Summary

This quote highlights the dichotomy between the political and social realities in India. The political ideal, enshrined in the Constitution's preamble, promotes principles of liberty, equality, and fraternity for all citizens. However, the social fabric influenced by religious beliefs contradicts these guiding principles. This contrast illustrates the difficulties faced by Indian society, as individuals strive to reconcile the pursuit of political ideals with the constraints imposed by ingrained social norms that may hinder individual freedoms and perpetuate inequalities.
