Scholar Anand Teltumbde argues that India's Constitution, despite its emancipatory promises of justice, liberty, and equality, has failed to deliver for the most dispossessed. He observes a significant gap between the Preamble's vision and current realities, citing threats to liberty, worsening economic inequality, and fractured fraternity due to communal hatred and caste consciousness. Teltumbde emphasizes the need to critique the Constitution to protect it from the Hindutva project aiming to establish a Hindu Rashtra, which he believes would be a calamity for India.
