How the socialist state took our right to property & why the latest SC ruling begins a correction

#CutTheClutter
With the SC ruling that not all private properties can be considered ‘material resources of the community’, in Episode 1550 of #CutTheClutter, Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta traces the evolution of property rights under Article 39(b) of the Indian Constitution & how the issue can be traced back to a 1977 minority opinion by Justice Krishna Iyer.

SG should next make a video on Waqf.
What's the current provisions under Indian waqf related laws are and what's currently happening with waqf in Karnataka.

[parvadhami]

Imagine the absolute rot that our economy was in during the Sweet Socialist era of the 70s

[sankalp]

It was a pure communist idea and it is NOT yet dead. ThePrint's guest writer and Rahul Gandhi's new best pal (and "maal" supplier) - the great worker - Shri"maan" Yogendra Yadav along with his fellow "intellectuals" very recently proposed takeover of private property and wealth. Such people have considerable influence over political parties. Sam Pitroda's return signals INC virtual endorsement of his ideas.

Can you do a video about Waqf board and issue happening in Munambam, Kerala? Waqf board snatched the land of around 600 families there.

It is sad that while we Indians are distracted by rhetorical politics, there are forces in our "democratic" government and political parties that want to seize our property and destroy our rights. It doesn't matter which party wins when ultimately we lose our rights yet again. We need to come together to stamp out socialism and government tyrrany, don't let the politicians distract you with emotional rhetoric. It took a lot of effort to undo the horrors of Socialism, but those horrors have been slowly coming back.

'Modi will change the Constitution if he comes to power'...😄

[harshalshah]

Another thing which got shadowed was the "takhta-palat" in Germany :)

[dobariyanaitikdineshbhai]

I love free markets and consider socialism inferior, a welcome move which points at the direction of India being more free market oriented.

[funmann]

It is heartening to hear that there is still an institution in India which is concerned with the welfare of the country- the Judiciary. Also it us doubly comforting that there is active debate between the members.This is surely a bright spot in Indian democracy where most institutions have been compromised.

[tapemaj]

Sir
You did not introduce your viewers about this judgment at the start and straight away went into the constitutional legality !

Spare a thought for the uninitiated and unversed in judicial language .

[earlessmaple]

With all due respect I could not understand anything about what you were talking. What was the arbitration and what was the judgment

[fu]

It was land reforms - the zamindari system was still in place, was the main reason why the right to property was taken away.

[abhina]

The erstwhile Fundamental Right to Property (1950) was done away with Keshwanand Bharti Case (April 24, 1973) by 13 Judge SCI Bench and now it is our Legal Right. This 1973 SCI Landmark Judgement gave us the BASIC STRUCTURE of our Constitution. Yes, from this date, all acts in the Schedule 9 of our Constitution come under Judicial Review and can be challenged in the court of law.

[SuryanarayanaJagarlapudi]

I am a Senior Advocate of standing and after hearing the analysis, I feel that it is an exceptionally good one. Krishna Iyer J was a Communist on the Bench.
Nehru was apparently a Democratic but was a closet autocrat.
Even Russia got rid of Socialism.

[TejasJain]

What Justice V R Krishnan Iyer's long winding orders used to do for lawyers, is what you just did to laymen like us, Shekar :D I might need to revisit this video several times (in addition to some independent study on this matter) but great job shedding light on this judgement. I've been conveniently avoiding this topic due to the very reasons you mentioned, but my habit of consuming hot chocolate along with your CTC video, forced me to look into it.. and I'm glad that I did.

[varunmenonk]

Thank you sir, for giving a comprehensive understanding of a complex issue

[vaishaliwalimbbe]

Wonderful explanation. So much research and study has gone into this is incredible. Thanks 🙏🏼

[relelata]

Thanks for explaining the background of the issue in simple terms. I was hoping that the SC was more clear in its order defining what are the privately created & owned resources/assets & what are the privately run/administered licenced natural resources by private parties, like coal, minerals. Leaving it to the govt agencies to decide is dangerous. Like govt cannot take over a manufacturing facility set up by foreign company in India on India's invitation & encouragement.

[kuku]

This is where Cut the Clutter and Shri SG shines !!

[indermohansinghmalhotra]

Fantastic appraisal & comment! This defines the acme of journalism. Thank you! 🙏😊
