Dr. B.R. Ambedkar envisioned the Constitution as a transformative tool to uphold equality, dignity, and justice above social customs. The ongoing Sabarimala matter before the Supreme Court reflects the tension between religious freedom under Article 25 and the fundamental rights to equality and non-discrimination under Articles 14 and 15. At its core, this issue transcends mere temple entry; it is fundamentally about constitutional morality—a principle championed by Ambedkar to ensure that tradition does not override individual rights. As the Court re-examines the balance between faith and equality, this case serves as a crucial test of India’s commitment to substantive justice. “Constitutional morality is not a natural sentiment. It has to be cultivated.” #ConstitutionalLaw #DrAmbedkar #Sabarimala #SupremeCourt #Equality
