The Dr. D.C. Wadhwa & Ors. vs. State of Bihar & Ors. case of 1986 is a cornerstone in the Indian judicial history, highlighting the delicate balance of power between the executive and legislative branches of government . The case stemmed from a practice that had become routine for the Bihar government: the re-promulgation of ordinances without legislative approval, a process that Dr. D.C. Wadhwa, an economics professor, found to be a subversion of democratic principles . The Supreme Court's decision in this case was a resounding affirmation of constitutional law and its supremacy over executive convenience.

Does today's economic system need to be changed as per the present scenarios or should remain unchanged?
According to the World Inequality Report 2024- economic inequality in India is currently at its highest since British rule. The richest 10% of the global population takes home 52% of the global income, whereas the poorest 50% gets only 8.5% of it, hampering our SDG 10 goal.- as a mixed economy, India is still facing challenges in job creation in the non-farming sector.
- although the service sector contributes 55% to GVA FY-2024 but lags behind in job CREATION.
- In agriculture research where ₹ 1 investment including Education pays off ₹ 13.85 still faces farmers' strikes due to a lack of policy implementations at groundwork.
- PLFS's latest report is 2024 - a significant proportion of working women in low-paying, hazardous, and informal jobs.
Solutions:
- A "Socialistic" economic approach is necessary, Policy implementation should be on farms not on paper. ex. monitoring crops and seeds availability as per the soil, water irrigation at the time, and easy access to loan availability without a burden of payoff.
- Progressive Taxation- TAX collection and Distribution should be demand-driven.
- skill-based education is the key to prosper rather than a mugging up old age education system.
- Social Safety Nets- Railways, Roads, and infrastructure should be proper to connect the marginalized sector in terms of affordability, accessibility, and approachability.
- International Labour Organisation Report- around 83% of youth are still unemployed in India which raises a question on government policy implementations.
way forward-
"jai jawan, jai kisan, jai vigyan" should be the approach on fields through inclusive growth in terms of security at borders and home(proper salary and allowances), land reforms(proper land monitoring with soil-friendly crops), more research and analysis budget allocation to create jobs, wealth, health and environmental stability sustainably.

‘India had parliamentary institutions when people of Europe were mere nomads’
The quote by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, "India had parliamentary institutions when people of Europe were mere nomads," is a powerful testament to the ancient civilization's early advancements in governance and societal structures. It speaks volumes about the historical context of India's political systems, which were far more developed than often recognized in the common Eurocentric narrative of history. This essay will delve into the implications of Ambedkar's statement, exploring its historical accuracy, its significance in the context of Indian pride and identity, and its relevance in contemporary discussions about the origins and evolution of democratic institutions. Firstly, various historical records and scholarly research support the assertion that India had parliamentary institutions in ancient times.
