7 " While the ongoing debate on CAA, some extra expert said. the constitution of India is only for Indian citizens. I do not agree with this in all. the constitution of the country is not only for the citizen of the country but it gives many rights to those also who are living in the country but they are a citizen of another country,
For example, the Indian constitution gives the right to practice your religion as per your faith. This is for people, not just for citizens if some french or Russian or German come to India and wants to practice his/her religion, can you stop? can you say, no you can't do it because you are not an Indian citizen and this is the right of only Indian citizens? simple no.
despite the person is not a citizen of India but the Indian constitution giving him/her the right to practice his/her faith or belief.
So it made me curious to do small research while doing that I found in the preamble of most of the countries, there is a word "people", Not "Citizen".
As we all know the difference between the word "people" and "citizens".
Why in the preamble there is the word "people" rather than a "citizen"? as I understand, it is because it speaks about the whole people living in the country not only for the citizen of the country.
let's take an example:- we are 5 people in the room. one is Indian, one is Russian, one is French and, one is german. now if somebody wants us to come out that person will say. "the people of this room please come out". and if we do not want to come out we will say " we the people of this room do not want to come out" Despite belonging to any religion or country we are a group of people inside that room, not the group of Citizens or Religion.
The same way the preamble of the Constitution speaks.
India:- we the people of India. Not " We the Citizen of India"
Russia:- Мы, многонациональный народ Российской Федерации, (We, the multinational people of the Russian Federation,)
Mie, mnogonatsional'nyy narod Rossiyskoy Federatsii,
( here is the word "народ-Narod" people, Not Citizen- grazhdanin -гражданин
Germany:-Damit gilt dieses Grundgesetz für das gesamte Deutsche Volk. (This Basic Law applies to the entire German people)
word - Volk - People or Crowd, not Bürger - Citizen
Franch:- Le peuple français proclame solennellement son attachement aux Droits de l'Homme (The French people solemnly proclaim their attachment to Human Rights)
here word. peuple - people, not citizen - citoyenne
Spain:- Proteger a todos los españoles y pueblos de España en el ejercicio de los derechos humanos, (Protect all Spaniards and peoples of Spain in the exercise of human rights,)
What I found interesting in Spanish is, there are 2 words one españoles - Spanish and pueblos de España - People of Spain. but not ciudadana (f) ciudadano(m) - Citizen
The constitution of the country gives rights to the citizen of the country, but also give many rights to noncitizen on humanitarian ground
