JIPMAT 2025 Question Paper
Unlike, (i) Britain, the Indian Constitution has a Bill of Rights. This was a break with the past and the roots of the change lay in the history of the Indian freedom. Prior to the enactment of the Parliamentary Act of 1935, demands were made (ii) India for the incorporation into the Act a Bill of Rights. This demand was rejected by the British Government following its own tradition that freedom was best preserved not by constitutional provisions but by adherence to the rule of law and to unwritten practices and conventions. This was not (iii) to the Indian mind which had long suffered from discriminations, disabilities and oppressive acts of the foreign rulers. To Indians, as to most modern minds, a Bill of Rights was an essential feature of a complete Constitution. It has been said that "the Indian reaction" (in enacting the Bill of Rights), "like the American reaction, is in large measure a product of the British rule." The Indian Bill of Rights (iv), in a certain measure, the pattern of the Constitution of the United States of America, but it
has also borrowed (v) from other Constitutions, and some of its provisions are indicative of the peculiar difficulties of the institutions of the country itself.

One of the peculiarities which distinguish the present age is the multiplication of books. Everyday brings new advertisements of literary undertakings, and we are flattered with repeated promises of growing wise on easier terms than our progenitors. How much either happiness or knowledge is advanced by this multitude of authors, is not very easy to decide. He that teaches us anything which we know not before, is undoubtedly to be loved as a benefactor; and he that supplies life with innocent amusement, will certainly be caressed as a pleasing companion. But a few of those who fill the world with books, have any pretensions to the hope either of pleasing or instructing. They have often no other task than to lay two books before them out of which they compile a third, without any new materials of their own, and with little application of judgement to those which former authors have supplied. That all compilations are useless, I do not assert. Particles of science are often widely scattered upon topics very remote from the principal subject, which are often more valuable than formal treatises, and which yet are not known because they are not promised in the title. He that collects those under proper heads is laudably employed; for though he exerts no great abilities in the work, he facilitates the progress of others, and, by making that easy of attainment which is already written, may give some mind more vigorous or more adventurous than his own, leisure for new thoughts and originality of designs. But the collections poured lately from the press have seldom been made at any great expense of time or inquiry and therefore only serve to distract choice without supplying any real want.
