Detailed Explanation
Detailed Explanation
The Directive Principles of State Policy (DPSP), enshrined in Part IV (Articles 36-51) of the Indian Constitution, have been borrowed from the Constitution of Ireland.
- Article 37 explicitly states that these principles are fundamental in the governance of the country and it shall be the duty of the State to apply these principles in making laws, but they are not 'justiciable' (i.e., cannot be enforced by any court).
- Statement (a) is incorrect because Part III contains Fundamental Rights which are justiciable, whereas Part IV contains DPSPs which are non-justiciable.
- Statement (c) is incorrect because Article 40 pertains to the organization of village panchayats, which is rooted in Gandhian philosophy.
- Statement (d) is incorrect because the Uniform Civil Code mentioned in Article 44 is part of the DPSP and is therefore non-justiciable.
Therefore, Option (b) is the most appropriate and correct statement.
