How are Fundamental Rights different from Directive Principles? Give me one example of each and how courts balance them.
Fundamental Rights (Part III, Articles 12 to 35) are justiciable: if one is violated you can go straight to the Supreme Court under Article 32. Directive Principles (Part IV, Articles 36 to 51) are not enforceable in court (Article 37), but they are "fundamental in the governance of the country".
- FR example: Article 21, protection of life and personal liberty.
- DPSP example: Article 39(b), distributing material resources to serve the common good.
Courts treat them as two halves of one design. In Minerva Mills (1980) the Supreme Court held that the Constitution rests on the balance between the two, so neither can be used to destroy the other.

DS AI
A tutor that knows your exam, not just the internet.
DS AI is set up around the UPSC syllabus, unit by unit. It explains a concept until it clicks, then turns the conversation into material you can revise from.
- Chats organised by unit. Polity, History, Economy and the rest each keep their own threads, so nothing gets lost.
- Notes in one click. Turn today's session, or the whole chat, into a clean note that saves itself.
- Highlight what you keep forgetting. Mark the weak parts of a note and DS AI makes revision cards from exactly those lines.
- Mind maps from your own chats. See how a topic connects before you write about it.
Government of India Act, 1935
Highlights onThe Act abolished dyarchy in the provinces and introduced provincial autonomy. It provided for an All-India Federation, which never came into being.
Why it matters for Mains
Much of the Constitution's administrative structure draws on it. It divided powers into three lists: Federal, Provincial and Concurrent, and set up a Federal Court in 1937.
