The constitution-makers used the others country’s provision and placed them in our country as the DPSPs of India is taken from the constitution of Ireland.
The DPSPs and the Fundamental Rights have been the biggest contentious point in the Indian constitution. Also, it can be said that the DPSPs and FR are the Two Facades of any coin. But the difference between both the parts are the DPSPs are not compelled by the Supreme Court of India but the Fundament Rights are the compulsions that are compelled by the Supreme Court.
