Explanation

The framers of the Indian constitution made DPSPs non-justiciable and legally non-binding because of the following reasons:

  1. The country did not possess sufficient financial resources to implement them. 2. In their opinion, vast diversity and backwardness in the country would stand in the way of their implementation. 3. In their opinion, the newly-born independent Indian states, with their many preoccupations, might be crushed under the burden unless they were free to decide the order, the time, the place and the mode of fulfilling these DPSPs.
