Hello Aspirant.

Hope you are doing well.

Golaknath was a Sikh preacher who challenged the idea of forced conversion of Hindus to Sikhism in the Indian state of Punjab. I.C Golaknath v. State of Punjab was the first landmark judgement to consider the ambit of Article 368[i]. This case was the cornerstone that laid the foundation for the formulation of the Basic Structure Doctrine. This case is very important as it has preserved the erosion of fundamental rights by the application of Article 368.

GOOD LUCK, STAY MOTIVATED AND HOPE THIS HELPS.

Thankyou.
