Continues from the
last posing
Our
constitution's measure defect as per my reading is that it continues
to hold citizens responsible for every wrong that happens in this
country. For example, provisions in our constitution which Indira
Gandhi used to proclaim emergency were in our constitution. She
declared emergency as per those provisions and we have seen how
things turned against the people. Their life had become miserable due
to it and for that I blame our constitution. This document presumes
that all politicians, bureaucrats and judges are honest and only
people are always wrong! Had it had provisions to look into what
wrong these three pillars of our government were doing; that
emergency would not have been proclaimed. Today I see BJP minister
blames Indira Gandhi for declaration of that emergency but never
bothered to see that it was wrong provisions in the document that
made it possible and so it is our wrongly written constitution that
we have to hold responsible for whatever wrong these three pillars
are doing to our country. There should be provisions for declaration
of emergency against bureaucrats, politician to keep them from
indulging and misusing their powers. Our police is a special case for
study as it makes a different type of a (corrupt) bureaucratic
system. In many cases police behave like a pseudo-judiciary. In many
cases an ordinary police constable is more than a SC judge and that
is right on the road. Many citizens will agree to this my point as
they may have experienced how at times police behave with them using
their ultra special powers. I very much feel that the police
department should be a responsibility of judiciary and not the state
government. Constitution should discuss in details about how to
manage different types of nexuses amongst vested interests of
different types with these three pillars and how to save innocent
citizens from getting exploited by such nexuses. They say our Indian
law is a donkey; that means, those who make these laws are also
donkeys! We want reason-ability in our laws and for that we should
get them made by persons who have that sense of responsibility. Our
laws are prepared with many loose ends deliberately kept so that the
law can be twisted to interpret in the style and manner vested
interest can be saved. That should not be possible. We
should also note that the justice propounded by our constitution is
not absolute but only relative to available evidence, proof and
witness. By twisting these three, one can manipulate and twist the
ruling also. Recent Salman case is an example in point. I suggest
that in new constitution this limitation should be clearly mentioned;
which present constitution does not do.
I
want to conclude this long running post by saying that all the people
from these three pillars namely, politicians, bureaucrats and judges
will always praise this wrongly written document as it is helpful to
them and we as citizens of this country should always condemn this
document as a curse to our democracy and always denounce it. I would
also suggest that we as citizens of this country should not fall pray
to the praise made by people from these three pillars of our present
constitution and accept that is an ideal constitution. It may be
ideal for them but not for citizens. It must be modified to include
the changes I have recommended. A public debate may be undertaken to
enlighten people about how our present constitution is not good for
them, the citizens of India.
