Before You Defy, Hear Constitution's Cry !!!!!

Once held in high esteem, taken as the spirit of democracy and the most cherished document of the nation, Yes, My children I am the same constitution of India, standing helpless, continuously hurt and insulted and the most chased to be changed by those who can never spare the time to go through me, can never take the pains to pass my journey, have no interest in knowing my history, take me so insignificant to be given any importance.

But you know what it never hurts me; it never takes me back as I know what place I hold even for those who frequently question my sanctity, who regularly demand my reconstruction. Whenever something happens in your country however grave and however humble you raise your eyebrows at me, demand to change me and protest against Republic Day. Because at some hidden corner of your heart you know that “I” am the foundation of your system. “I” am the soul of your democracy.

But have you bothered to notice that whenever you try to point out me four fingers are pointed towards you!!! Let me ask you a very simple question. Have you ever celebrated the Republic Day that you are DEMANDING TO BOYCOTT??? You always take the democracy establish by me as a mockery of democratic spirit, a null of values and a zero for nothing. But have you yourselves adopted this democratic spirit in your life, your family and your society???

Now don’t look at me with open mouth!!! I know the answer. It’s “Plain” and “Big” no. Isn't it strange that one thing you never practiced yourselves and you are blaming me for the failure of the same!!!!  Surprised that how cool I am, even after repeated calls by you to amend me and bend me. Because I know and I humbly admit that my system has failed to give the desired results. My foundation has not proved strong enough to shield all my children from the menaces of poverty, corruption, discrimination and exploitation.

                                               

Will you tell me how does this system of mine operate??? Does the system operate in vacuum??Perhaps you would have read me and understood me then you would have come to know that it is “YOU” whom I have made the masters of this system!!! It is “YOU” in who lays the sovereignty of the nation. The System operates with you My Dear Children!!

Yes, the leaders of my country are bad, inhuman, insensitive and corrupt. But will you please answer who elects them?? Who give them votes in the name of religion region and caste??? Who prefer personal ties over the ideologies?? What do you do on the Voting Day?? How many of you go and Vote? How many of you have tried to be a part of the system and rectify it??

Now don’t put your eyes down!! Look at me and tell how does this Vote Bank Politics operate?? Who enjoys the OFFICIAL voting day holiday sitting idle and criticize the government for doing nothing??

Sorry for being harsh, for being that rude but after all I can also use those rights which i have given to you. Yes you heard it rightly your “Rights” are given by me only!! You people always cry for your rights without giving a second thought to your duties. Why do you forget that someone’s right is your duty. You always cry and oppose that your rights are just a show off, of no practical value. But when you oppose and protest for the same you know what you are using your rights only and that are also given by me, my dear Children.

                               

You always demand for adopting the one or another feature of the developed nations to solve your problems. Perhaps someone had told you that I have amalgamated the best features of all the major constitutions of the world. Yes, I have taken a major portion of my body from the acts of British government. Because I believe that we have to take whatever good we can find, no matter where it comes from. And Look how opposite my children are, they are not satisfied even with the Best things they own. Don’t misunderstand me for this!!! I have taken only the provisions not the spirit of colonial rule. I have done necessary changes, required alterations to suit our socio-economic construct and our new born democracy. Solutions of all your problems lie with me, given that you use me properly, not only in letters but in spirit.

You know what is your problem??? You don’t understand the concepts properly. You mix laws with constitution. Take Politicians as political system. Associate the degradation of bureaucrats with bureaucracy. Link the failure of government with the failure of system. Yes, I give abundance of powers to numerous people, but for what purpose??It is for the sake of your development, for your welfare.  At the same time I put some obligations on all these power holders and give desired safeguards to you so that these powers are not misused and you are not exploited. Irony is that power holders become extra active and corrupt the power and you become extra passive, get exploited and also exploit others whenever find the chance, never use my safeguards and criticize me for your disadvantages.

I know it’s not that easy to fight the battle for truth and justice. It takes lot of time, energy and patience. But remember my child in this world everything comes at the payment of something. You must have heard No Gains without Pains. This is equally applicable to me, you and everyone else in this world.

Let me hammer it out- it is ME and YOU who make this system. Without one another we both are less than ourselves. Without you I am just a Document, a piece of paper. Without me you are always objectified. If we both come together we can do the wonders. So, My Dear Children Hold my Hands, Trust me, Have Faith in me. I am here only for your welfare, for your progress. Help me in this interest of yours. I promise I’ll never let you down. If you listen to my cry and I’ll never let anyone of you cry. But for that at least give me one sincere try!!!
