The Constitution of India which came into effect on 26th January 1950 is the pole star which guides us in times of difficulties or crisis. It is a unique document in the sense that it is dynamic,flexible and evolving and adaptable to any changing situation. It has explicit guidelines to deal with any and every contingency as it may arise.
Under the Constitution the Executive, the Judiciary and the Legislature have their appropriate functions. They are intended to be supplementary and complementary to each other. They are expected to perform in tandem and in a cooperative spirit.
The Preamble which states that We,the People of India having resolved to constitute India as a sovereign,independent,socialist,democratic,secular republic hereby confer upon ourselves this Constitution. The objectives of the Constitution are to secure to its citizens equality of opportunity,freedom of thought,expression,belief and faith,brotherhood between all the people and justice for all.
The Constitution has the best features of both Eastern and Western Constitutions. It imagines an India which is strong,united,self-reliant,prosperous,egalitarian and progressive.
The Supreme Court of India is the custodian of the Constitution and hence its decisions are final and binding on everyone. It is the duty of every citizen to respect and obey the decisions of the Supreme Court. Except for a few aberrations the Supreme Court has sincerely been following the Constitution in letter and spirit. Its Judges are persons of the highest integrity and beyond reproach.
The Legislature which of late has been functioning in an erratic manner must come to its senses and realize that it owes a duty to the people and nation. All the parties must rise above narrow and parochial interests and start introspection and try to inculcate a spirit of cooperation and consensus when dealing with issues of national importance. The people have arisen and will no longer tolerate the present corrupt and immoral breed of politicians. The need of the hour is to elect persons of integrity and competence.
The Executive which is supposed to implement the will of the people is also failing in performing its assigned tasks. Instead of looking to politicians and ministers for promotions and cushy postings they should perform their duties without fear or favour. They can rest assured that the Judiciary and the people of India will strongly back them in the event of any reprisals from any quarter.
As Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar said ' The Constitution will never fail us if we have men of integrity and competence at all levels'.
Jai Hind Jai Bharat!
