Just celebrate democracy before you lose it for ever!
Palash Biswas
The Rulers have become the absolute hegemony to sell of the Nation killing the democracy,killing Man and Nature.
Reforms means ethnic cleansing with racial apartheid.
Please celebrate Constitution Day on 26th November to protect your fundamental rights and the sovereignty of the nation and the democratic set up on the stake!
Just celebrate democracy before you lose it for ever!
We have no role in the fight to get independence,it may be understood.We are independent by birth and once upon a time we had been the citizen of India by birth.Since 9/11 as United States of America launched a war against terror,no one happens to be a citizen by birth on this globe ruled by United States of America.
We have no role to defend the independence of our country specifically its democracy as the old lady in Bhimtal(Nainital) a widow of a British Colonel left alone claimed that Indians might not rule, the must be ruled!
Perhaps in 1979 when Morarji Desai had to resign.I visited the lady who lived with her cats on a Sunday with Father Mascarenhas during winter vacation.Father Mascarenhas was also a student of MA and I was staying with him in Bhowali Church and he had to visit his paris on Sunday and I had to accompany him.
Morarji Desai was the Prime Minister of the Janata Party government.
This government came to power in the March 1977 elections, because the people were furious about the Emergency. But it consisted of a number of political parties and groups ...BLD, Socialists, Congress O etc. which had very little in common apart from an anti Indira- Gandhi stance.
The government had already started to unravel in 1979. This worsened when the Jan Sangh members refused to give up their membership in the RSS. Then Charan Singh, who had prime ministerial ambitions, broke up the government with the help of the Socialists.
As Morarji Desai's party no longer held a majority in Parliament, he had to resign.
The British lady warned,You Indians do not know the value of freedom and you have just inherited the freedom to destroy the nation.
The Free for all Open Market economy tells us what she did mean!
Incidentally,Modified President of United States of America,Mr Barack Hussein Obama is going to be the honourable guest on Republic day.
We should welcome the first ever US President on republic day and it should be treated as the achievement of the government we have elected with landslide majority.
It remains a puzzle for me what republic day we do celebrate!
It remains a puzzle for me for whom we do celebrate the republic day at all!
The puzzle is perhaps going to be solved.
We emerged as a nation amidst unprecedented holocaust which perhaps never did end for those communities who had to pay for the independence of two nations which ultimately turned to be three countries in this divided bleeding geopolitics under continuous civil war and war for the best interest of foreign interests as it used to do before the partition.
Unfazed by opposition's hard positions on passage of reform legislations like insurance bill, the Finance Minister today said it is determined to go ahead with the measures in the winter session of Parliament beginning Monday.
However, he parried questions on whether the government plans to convene a joint session for passage of some of these legislations if consensus with Congress and other opposition parties was not possible.
"We are determined to go ahead. Merely because someone has an agenda only to obstruct is not going to deter us," Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said in an interaction with PTI journalists at the PTI headquarters here.

He was asked as to what would be the government stand in regard to pushing the bills like the one to further open up insurance sector when Congress leaders like Anand Sharma say that they have reservations over it and that they are non-committal on changes to Land Act and Coal Regulatory Authority Bill.
"I am not saying it is a possibility. May be we have it cleared in the House itself. The more the state elections, the more the obstructionists will lose," he said when asked about the possibility of holding a joint session.
Jaitley's remarks were a veiled dig at Congress which has lost power in Maharashtra and Haryana and faces a tough electoral battle in Jammu and Kashmir and Jharkhand.
Replying to another question as to why the government has problems with the land acquisition law when the BJP did not seek these changes when it was being passed during the UPA regime, the Finance Minister said it is the principal job of the government to lay down the agenda.
"When the government comes out with a highly-populist agenda, however misconceived it is, you don't expect the opposition to say don't do it. So when the Rajasthan state government (of the Congress) said I will distribute medicines free, why will the opposition oppose it and spoil chances for itself."
He also claimed that even within UPA, barring a small section, most others who dealt with the subject were conscious that "what they have done has adverse consequences".
We on 26th November,1949 constituted a democratic,secular and socialist nation adopting a constitution and opted for a People`s Republic of India and simply it meant that we as a nation pledged for a democracy by the people,of the people and for the people.
Does that Republic India exist at all?
Does the constitution survive to ensure democracy and rule of law for all people as the preamble of the constitution said:
THE CONSTITUTION OF INDIA
Preamble
WE, THE PEOPLE OF INDIA, having solemnly resolved to constitute India into a _1[SOVEREIGN SOCIALIST SECULAR DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC] and to secure to all its citizens: JUSTICE, social, economic and political; LIBERTY of thought, expression, belief, faith and worship; EQUALITY of status and of opportunity; and to promote among them all FRATERNITY assuring the dignity of the individual and the _2[unity and integrity of the Nation]; IN OUR CONSTITUENT ASSEMBLY this twenty-sixth day of November, 1949, do HEREBY ADOPT, ENACT AND GIVE TO OURSELVES THIS CONSTITUTION. Modi invited President Obama at a time while President Obama decided in recent weeks to authorize a more expansive mission for the military in Afghanistan in 2015 than originally planned, a move that ensures American troops will have a direct role in fighting in the war-ravaged country for at least another year. As New York Times reports: Mr. Obama's order allows American forces to carry out missions against the Taliban and other militant groups threatening American troops or the Afghan government, a broader mission than the president described to the public earlier this year, according to several administration, military and congressional officials with knowledge of the decision. The new authorization also allows American jets, bombers and drones to support Afghan troops on combat missions. Continue reading the main story RELATED COVERAGEIn an announcement in the White House Rose Garden in May, Mr. Obama said that the American military would have no combat role in Afghanistan next year, and that the missions for the 9,800 troops remaining in the country would be limited to training Afghan forces and to hunting the "remnants of Al Qaeda." The decision to change that mission was the result of a lengthy and heated debate that laid bare the tension inside the Obama administration between two often-competing imperatives: the promise Mr. Obama made to end the war in Afghanistan, versus the demands of the Pentagon that American troops be able to successfully fulfill their remaining missions in the country. The internal discussion took place against the backdrop of this year's collapse of Iraqi security forces in the face of the advance of the Islamic State as well as the mistrust between the Pentagon and the White House that still lingers since Mr. Obama's 2009 decision to "surge" 30,000 American troops to Afghanistan. Some of the president's civilian advisers say that decision was made only because of excessive Pentagon pressure, and some military officials say it was half-baked and made with an eye to domestic politics. Mr. Obama's decision, made during a White House meeting in recent weeks with his senior national security advisers, came over the objection of some of his top civilian aides, who argued that American lives should not be put at risk next year in any operations against the Taliban — and that they should have only a narrow counterterrorism mission against Al Qaeda. But the military pushed back, and generals both at the Pentagon and in Afghanistan urged Mr. Obama to define the mission more broadly to allow American troops to attack the Taliban, the Haqqani network and other militants if intelligence revealed that the extremists were threatening American forces in the country. The president's order under certain circumstances would also authorize American airstrikes to support Afghan military operations in the country and ground troops to occasionally accompany Afghan troops on operations against the Taliban.
Why Modi's Republic Day invite to Barack Obama marks a watershed in India-US ties - See more at: http://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-others/why-the-invite-marks-a-watershed-in-india-us-ties/#sthash.XEwSKyVy.dpuf Written by C Raja Mohan | New Delhi | Posted: November 22, 2014 4:20 am | Updated: November 22, 2014 5:29 pm The presence of US President Barack Obama at the Republic Day celebrations next year is likely to mark the long awaited moment of transformation in India's relations with America and an extraordinary shift in Delhi's world view. READ: Modiplomacy: Obama Republic Day guest Prime Minister Narendra Modi's decision to invite Obama, and the American president's acceptance reveal the scale and scope of the mutual understanding that appears to have emerged out of the meeting between the two leaders in September. Over the next two months, Delhi and Washington will have the opportunity to clinch a broad set of ambitious agreements — ranging from defence and counter-terrorism at one end to economic agreements at the other — that will lay the foundation for a genuine strategic partnership between India and the United States. READ: Nawaz Sharif asks Barack Obama to raise Kashmir issue during Republic day visit That this is the first time Delhi has invited an American president to join the Republic Day celebrations highlights enduring Indian ambivalence towards the United States. The reluctance of the world's largest democracy to share the most important day in its national life with the world's most powerful democracy underlined how estranged the two republics had become over the decades. It was indeed commonplace to suggest that anti-Americanism was deeply embedded within the DNA of the Indian political and bureaucratic classes. This jinx has now been broken by an Indian Prime Minister who has had the greatest reason to turn his back on America; for Washington had denied him entry into the United States for more than a decade. Unlike many in Delhi, who were advising the PM to ignore America, Modi has understood the centrality of the United States in accelerating India's economic growth and elevating its position in the international system. Whatever might have been his personal grievance, Modi said, it has no bearing on on his government's pursuit of India's national interests with the United States. Atal Bihari Vajpayee, India's first prime minister from the BJP, saw far enough to declare in 1998 that India and America were 'natural allies' despite the then prevailing tensions over the nuclear issue. Modi now appears determined to translate Vajpayee's sentiment into a durable partnership. Obama, too, moved quickly to seize the moment when Modi won the elections in May. Recognizing the mistakes made on the visa issue, Obama chose to call Modi even before he was sworn in as the PM and invite him to Washington. When he shows up in Delhi in January, Obama will be the only American president to visit India twice. Obama had visited India in November 2010.perception that Obama's warm reception to Modi at the White House was just a photo op, the two leaders appeared to have decided to resolve all outstanding issues — from trade and climate change to nuclear liability and nonproliferation — and clear the path for new and consequential initiatives. The recent deal on WTO that came out of the intense negotiations that followed Modi's visit to the White House suggests that the two leaders had personally driven their bureaucracies to bring the dispute on trade facilitation to an end. That the news of the invitation to Obama came first from Modi's personal twitter handle and not from either the Prime Minister's Office or the Ministry of External Affairs, reveals the extraordinary personal attention that PM has devoted to the relationship with America. The latest development takes us back to 2005-06, when Bush offered a rare opportunity to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to transform the partnership between the two countries. But self-doubt in the Congress leadership and opportunistic opposition from the BJP saw India squander that rare moment. With stronger authority over his own party and government and a clear vision of India's international goals, Modi is all set to pick up the ball that was dropped by the UPA government a decade ago. Although many in Delhi say Obama is a lame-duck president, Modi knows that the American President has considerable freedom to conduct foreign policy until the very last day in office and has immense executive power to effect change the relations with India. Strong Republican support for India in the US Congress, the new tensions in America's ties with China and Russia, and the unfolding geopolitical flux in Middle East and Asia, make it possible for Modi and Obama to boldly reimagine the bilateral partnership. |
Preamble to the Constitution of India
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The original text of the Preamble, before the 42nd Amendment) of the Constitution
The preamble to the Constitution of India is a brief introductory statement that sets out the guiding purpose and principles of the document. The preamble-page, along with other pages of the original Constitution of India, was designed and decorated solely by renowned painter Beohar Rammanohar Sinha of Jabalpur who was at Shantiniketan with acharya Nandalal Bose at that time. Nandalal Bose endorsed Beohar Rammanohar Sinha's artwork without any alteration whatsoever. As such, the page bears Beohar Rammanohar Sinha's short signature Ram in Devanagari lower-right corner.
That the preamble is not an integral part of the Indian constitution was declared by the Supreme Court of India in BeruBari case therefore it is not enforceable in a court of law. However, Supreme Court of India has, in the Kesavanandacase, overruled earlier decisions and recognised that the preamble may be used to interpret ambiguous areas of the constitution where differing interpretations present themselves. In the 1995 case of Union Government Vs LIC of India also, the Supreme Court has once again held that Preamble is the integral part of the Constitution.
As originally enacted the preamble described the state as a "sovereigndemocratic republic". In 1976 the Forty-second Amendment changed this to read "sovereign socialist secular democratic republic".[1]

Introduction[edit]
These are the opening words of the preamble to the Indian Constitution
" | WE, THE PEOPLE OF INDIA, having solemnly resolved to constitute India into a SOVEREIGN SOCIALIST SECULAR DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC and to secure to all its citizens: JUSTICE, social, economic and political; LIBERTY of thought, expression, belief, faith and worship; EQUALITY of status and of opportunity; and to promote among them all FRATERNITY assuring the dignity of the individual and the unity and integrity of the Nation; IN OUR CONSTITUENT ASSEMBLY this twenty-sixth day of November, 1949, do HEREBY ADOPT, ENACT AND GIVE TO OURSELVES THIS CONSTITUTION. | " |
Meaning[edit]
This section does not cite any references or sources. Please help improve this section by adding citations to reliable sources. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (November 2010) |
Enacting formula[edit]
This section possibly contains original research. Please improve it by verifyingthe claims made and adding inline citations. Statements consisting only of original research should be removed. (March 2014) |
The enacting words, "We, the people of India ...in our constituent assembly ...do here by adopt, enact and give to ourselves this constitution", signify the democratic principle that power is ultimately rested in the hands of the people. It also emphasises that the constitution is made by and for the Indian people and not given to them by any outside power (such as the British Parliament). The phrase "we the people" emphasises the concept of popular sovereignty as laid down by J. J. Rousseau: All the power emanates from the people and the political system will be accountable and responsible to the people.
Sovereign[edit]
The word sovereign means supreme or independence. India is internally and externally sovereign - externally free from the control of any foreign power and internally, it has a free government which is directly elected by the people and makes laws that govern the people.She allies in peace and war. The Popular sovereignty is also one of the basic structure of constitution of India. Hence, Citizens of India also enjoy sovereign power to elect their representatives in elections held for parliament, state legislature and local bodies as well.People have supreme right to make decisions on internal as well as external matters.No external power can dictate the government of India.
Socialist[edit]
The word socialist was added to the Preamble by the Forty-second Amendment.[1] It implies social and economic equality.
Social equality in this context means the absence of discrimination on the grounds only of caste, colour, creed, sex, religion, or language. Under social equality, everyone has equal status and opportunities.
Economic equality in this context means that the government will endeavor to make the distribution of wealth more equal and provide a decent standard of living for all. This is in effect emphasized a commitment towards the formation of awelfare state. India has adopted a socialistic and mixed economy and the government has framed many laws to achieve the aim.
Secular[edit]
Secular means the relationship between the government and the people which is determined according to constitution and law. By the 42nd Amendment, the term "Secular" was also incorporated in the Preamble. Secularism is the basic structure of the Indian constitution. The Government respects all religions. It does not uplift or degrade any particular religion. There is no such thing as a state religion for India. In S.R. Bommai vs UOI (1994) The SC of India held "A state which does not recognise any religion as the state religion, it treats all religions equally". Positively, Indian secularism guarantees equal freedom to all religion. it stands for the right to freedom of religion for all citizens. Explaining the meaning of secularism as adopted by India, AlexandrOwics has written, "Secularism is a part of the basic of the Indian Constitution and it means equal freedom and respect for all religions."
Democratic[edit]
The first part of the preamble "We, the people of India" and, its last part "give to ourselves this Constitution" clearly indicate the democratic spirit involved even in the Constitution. India is a democracy. The people of India elect their governments at all levels (Union, State and local) by a system of universal adult franchise; popularly known as "one man one vote". Every citizen of India, who is 18[2] years of age and above and not otherwise debarred by law, is entitled to vote. Every citizen enjoys this right without any discrimination on the basis of caste, creed, colour, sex, Religious intolerance or education.
Republic[edit]
As opposed to a monarchy, in which the head of state is appointed on hereditary basis for a lifetime or until he abdicates from the throne, a democratic republic is an entity in which the head of state is elected, directly or indirectly, for a fixed tenure. The President of India is elected by an electoral college for a term of five years. The post of the President of India is not hereditary. Every citizen of India is eligible to become the President of the country.The leader of the state is elected by the people.
Forty-second Amendment[edit]
On 18 December 1976, during the Emergency in India, the Indira Gandhi government pushed through several changes in the Forty-second Amendment of the constitution. A committee under the chairmanship of Sardar Swaran Singhrecommended that this amendment be enacted after being constituted to study the question of amending the constitution in the light of past experience. Through this amendment the words "socialist" and "secular" were added between the words "sovereign" and "democratic" and the words "unity of the Nation" were changed to "unity and integrity of the Nation".[1]
The idea for the addition of 'socialist' was prompted by Indira Gandhi, as an ode to India's growing relationship with the erstwhile USSR.
