lives as the wish of God! This is surely not passing the test of
time. It is a debacle of our hard earned independence and the
democracy so established! And therefore I have the audacity to
say that “India’s freedom is not yet free”.
We now realise that our guardians are not capable* of taking
care of the affairs of the country. The purpose of my present
work is to identify these causes of consistent fumbling of our
governments and offer tangible recourse to prevent further
dilapidation of the nation. Seventy years is a huge period. Wisdom
demands corrective steps to set all wrongs right and pull the
nation out of wails and put on rails. And behold, it is possible!
We just need to have responsible and accountable system of governances at the Union and States and a steadfast Judiciary to play a conscientious third guardian to nip the Legislature’s and Executive’s Constitutional defiance/ failures right in the bud and for this purpose the Supreme Court has been vested with the supreme ultimate jurisdiction as noted under citation (p. 4). Brownson’s remark at the beginning of the Genesis is quite pertinent in this respect and so also clipping 4.
I have attempted to study cursorily a few worthy Constitutions of the world and the philosophy behind framing a Constitution. The reasons of our utter failures are basic and easy to identify. I have endeavoured to put forth these reasons in a comprehensible manner in Chapter 6 (p. 157). It is hoped that readers shall find the analysis lucid and enlightening. In our case the “causes” and “effects” have gone out of control and have turned the nation into a large static monolith. My researches (Part 3) and their wise implementation through City Centres as conceived
* When nagging and accusing each other becomes a political pastime, “incumbencies” walk out of the door and national interests become inconsequential!
by me, can surely turn it around into a dynamic and bubbling
nation full of vigour and hope.
The time comes when the learned Judiciary must rise to
establish responsible and accountable system of governances
at the Union and the States, halt the lax work culture of the
governments and direct them to accomplish the fundamental and
inalienable economic and social objectives of the Constitution
(Parts III and IV of the Constitution) in letter and spirit.
The implementation of the Constitution (which is a gospel
truth for the wellbeing of the people) is now an urgent necessity
on the part of the Judiciary to elude the building up people’s
unrest.
The present attempt of the author will bring awareness
amongst the people of the land and apprise them of the causes
ailing the nation and recourse to cure them. It will also tell
them the purpose of our Constitution and how it can protect
us. With this awareness it is hoped that people of India will be
able to have responsible and accountable system of governances
that will be sensitive to human sufferings and capable of
accomplishing the basic objectives of our struggle for freedom
and empower our large famished and debilitated masses to lead
a happy and dignified life.
