The interpreted Preamble to Indian Constitution

PREAMBLE  TO INDIAN CONSTITUTION

Preamble to the constitution of India states its objectives as : 

• 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 70 years though the constitution is supposed to be in existence but the essence has been continuously changed by various governments and finally we have arrived at the NEW INTERPRETED PREAMBLE  to our constitution.

CHANGED PREAMBLE  TO INDIAN CONSTITUTION

If we just substitute the words WE THE  PEOPLE with the words  WE THE VERY IMPORTANT PEOPLE(VIP LAWMAKERS)  and  just follow their perceptions of all these  concepts mentioned in the Preamble  the confusion and frustrations of people still believing in the original Preamble will disappear. Are we not supposed to change with the TIME?

AS PER THE INTERPRETED PREAMBLE:

1. Justice is being  done but the Rules can’t be the same for all . Check up the History. Rulers always had different set of rules . Therefore to create ruckus against VIPs for crimes like rapes, accumulation of wealth is not justified .A VIP explained it in simple words “ boys will be boys” and VIP Boys have the special status in our society. To raise issues of rapes and murders is not justified. Similarly  there should  be  no  problem if under  Economic  Justice  wealth  is generated for  not only the VIP  family but the need of  all their extended family is taken care of.
2. The thought, expression, belief , faith  are supposed to be changed with the new VIPs. To resist change and stick to obsolete individualistic ideals will categorize you as the  dangerous intellectuals who need to be eliminated. If a Chief Minister donates 5 KG gold to the Deity it is for the good of the poor. God will ensure good crop and then the poor farmer will have food for the family. See the bigger picture!  History, Cultural activities like literature,  cinema,  dress code, food habits and religious beliefs  need to conform with the perceptions of the Rulers.  If the lawmakers feel it is more important to save the honour of “Padmavat” and everyday  cases of gang rapes and murders are immaterial , accept it. The word treason was rarely used  against citizens for it was supposed to be most heinous crime and we heard very few names in several decades. But the definition has changed and anybody who  has a difference of opinion with any VIP  THOUGHT ,EXPRESSION, BELIEF , faith is covered under it. The problem is the country will be having too many traitors (GADDAR)   Situation is grim  as even a  person accused of a crime is considered to be innocent till proved guilty but here the person is condemned as traitor till he/she prove they  prove their patriotism.
3. Equality of status and opportunity is a dream. The government  schools are  there but VIP children can’t be sent to such educational  institutions. Allahabad High Court passed such an Order that government Servants must send their children to government schools. Not implementable! 
4. Fraternity assuring the dignity of the individual and the unity of the nation is not implementable like so many schemes announced for the welfare of the public daily. These are meant to remain on paper only. In these times of LOCK DOWN due to  Pandemic migrant labourer’s  tragic plight is discussed continuously. Power without accountability is the norm in our country.  The elected MPs and MLAs could  not  visualize the  miserable life of migrants  in cramped  slums without work and money  and remained mute spectators of  migrant labour’s desperate efforts  to reach their homes,  is not a big deal.  Although  this was an opportunity  for  the elected representatives  to show their respect for the dignity of the individual by providing passage for the people of their constituencies who elected them.

So far during the Lock Down WE The People have followed all instructions given, closing down businesses, paying workers without income, clapping and lightening candle for the brave workers engaged in saving lives. I am reminded  of the speech of American President Kennedy who said “Don’t ask what America can do for you, ask what you can do for America?”  For India  the reverse is applicable “ Don’t ask what sacrifices public can make but ask what the government and lawmakers can give to the public, who  are losing lives, jobs and everything including HOPE”

In my earlier  write-up about Corona Virus , being a hopeless optimist, I presumed that this Pandemic will prove a blessing in disguise having proved the futility of power, possessions , wealth, religion and caste. The entire world faced the same challenges and lived in fear. Never  in the  world History such a situation was  ever seen.

But hopes of people like us will be dashed so soon was not anticipated and the disillusioned  public is getting confused  more and more. Since the mindset seems unchangeable and our judiciary, bureaucracy, media and all institutions  have reconciled and accepted the changed Preamble.  Once  WE THE PEOPLE  accept the new interpreted  version of  Preamble to Indian Constitution,  starting with WE THE VERY IMPORTANT PEOPLE, everything will be sorted out in the country.

I must confess my confusion about  how to end it – 

Jai Hind, Vande Matram  or Jai Sri Ram ?
