Very recently, Hon. Mr. Surjeet Singh Barnala has brought a very valuable point in his speech about the need for the rewriting of the Indian constitution. I would appreciate if we could discuss this issue. Following are my views:
Yes, our constitution should need a renewed thought. Hon. Babha Saheb Ambedkar had done an excellent job by fulfilling the needs of the post independence government. Days have changed (please see the quotes given below). All the wise men in our country should sit together and yet find another wise man for the right job like 'Thomas Jefferson', one of the great American thinkers by whom now America has the best democracy in the world. Our British born constitution is good through a small and an elite British society but such system in India ended up in blackmailing, frequent instability, corruption, and could not avoid criminals entering in to the power. If we look for prosperity in India it is not too late that we shift to American type democracy hence direct presidential election.
All the lovers of democracy and even the Greeks could have never realized and probably would have admired the wisdom, statesmanship and the articulation of (May I call, sir coz he deserves) Thomas Jafferson. To the best of my knowledge no one ever spent all his earnings on collecting a huge quantity of books around the world, studied, thought, and put the best together for a more closer to perfect constitution like sir, Thomas Jerfferson. Just keep him in mind if someone wants to rewrite the constitution. Below are three quotes from him. Of course you may find thousands of them elsewhere!
-------------------------------------------------
'All human constitutions are subject to corruption and must perish unless they are timely renewed and reduced to their first principles.' --Thomas Jefferson
'I am certainly not an advocate for frequent and untried changes in laws and constitutions. I think moderate imperfections had better be borne with; because, when once known, we accommodate ourselves to them and find practical means of correcting their ill effects. But I know also that laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths disclosed and manners and opinions change with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also and keep pace with the times.' --Thomas Jefferson
'We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors.' --Thomas Jefferson
