Dear JGN,
I just want to share a thought with you. After studying religous books from various religions, I have come to conclusion that Indian Constitution is the best as far as the freedom, human rights, equlity, etc. are concerned. Most of our social problems will be solved if all Indian people give highest status to our constitution as that of given to various religous books like Manusmriti, Quran, Bible, etc. Thsi is due to the following reasons.
1. The constitution is bound by the Indian nationality only & is equal to all castes & religions.
2. Though it is bound by Indian nationality, it doesn't propagate hatred for other nationals.
3. The constitution can be reformed & upgraded as it is written by human beings for human beings.
4. The constitution talks about how to live in India in the existing life & doesn't assure or guide anything about getting a place in the Heaven or Hell after the death. Hence it is realistic.
5. An independednt learned judiciary system can always scrutinise the constitition which is in sharp contrast with the illiterate religious leaders giving judgements based upon the things written many centuries before.
6. As it is written by a bunch of learned people, there is no possibility of idolising the GOD or Profet or the book itself!
Religous fanatics are going to be the biggest obstacle in the growth of the country in the next two decades. Religous fanatics can be sidelined effectively from our path towards progress by doing this.
