RE:Attn JGN

Dear Arjun, JGN and Rehana,

Your comments are interesting.

I wish you had restricted yourselves to the point, that is the Constitution of India instead of bringing into picture other items such as Gulliver's Travels, Aesop's Fables, Panchatantra or Mulla Naziruddin Stories & other religious books. Since we are on the topic, without meaning anything bad (or good) to anyone, let me make my points here:

A person's knowledge is as much as or less than what he acquires during his lifetime. Unless one has read or understood the meaning of scriptures or the stories under discussion, one really can not comment on them. For example, how many of you have read the great Srimad Bhagavadgita, esp chapters 2, 3, 4 & 14 to 18? In chapter 2, the Lord describes the qualities of a person with unwavering mind. In chapter 16, the Lord describes the qualities of a person with demoniac qualities. The living example of such a person (there are many) is the great HDD Gowda. For them, Constitution has no meaning. Self interest in the only thing they are interested in. Mind you, such qualities were described 1000s of years ago by the wise people with vision. Aesop's fables are an easy way to understand what life is. Similarly Panchatantra stories give us the gist of how to conduct in life. If one can follow the gist of these fables, we do not need any constitution!!

Constitution is nothing but gist of all these. It is better to restrict to what you uphold instead of looking down upon others.
