Hi Ganesh:
BTW, it would be interesting to see the outcome of a
survey of MPs and MLAs, how many of them actually read
the constitution or have a hard copy of it!
*** While it is a very desirable knowledge, few would be
familiar.
One will also have to be able to understand the provisions.
*** A cursory look at the sixth schedule shows what
dictatorial powers
a non-elected, often a political patronage office holder,
can hold in Indian democracy. And imagine the dedication to democracy
of all those super-annuated light generals, ex-police officers and
secret-service spooks that hold the powers of governors in the
NE or Kashmir!
