Hail Republic of India The dreams of Indians are enshrined in the document called Constitution It is a guide as to how India will be governed and spells our rights and duties of every citizen specially the Executive .Judiciary and Legislature With passage of time and selfish interests these borders of separation are getting blurred.Interpretation of this document is bone of contention attempting not only to usurp and abrogate power to misuse it. Emergency has been cited as a classical example to undermine Constitution.But in recent times much worse is in vogue without using the word emergency One wonders whether the age old wisdom Govt of the people for the People by the people is substituted by Govt of politicians by politicians for politicians In the independent India politicians are the reigning King's akin to pre Independent India.India has made rapid strides since then but even now drinking water ,Health ,Education, housing, food and clothing the basic necessities are a far cry waiting to be aressed as basic priorities. On the other hands our politicians are fannig their own nest with all facilities, perks ,. luxuries and even pensions for a day in office Pay as emoluments not subject to tax and exceeding many times limit of exemption permitted by income tax act India of today is built by sweat and brow of all Indians irrespective of caste and creed , except those traitors who stayed aloof but now claim a piece of cake with gross indifference of activecparticipation in freedom strufggle Indifference , isolation , revenge, hatred imputing motives to tear apart secular fabric and target specific communities will never complete the dream of secular India as was envisaged by our forefathers The poor are increasing and rich are on the top of pyramid of wealth and prosperity People are being fed with slogan diet and rosy economic status but unemployment , women security are poor indicators.The priorities are temples building of monuments. Vistas and statues at an enormous cost to the exchequer Much has been done but much more remains to be done Promises and speeches glorifying Republic will not feed those that are marginalised The price escalation of food .petrol gas etc is breaking back of the poor The rights of liberty , free speech etc are slowly eroded.Once the sacred vote is cast it is free for all that appears to be democracy of future.The brute majority may lead to more curbs and eventuality may transform Democracy to another level Nelson Lopes Chinchinim
