WE ARE DESTINED TO LIVE UNDER SUFFOCATION
Dr k prabhakar Rap
No doubt Jawaharlal Nehru made a mockery of Constitution by amending it giving wide powers to govt to curb citizens rights immediately after the Constitution was implemented. the govt was finding difficult to function owing to court directives on several matters.these amendments later helped Indira Gandhi to cancel privy purses of formers princes and kings who acceded to India after 1947 at the call of Patel. junagad and Hyderabad state were trouble makers and had to be forced by military might. Nationalisation of banks was also possible due to eroded Constitution. the emergency was imposed by Mrs Gandhi and mas, arrests were made curbing fundamental rights too heralding the rise of a black and dark state. Karan thapar in jiscarticle in DC recently drew attention to various draconian laws that govts made from time to time effects of which the nation is experiencing even now. just think how Arnab goswMi was arrested and imprisoned refusing even bail by a Maharashtra court. such things take place because the political leaders in chair feel they are dictators and can do anything.IfMr Nehru has goofed up the Constitution as stated can we undo now? though possible due to the great majority of present govt, it will not be done as the changes are great boon to rulers. so we have to accept and live with sword hanging on the head for Eternity.
