It is Republic day celebration here in India. Editing this post again in 2023 ..without removing anything but only adding to it 🥰.

A wonderful Constitution that was meticulously drafted and debated over a period of two years and 4 months.

Thankful and grateful to the drafting committee and to my previous generations for having given their feedback on the Constitution. 🙏

The Constitution adaptation was from across the world….while a lot of people complain about the nativity of it and it still reeks of external influence on India, I personally see it as the ability of this beautiful country to learn from this universe, adapt and excel. All the more, proud of our India because it has been giving the due credit as and when it is required.

IMHO, Scrapping an existing breathing grundnorm is not a viable option. The provisions and structure that are against the fundamentals of our current social milieu can be amended and as a progressing nation, we can aim to excel and flourish further as a unit.

At the same time, addressing the wounds with equal representation and standing will pave the way for a much solid foundation. Scrapping mishaps under the carpet and pretending as if things never happened will not help repair the shortcomings as a team.

This can be in a family or in a nation, a platform to communicate within and not allow third parties to interject and hijack the situation is very essential. The requirement for every participant to come to the table with a mindset that would want them to stick together would be mandatory and they must have the creative freedom to ponder on the ways to do so.

If individual agendas exist, individual convenience exists, individual narrative exists, individual superiority exists, then stroking those individual egos would be all consuming and striking the common chord will be a distant dream.

And with all this our nation displays her glory and stands strong 💪. Salute and Pranams to this beautiful nation that has stood the test of so many factors. Prayers for the most beautiful future.

Happy Republic Day !!! Jai Hind :-)
