THE INDIAN CONSTITUTION


Posting one of my old articles published in the National Journal of Homoeopathy in Jan 2010 issue. Many might have read it on my notes on the facebook page. Thought of re-posting it on the occasion of the Republic day. Some juvenile write-up for fun, enjoy and of course HAPPY REPUBLIC DAY TO ALL!!


THE INDIAN CONSTITUTION.


The constitution of India though formally lately formed, is deep rooted and ancient.

KINGDOM....... Belonged to the “British Kingdom” once upon a time and had to struggle to find its own place in history.

PROVING....... India stood the test of time and had to ‘prove’ itself time and again, before the world could take its cognizance and acknowledged its presence.

INTRODUCTION..... Now it certainly needs no introduction! Once upon a time a land of ‘serpents’ ‘sadhus’ and ‘spices’ has come to be known as the land of ‘space-crafts’, ‘software solutions’ and ‘cyberspace’…………. India has certainly arrived!!

MODE OF ACTION......The ‘mode of action’ suddenly seems to be drifting from recognition deprived , tolerant behavior of ‘magnesium’ to the assertive drive of ‘now’ of ‘lycopodium’.

SPHERES OF ACTION........Very few countries can boast of such wide ‘spheres of action’ as that of India. Right from computer-ports to sports, knowledge to tech-(k)nology, and culture to agri-culture, India is shining.

EVOLUTION...........A country that was 'evolving'for a long period time, at a ‘slow pace’ has suddenly gained momentum. Even as the whole world sleeps, India is behind the screens, on its tips to make the most of time advantage.

From the ‘grit-laden’ ‘Silician’ age of Aryans, to the gold cast ‘Aurum’ era of being called the golden sparrow, from the ‘vice’ and ‘spice’ indulgent ‘Nux’ era, to the laid back ignorance ofCarbo-veg, India has come a long, long way.It witnessed an ‘indignant’ response of ‘non-violence’, ‘non co-operation’ of ‘Staphysagria’ and ‘rebellious’ opposition to ‘injustice’, fight for the right of ‘Natrum’, especially so in braking the 'salt’ rules. It saw the steely ‘Metallicdetermination of defense to form an army within the army. It also obeyed the ‘philosophical’ and ‘spiritual’ grounding of ‘Sulphur’ much needed during the turbulent times.
Just as the whole world slept, India woke up to a new dawn of existence. The gasps of free-air were stifling though, what with the ‘grief’ of ‘parting’ with the ‘loved-ones suffocating the country.An ailments from which India still suffers to this day.

A constitution that was robust in the north-west, had ‘marasmussed’ into a lean and thin nation.The supposedly teething problems of poverty, population explosion lasted too long .The milestones of food ,water and electricity to all were very delayed.The milestones of the good roads are yet to arrive!! . India continued to develop albeit at a slower pace thriving on ‘doodh-ganga’ and vitamin-m from wheat and cotton.


GENERALS Generally speaking India has been

Hot and ‘Happenning’ever since its inception.

Being cold to the happenings around has never been India’s TEMPERAMENT

Siding the RIGHT is a matter of virtue for India

Its CRAVING for ‘spice’ and ‘salt’ has attracted the world market now .

AVERSION to ‘bitterness’ be it of ‘thought’, ‘taste’ or ‘tongue’, is

something that India never really developed preference for.

Its UNQUENCHABLE THIRST for knowledge is unparalleled. Being recognized

as the Oxford of the east, it is becoming a major educational hub.

‘THE SWEAT OF THE BROW' is almost unheard of, what with the laid-back attitude?

But yes it does PERSPIRE UNDER THE COLLAR when the news of neighboring ‘nukes’

leaks out!!

Indians and SLEEP are an equation. It has had a long sleep of 150 or odd years and

not very peaceful one.

MIND Finally what does one say of the Indian MINDSET?!

No other constitution in the world has had such a heady combination of ‘INTELLECT’ and ‘EMOTIONS.’If world had to delete Indians from their intellectual property, it would reduce to half. Lacking in ‘WILL’ it never has thought twice before taking ‘MOTIVATION’ from others. Persistence and endurance have been India’s ‘DRIVE’ which keeps world`s trust in ‘also-rans’. Discovering and placing a value on Zero, India has always remained a minimalist. An attitude according to some could well be in tune with India`s laid back attitude.

Emotions have been India`s biggest strength and virtue. World humbles at its ‘philosophical’ and ‘spiritual’ bent. In crisis when in need of comprehensive thinking, world has always backed upon India. Tolerance, understanding and acceptance are the qualities that Indians are born with than taught, though at times they have proved to be more of liabilities than assets. Hopeless dreamers (day) that Indians are, have dreamt of being the ‘numero-uno’. To realize this dream India is forming ‘complimentary’ relations with the ‘mighty’ constitutions. The neighboring ‘inimical’ relations are best ignored. Will ignorance prove to be the best antidote?! Do not know only time can tell,but Indian constitution definately needs a prescription for action. With auxillary line of implimentation of rules and follow up on infrastructure,India can go a long way!

All in all now is the time for the world where India ‘matters’ the most, and we as indians certainly do not ‘mind’ that.
