ABSTRACT

Indians have successfully ruled themselves against overwhelming obstacles for the short fifty years that they have had the throne. After recovering from the terrible distortion caused by the Emergency, the Constituent Assembly successfully woven a seamless web into the nation’s Constitution that established the spirit of democracy and institutions, sparked a social shift to improve the majority of Indians, and preserved and enhanced the nation’s unity and integrity. It is commonly known that each of its strands depends on the others in order to exist and grow. In particular, neither social revolution nor democracy should be pursued at the expense of the other. These were practically equivalent because of their interdependence.

Excessive pursuit of a specific strand or laxness toward another has resulted in, and many still do, serious web distortions that are a result of the nation’s conditions, culture, and human weakness. These are on the list of upcoming tasks for the nation. However, it is true that representative democracy is widely accepted and well-established, and that the Constitution has become, to use the words of a respected figure.  The nation is united and content in its unity. Many citizens have benefited from the social revolution, but it hasn’t gone nearly far enough. The meager attempts by the government and society’s ‘haves’ to extend liberty and social-economic reform to the ‘have-nots’ should be a source of national shame, as should the exploitation of elective and appointive position only for personal gain. Indians have learned that their government, like others, is not perfect and that they, like all other people, are sometimes bad at running their business.
