The most powerful institutions in the world are based on ideas; powerful ideas that have been put on paper, like the Code of Hammurabi, the Magna Carta, or the American Declaration of Independence. And the most powerful set of ideas in India is the Constitution of India—not the legislature, not the judiciary, not the executive, not the majority, or the minority, neither the rural, nor the urban, not the rich, not the poor, neither facebookers, nor twitterers—only the Constitution of India. The idea of independent India is the fragrance emanating from the Constitution. It has my allegiance, trust and full faith.
