India’s constitution

India must not think of its constitution as being set in stone but make amendments to it every 50 years so it keeps up with the changing times - otherwise it will become outdated like a religion set in the middle ages and refusing to change.

If India is to realise its full potential reservation must go.

It must have doctors, engineers, scientists who qualify on their merit and merit alone.

It is time to remove article 370. It is also time for a uniform civil code.

The powers of the judges need to be curtailed so that they do not interfere in matters they do not understand - otherwise they sometimes behave like a jack of all trades who has somewhere picked up how to wire a plug and so now thinks he is an electrician fully qualified to advise other electricians on how to fix problems with the air conditioning.
