The Larger Picture
The media hype over controversial Government legislation is symptomatic of deeper and widespread
issues in Government. Government, not political parties. While the media and civil society endlessly
debate over the legislation- they are missing the forest for the trees.
Government has systematically curtailed individual liberties and freedoms over the years. The pace of
curtailment has been slow but consistent. Regardless of your religion, age, gender, profession and
political preference your right have been whittled and narrowed- not expanded. Even basic things like
being unable to walk in your own city owing to the lack of decent infrastructure and in some cases lack
of safety is nothing less than a subtle erosion of your basic liberties. We were conditioned to ignore the
petty annoyances of Government and put up with tantrums of elected officials only because they served
the needs of society that private individuals were unwilling or unable to address themselves. Hence, the
term “public servant".
In fact, our fore father insisted on a written Constitution (We did not inherit it from the British since
they have no written Constitution) to ensure that the citizens of India are protected from the over reach
and greed of a Government. It is my personal opinion that that our freedom struggle was not to unseat a
foreign oppressor but to declare a principle that is above any mortal power- the equality of each before
God.
The written Constitution obligates the Government to secure the divine rights of man and, most
importantly, places checks and balances on the Government to ensure that it does not oppress citizens
by impinging on their rights.
