It is Time to Clean Up the Constitution's Obsolete Burdens
The New Indian Express Anantapur
|July 13, 2025
Let's have a moment of silence for two dearly departed words still haunting our Constitution: "secular" and "socialist".
These words were not part of the Constitution that emerged from Nehruvian idealism and Ambedkar's structural genius. They were smuggled in during the 42nd Amendment in 1976 at the height of Indira Gandhi's Emergency, when Parliament was her echo chamber. What should have been the republic's soul became its slogan board, rewritten by a state that had suspended its own conscience. Now RSS General Secretary Dattatreya Hosabale says: "Throw them out." The man has a point, but that is not wearing a colour which is a red rag to liberal bulls.
Secularism, we are told, means the state must be neutral towards all religions. It's an outright joke in India.
