Constitution

The Steel Frame

At all times, the bureaucrat must remain connected to the ground and not allow her advice and decisions to be influenced by vested interests or political pressure. The Indian ship is too big for sudden course corrections. Each decision for major change has to be extensively and painstakingly discussed with all stakeholders. Only when a consensus is available should major changes be made.

Of the Constitution

In the course of the first 50 years of the life of the Constitution, it was amended 83 times and by January 2020 the total of amendments had reached 104. This indicates that the Constitution was finalised without having sufficient time, thought and homework or was a compromise document, and therefore had to be amended frequently
