Who called chief architect of Indian Constitution to Dr BR Ambedkar?

 

Internal Democracy

RECENTLY, 12 opposition groups in India rallied in extraordinary solidarity to fully support the call by the Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) farmers' union for a nationwide protest to mark six months of protests this week. It was an organizational game. There was electricity, medical facilities, food supply, bathing facilities, sleeping and counting. An old saying goes that no one living near Sikh gurdwara will go hungry. Langar takes care of everything regardless of religious differences.

 

They have successfully fulfilled the government's expectation that, if ignored, they will pack up. They didn't. It was a remarkable career and they followed the guidelines of Covid, a lesson in political parties.

 

Among the 12 political parties are the Sonia Gandhi Congress, the Thinamool Congress of Mamata Banerjee and the Nationalist Congress of Sharad Pawar. There was no Mayawati of the UP. A joint statement issued by senior leaders of some of these groups said, "The central government must stop the unrest and start negotiations with SKM immediately." On May 12, opposition leaders had jointly written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi demanding that farm rules be repealed.

 

Political parties in India have failed constitutionally.

 

The church has a long history in politics, said British Prime Minister Harold Wilson. Uttar Pradesh elections are expected next year; National elections will be held in 2024. Mayawati has given sufficient notice that his support relies on non-policy matters. And it is not certain that others will keep their word. Team unity is a long-term dream. The internal situation of the groups creates instantaneous discomfort. Shiv Sena is a family problem of the son of its founder Uddhav Thackeray, the prime minister of Maharashtra. Sharad Pawar calls out his song. Congress policies are Sonia Gandhi's well-kept secret. His Congress in particular is a one-man show. He is determined to make his son Rahul his successor. Partymen, block a few stocks, you disagree.

 

While the voters' meeting was finishing its work, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, chairman of the writing committee, spoke frankly in 1949, stating that “no matter how good the constitution is, it will definitely get worse because those who are called to work are bad. No matter how bad the constitution is, it can turn out to be good if those who are called to work become more positive. The effectiveness of the constitution is not entirely dependent on the nature of the constitution. The constitution can only give organs of state such as the legislature, authorities and the judiciary. The factors that apply to those organs of state are the people and political parties that they will establish as their own objects of interest and their own political affiliations. Who can say how the people of India and their groups will behave? ”

 

It is now 70 years since the constitution took effect. He would be a brave man who could not say that political parties should act in accordance with Ambedkar's expectations. The political system did not live up to the requirements of the constitutional system. It is not a failed constitution. It is the political parties and politicians who have failed in the constitution.

 

Self-esteem is too late. Indians need to prepare political parties for the constitution. A democratic constitution cannot be implemented by non-democratic parties. Further, the ruling party, Congress, has not yet held its own party elections. There are no signs to do this anytime soon. Promises have been made several times in recent months but have been broken many times.

 

In 1980, the then chief electoral commissioner S. Shakdhar said “political parties make strong demands for the administration of free and fair elections in the legislature, but choose to ignore the application of the same principles when it comes to the functioning of their party organizations. It was revealed before me… that the parties did not follow their own principles. They have no party selection. They work for years in a certain way. ”Later, he presented his report in the 1980 general election to parliament, citing three major shortcomings. One was that even the basic observance of constitutional provisions did not exist; the second was the failure to hold party elections, and the last was about a lack of accountability in the general membership. This disability in groups is still ongoing.

 

In a democracy in Parliament, it is very important that there are strong, well-organized parties that have roots in the people because the government of Parliament is heavily supported in conferences. The best punishment for keeping the agreements by the ruling party is the political check of the opposition parties. A good guarantee of the maintenance of democratic processes by the ruling party is its democratic status.

Beyond Binaries: Rethinking the legacy of Nehru, an outstanding mediator in independent India

Much has been said about the fascination with the world and the scientific spirit of the first Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, who died on May 27, 1964.

 

On his 57th day of death — which comes at an extremely divisive time — it is important not only to see Nehru's commitment to his beliefs but also to his ability to reach out to those with whom he has never shared his views.

In 2021, this is less important than Nehru's other major benefits: his contribution to the Indian state, to the pursuit of higher education and the building of democratic institutions.

 

As Nehru, with a handful of people who take the belief among the masses, rekindled and remembered by the open and left-handed views of the country - and much to the dismay of many on the right - his ability to find effective interdependence between the opposition is rarely mentioned.

 

There are several examples of Nehru's ability.

 

Reconciliation

 

Those who see him as a man representing a science fiction should not only refer to his excellent dissertation of Discovery of India but also address his address at Banaras Hindu University in memory of its founder Madan Mohan Malaviya, after his death.

 

An educated view in India tends to believe that Nehru and Malaviya were contradictory: Nehru is a national socialist and a conservative Hindu Levite. When Nehru criticized the Muslim League and the Hindu Mahasabha in colonial times, Malaviya was the leader of Congress and the Hindu Mahasabha for decades.

 

However, the aforementioned statement in BHU - a rich tribute to Malawi — highlights the power of Prime Minister Nehru, who rode on a grand scale, to see more clearly the power of those who disagree with him.

 

Nehru said in his speech Malaviya belongs to a generation where a few educated people in India are western and even imitate everything western. “Malaviyaji therefore drew our attention to the need to make only the best imbizos from the West and at the same time to adhere to the precious heritage of Indian culture. He had a thorough knowledge of European cultures and the English language. He had a deep respect for Western science, ”says Nehru. “…. So somehow what he wanted to do was to link European science with Indian culture, the new Western industrial civilization and our ancient culture. This is exactly what we are trying to do today. ”

 

He added, “He was a perfect example of all that is good in our culture, which is a soft heart and consistent values, his ability to build rather than destroy, and to build a connection between opposing ideas. The line of judgment for any great man is whether he is the builder or the destroyer. This is especially true in India where the tendency to be careless is very strong, even if the leader tries to unite or divide he gains great value. ”

 

These were not mere words. Nehru really lived by them.

 

The first Nehru government had two critics of his party, Congress, as minister: Hindutva leader Syama Prasad Mookerjee and Drs. BR Ambedkar, who criticized Congress for its use of the Dalits.

 

Former Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee will recall how Nehru as a prominent Indian leader could appreciate his speech in Lok Sabha even though Vajpayee was a young politician from Jana Sangh, a party that not only opposed Congress but had less than five seats in Congress. Nehru even was kind enough to a rival who had very little ideas about his age and status to introduce him to Nikita Kruschev as India's future Prime Minister.

 

While Nehru set aside Purushottam Das Tandon after independence - for what he saw as Tandon's political system of government - to govern Congress, the Nehru Congress had conservative Hindu leaders as prime ministers in northern and central India. However, he would make the point that he would not only contact the Prime Ministers but also arrive at a violent country to ensure the safety of a few, often in the face of public violence.

 

Earlier, following in the footsteps of his adviser Gandhi, Nehru became embroiled in a post-independence uprising in Delhi when he personally fomented a mob attacking a Muslim man, causing the mob to flee when they saw the outraged Prime Minister. .

 

These personal measures, however, did not imply a witch hunt for those who disagreed with her or her beliefs.

 

Science and culture

 

The same quest for reconciliation informs Nehru's approach to knowledge. He is credited with fostering the wrath of science and setting up many of India's top institutions such as IIT first, IIM and AIIMS. However, this scientific outburst did not cause him to dismiss the so-called “scientific” as pure myths and falsehoods, as did many educated, arrogant people, decades later.

 

"Most of the myths and stories of heroism in pregnancy and teach adherence to the truth ... Sometimes a story is a pure myth, or at least a mixture of fact and fiction, an exaggerated narrative of a cultural event," Nehru told The Indian Discovery. "Facts and myths are so intertwined that they are inseparable, and this amalgam becomes a fictional story, which may not tell us exactly what happened but what is equally important - what people believe to have happened, what they think heroic ancestors knew, and what good principles inspired them. whether it is a fact or a myth, it became a living thing in their lives, taking them from the hardships and evils of their daily lives to higher places, always pointing the way to hard work and a good life… ”

 

In today's debate over history and mythology, or the fury of science and the slightest weakness, Nehru's great reconciliation could perhaps move things further.

India's internal democracy

In a democracy in Parliament, it is very important that there are strong, well-organized parties that have roots in the people because the parliamentary government is very much supported by the conference, writes AG Noorani

Sharad Pawar calls out his song. Congress policies are Sonia Gandhi's well-kept secret. His Congress in particular is a one-man show. He is determined to make his son Rahul his successor. The men at the party, blocking a few channels, disagreed.

 

At the end of the conference, Dr BR Ambedkar, chairman of the drafting committee, made it clear in 1949 that 'no matter how good the constitution is, it will definitely get worse because those who are called upon to do so may be worse off. No matter how bad the constitution is, it can turn out to be good if those who are called to work become more positive. The effectiveness of the constitution is not entirely dependent on the nature of the constitution.

It is now 70 years since the constitution took effect. He would be a brave man who could not say that political parties should act in accordance with Ambedkar's expectations.
