PM Modi struck the right note on Constitution Day. But Constitution isn’t a deity to bow to and move on. It’s a living guide for liberty, governance. Its letter matters only if followed in spirit. Regrettably, institutions meant to ensure this are faltering. On this sobering thought, happy Constitution Day.
