The need for an overhaul of the Constitution has also been evidenced by the setting up of the National Commission to Review the Working of the Constitution (NCRWC) in 2000. Our Constitution has already been amended 101 times.
Our Constitution is not defined by individual words such as “socialism” or “secularism.” It is constituted by the text as a whole, by its structure, by the historical processes, movements, and debates that led to its framing. , writes Gautam Bhatia
The Constitution of India is dedicated to the ideas of Liberty, Equality and Fraternity. Any identification, beyond that of being ‘Indian' is not secular.
India continues with its pragmatic foreign policy. There is no need to vote differently from 128 countries on a sensitive matter. We have reason to be friendly with Israel and Arab countries. That tradition is continuing.
It was not expected of Modi government to vote against the US and Israel, especially since the prime minister paid a historic visit to Israel last July, forging a strong and durable India-Israel strategic relationship.

Dear Mr.Bashir,
In India, we don’t force a married woman to remove her mangalsutra, which is ‘mangal’ i.e. holy to her. We don’t force a woman to wear different clothes than what she is used to. We don’t shut her up when wants to speak to her own son in their own native language.
Perhaps these are par for the course in Pakistan, but not for us. After all, Pakistan is a country which forces its citizens to convert to Islam, it forcibly marries non Muslim girls to convert them, it terrorises girls to not attend school, it forces women to cover themselves with Hijab … is it any surprise you feel Indian’s are over-reacting over the treatment meted out to Jadhav’s mother and wife?
Do you even realise how stupid Pakistan sounds when it uses the word ‘humanitarian’? But given your nature and track record, maybe we were wrong to hope that you understand what the word means!
