We culled the best from global socio-political wisdom to painstakingly evolve our Constitution. It stands out as the gleaming tusks of ivory of a magnificent and caparisoned elephant. But then we have the business teeth too inside,in the form of laws, ordinances and fiats that often ruthlessly trespass the citizen's rights.An idealist younger generation that goes by the ivory was sanguine over its guaranteed rights.It is to the credit of this generation that now demands that the Constitution be respected and that there can be no two ways to interpret its basic tenets and postulates.An overworked judiciary has yet again stressed on the need to bestow greater regard and attention to the written undertaking that " We the people' have given unto ourselves.The government must realise that it is as much the custodian of people's trust ,as the courts.
