I wish I had that wrath in my words, you know, like Nana Patekar, which could generate emotions of solidarity among religious people. I wish I could read a couplet at a gathering after which mob throws their weapon and embrace the differences among them.
I know it may sound like that my idea of unity comes from a dramatic scene of a Bollywood movie, but trust me I have read enough to build up on that.
When I read constitution for the first time it was just a subject in which I had to score well to sail comfortably through the year. It wasn’t that time or the next time when I watched a series on how it was made or also when I read it to clear competitive examinations. But my bad that I couldn’t clear any. And then it happened… I read it again. I felt the emotions which ran through this book. I read people who cheered for the Sovereign and the Democratic Republic. And how socialism and secularism runs through like a blood in this body of the constitution. I wish I had the courage that the makers of this constitution possessed. I wish to have that hero in me who could come out tearing his shirt and change the entire scenario.
But I guess I have nothing like that in me. So, what I can do is that I can offer my legal knowledge and whatever little expertise that I have in this field. I don’t know what else to do, I feel equally helpless and I have no idea how can I help other than this. May we all find peace.
