Watch out - for posts on Federalism and Free Speech in India


Tomorrow is the birth anniversary of Babasaheb B.R. Ambedkar, considered to be the ‘main’ architect of the Constitution of India.  An appropriate occasion to celebrate his and his comrades' wisdom as envisaged in the Constitution and as we, the people, have come to interpret it.

Tomorrow  Soon, I am going to concentrate on the bogey of Federalism raised by the principal national opposition party, the BJP, and other regional parties and satraps, and whether it tunes with the ideas of our founding fathers.

Tomorrow soon, I am also going to give a blast on today’s act by the West Bengal government in arresting an University professor, after being allegedly thrashed by ruling party goons, for forwarding a ‘chain mail’ cartoon, a satire on Mamata Banerjee, the current Chief Minister of West Bengal; a woman who managed to unseat the ~40 year rule by the world’s only democratically elected Communist government; a woman who now seems to impress draconian rules against freedom of speech, which even the Communists didn’t dare to do.

If I am not myself put into hindrance in the meantime, watch out for these tomorrow’s posts, which should clarify the positions as envisaged in the Constitution of India.
