  The Republic is essentially a Constitutional State.  While the Independence Day becomes an occasion to remember the great sacrifices our earlier generations had to undergo to get rid of the foreign yoke, the Republic Day is an occasion to remember the pangs of setting up the constitutional frame work which guarantees us protection, freedom and dignity in life.

Yet, I could feel some deep pain which I put in the Face book on Friday. What pains had you carried in your heart Sanjay That it gave way without even a notice. What pains you carried about the cadre, What pains you carried about your colleagues, What pains you carried over the deplorable spot we are in, Over your words not understood, over our effo
