We the people

Do you remember when the last time you went through the Preamble of our Constitution was? I really won’t be amazed if you don’t. I, for one, do not believe in the Preamble at all. It is indeed a shame that a young Indian, such as me, does not believe in what its constitution stands by. I will certainly explain as to why I do not believe in the Preamble.
Spare a few moments, from your shopping sprees, parties or whatever; and Google search the Preamble, the first thing that comes to notice ‘WE, THE PEOPLE OF INDIA’. Which ‘we’ are we talking about here? The ‘we’ who believe that westernisation is the youth cult; or the ‘we’ who believe that being urban means to forget our roots?
Sovereign...the term, perhaps, the only one which is still relatively meaningful. But are we, the people, really happy with it??
Socialist, it’s a debatable issue...and perhaps the debate will continue, for who has the time or the patience to listen to what someone else has to say.
Secular, yes that will explain the communal conflict India witnesses quite often.
The Jessica Lal Murder Case would certainly be enough to redefine the word justice mentioned in our Preamble.
Liberty, that’s why every time someone speaks the truth, he or she is asked to explain the reasons for the statement...Liberty isn’t it?
The funniest of them all is the term Equality; that’s why more than 35% of our population is below the Poverty Line.
We speak of Fraternity, and the same ‘we’ do not care to help a person who lies injured on the road.
Now do I justify my indifference towards the Preamble? I am not criticizing anyone or anything, all I am trying to say is make an effort to at least stand by a few attributes of the Preamble and maybe then we would proudly be able to say... WE THE PEOPLE OF INDIA
