Don’t Rewrite The Constitution—Recommit to Secularism & Socialism

Democracy must not be merely a political form. It must become a social and moral order rooted in liberty, equality, and fraternity.

At the heart of India’s Constitution lies a sacred trinity—liberty, equality, and fraternity. Far from abstract ideals, they are the moral, legal, and emotional framework sustaining India’s diverse democracy. But today, they face existential threats—from communal violence and caste discrimination to economic disparity and linguistic hegemony. Recent reports show alarming trends: a surge in hate speech, communal riots, and institutional apathy toward caste-based injustices. In universities, places meant to uplift, marginalised students face systemic exclusion. Political majoritarianism is turning religion into a weapon, hollowing out secularism and weakening fraternity—the most neglected of the three ideals. Dr. B.R. Ambedkar warned that liberty and equality, without fraternity, are no deeper than coats of paint. The future of India depends on more than legal structures—it requires a citizenry that lives by these values. The choice before us is clear: constitutional conscience or constitutional collapse. Today’s story by S Vijayakrishna is a powerful reminder of why India’s constitutional values are of fundamental importance, especially in the face of majoritarianism.
