Independent India

As Indians observe the 60th Anniversary of independence to day, it is heartening that the world community now understands in full what India means. There is United States of America (USA) at far end to literally give up its long distrust to the hearts and minds of Indian nation. Indo-US nuclear deal, better known as 123 Agreememt is a small token of new found American trust. It has not come in a flash. It has taken full 60 years to bloom. Our intent and purpose has been laboratory tested in full. Our patience and perseverence together with ingenuity has gone in background.We have near home china across our northern border, too, to come to terms, al beit not in full. There is Pakistan and Bangladesh, the two trunkated parts in the west and east to realize. There could be an umpteen number of cases where there is yet some problem spot. On the whole, the country has traveresed well to set and repose trust as a well meaning and responsible nation worth emolution.
Our pillars of pride include the "longest written constitution" that came into effect on 26th January 1950. It is supreme. The vagaries of political process can not affect it in any way. The power of the Indian court to review the legality of the law stands out as its impregnale armour.One could differ about its all time probity. One can ot yet deny its contribution in facilitaing democracy to flourish at the end of the day.
