Friends, .
For the last 50 years, we in India have seen the dominance of two Intellectual traditions in our social and political circles -the .
Macaulayan and the Marxist. The first is symbolised by the liberal capitalist experience that the west has given to the world and the second is the antithesis of this experience which was experimented in the Soviet Union & China. With the collapse of the Soviet experiment and the turning of China from red to pink, there has been a talk about the end of Ideology or the end of history. But we know that, all is not woll with the World Capitalist System and Western Liberal Democracy has failed to fulfil the aspirations of most of the Afro·Asian Societies. The Nehruvian tradition in India tried a synthesis between the two but became a composite error. The Westminister model in India could not strike a chord with the Indian people, so much so, that politics has been reduced to caste and community vote banks. In India, the society has been more important than the state, but the Nehruvian experiment imposed a state from without which till now has not been able to reach our people. Secondly, secularism which is inherent in our culture and tradition -"Sarva pantha sama bhava" became an alibi for minorityism. 50 years of Congress rule failed to solve the real problems of the minorities, instead enunciated a policy of appeasement of the obscurantist and fundamentalist politics of a handful of religious leaders. Uniform Civil Code is a case in point. Thirdly. in the name of socialism, the creative genius of the Indian people was throttled and the .
license, permit and quota raj led to a low level of economic growth. In the realm of foreign policy, the wavering on the issue of Kashmir and Tibet cost us a lot and the Indian people cannot forget the wounds inflicted on us by Pakistan & China. .
It was In the fitness of things that the Nehruvian Consensus would come in for a review and the 90s have impeccably shown the collapse of this consensus. The alternative model that has emerged and gained wide acceptance is of cultural nationalism rooted in Swadeshi i.e. economic nationalism, pursuing a bold and independent foreign policy. This year we completed 50 years of our Republic and it was apt that we review the working of our constitution, Its strengths and weaknesses, its achievements and failures. But when a commission to review the constitution was set up, the Congress and the Left raised a hue and cry as If the BJP was out to strangulate our polity. Their quietness today leads us to believe that they have settled down to an acceptance. .
It is with the vision of a strong and effective state, as a powerful instrument of change in the social and political sphere, that we had underlined some important areas on which constitutional Review was imperative; .
.
Adoption of the right to work. right to education and right to information as fundamental rights. .
.
.
Provisions of stability of the Central Govt. to be enshrined. .
.
.
Evolving a decentralised polity by reviewing centre-state relations. .
.
.
Safeguards against the use of Art-356. .
.
.
Electoral reforms. .
.
.
Establishment of a Judicial Commission for judicial appointments. .
.
.
The left and the NSUI had shown their negativist and parochial politics on this vital issue of national importance. Another important issue where the SFI and the NSUI and their parent organisations have betrayed our people is the Issue of our Nuclear and Foreign Polley. Pokhran-11 was an assertion of India's self-esteem. Pokhran·ll was also an end to the Adhocism of Foreign Policy of the Congress. Pokhran-11 symbolised India's declaration to the world that it would not compromise an Inch when our national security interests are involved. Our way to a credible and minimum nuclear deterrent and the growth of our economic power places India as a potential global player at the threshold of a new millennium. ABVP appeals to you to assert yourself against the reactionary and negativist politics of the Centre-Left and give a clear mandata to the nationalist forces In the coming elections. .
