Constitution can be amended, constitution can be rewritten, constitution can be written in favour of a community or religion, constitution can do injustice to a person or a community, constitution is not gods words, it is written by human beings according to their whims and fancies, hence I only have faith and loyalty to bagavath geetha, the words of god himself.
