A most excellent proposal. However, I can see why that won't work. There are too many "cultures" and "areas" where individual freedoms and rights are oppressed not only by the state, but also by local society. Hence, though my heart aches with the burning desire to support this concept, I can just see the dangers that ride with it. In societies such as India, where honor killings are not only condoned, but often endorsed and instigated by the older members of a society, combined with India's dangerous tradition of unquestioningly obeying one's elders, such situations where progress is halted in the name of conserving culture would be inevitable.

Everything said and done, it has come to a point where I often feel that the Supreme Court of India is our only hope of fairness and progress. Indeed, sometimes I catch myself thinking of it as the literal house of justice. And, though, sometimes it speaks too late, and sometimes it doesn't speak loud enough, the conscience of the Court  reverberates with the words of the constitution, which is, in fact, the real saving grace of the Indian Nation (Not in the avatar of the State, however); regardless of whether its completely compiled or debated on for years, the Constitution of India is an epic document, length and detail set aside.

In fact, the length and detail is probably what made the Constitution the heart of our country's existence. Those stupid decisions and policies may be the result of an unhealthy mind, or a mind plagued by unhealthy thoughts, but the heart is what keeps one alive, cleansing the blood in order to pump it through the system again, always consistent. Always dependable. And, when it stops working, you may as well die. Because you will. Regardless of how smart you may be.
