Birth and Boyhood:The Servant of God Devasahayam was born in 1712. By birth he was a Hindu. and his name was Neelam (Nilam), also expanded as Nilakandan. He belonged to the royal Nair caste and therefore he is also pupularly known as Devasahayam Pillai. As a boy, he learnt Sanskrit and had traditional training in martial arts.Youth and Marriage:Nilam was brought up as a devout Hindu. Besides Tamil and Malayalam, the languages of people, he also trained himself in archery, Varmasastra and the use of weapons of war. He was made an official at royal court at Padmanabhapuram. He was respected for the sincerity of his person and firmness of mind, which made him dear to his colleagues and to the King Marthanda Varma. He married Bargaviammal of Mekkod, a neighbouring village.Conversion and Baptism:In performing his duties as a palace official, Neelam Pillai came in contact with a Catholic officer, Eustachius Benedictus De Lannoy, a Dutch military officer, arrested by King Marthandavarma after the Dutch were defeated at war at the Port of Colachel in 1741.At a particular stage of their relationship Nilakanda Pillai was found to be extremely unhappy and saddened. When De Lannoy enquired about the reasons for his sadness he narrated a series of tragedies that had overtaken his family. His bulls had died one after another and crops had failed, which meant tremendous financial loss for him and there was no way out of his sadness.On hearing all this, De Lannoy narrated to him the Old Testament story of Job and demonstrated how God tested the faith of a good man through sufferings. Finding De Lannoy's explanation reasonable and convincing, Nilakanda Pillai expressed his desire to become a Christian and requested De Lannoy to instruct him for baptism. De Lannoy sent him to Vadakkankulam, a hamlet outside the limits of the Kingdom of Travancore, with a letter to Fr. Giovanni Baptista Buttari,, a Jesuit Missionary, requesting him to baptize Nilakandan.Fearing that Baptism would spell suffering and persecution, Fr. Buttari hesitated for some time to baptize him. Fr. Buttari examined his past life in order to instruct him and to test the maturity of his decision and the depth of his conviction in the Catholic faith.This instruction continued for nine months. Finally, moved by the persistence of Nilakanda Pillai he baptized him at the church of the Holy Family, Vadakkankulam on 14 May 1745. At baptism the Servant of God was given the name "Devasahayam" which is a Tamil rendering of the biblical name Lazar, which means "God has helped".Life after Baptism:Having joined the Catholic community, Devasahayam himself started exhorting others to receive Baptism and even converted some to Christian faith, one of them being his own wife who took the name "Gnanapu" which is a Tamil rendering of "Theresa".In his personal life, the neophyte Devasahayam mixed and mingled with people of all statuses and castes. Because of his newly found faith he disregarded caste distinction, threw away the symbols of his "high" caste, ate and lived with people of "low" birth and came to the palace-office as a "polluted" person. Noticing the marked changes in Devasahayam because of his Christian life, the high caste people accused him of the crime of betrayal and contempt of religious practices and of insult of gods, of the Brahmins and the royal throne.Tested for faith:Some Brahmins and court officials tried their best to woo the Servant of God back from his newly won Christian faith. But the Servant of God showed great fortitude in expressing firmness of faith and even daringly declared that he was willing to be tortured or even to be put to death for Christ.Persecuted for faith:The King, having been incited against Christians, arrested Devasahayam on 23 Feb. 1749 and put him in a very narrow prison. Soon condemned to death by the King, he was tortured in several ways. He was paraded to many towns and villages, both hands bound behind his back, seated on a buffalo facing backward, garlanded with Erukku flowers as a symbol of shame.Some Miraculous events: The Servant of God was brought through a small place called Puliurkurichy where overcome by thirst he planted his elbow on a rock, which gave forth water which he could drink. This rock continues to give water even today and People visit this fountain in large numbers.Through Puliurkurichy the soldiers brought him to Peruvilai and detained him there for about 7 months tied to a neem tree. It is there that Devasahayam became friendly with the soldiers and was helped to meet the Catholic priests. He received Holy Communion from these priests. Thanks to Devasahayam's prayer, the jailor (executioner) who was without child for a long time obtained a child.From Peruvilai he was taken to the prison at Aralvaimozhi where the condemned criminals were sent for death by the King. It was on the border between the kingdoms of Madurai and Travancore.His life during years of torture:During the years of his arrest and torture, the Servant of God led a life worthy of a candidate for martyrdom. Every morning and night he spent certain time for contemplative prayer, and often during the day he turned to God in moments of brief prayer. He spent time also in reading books on lives of saints, and when people were around, he read them aloud for people to hear. He fasted on all Fridays and Saturdays in honour of the death of Christ and of Mary, the Mother of God.When a priest visited him, usually at the dead of night, he confessed his sins and received holy Eucharist with utmost devotion. The priests were impressed by the joy and consolation that the Servant of God experienced.Killed for Faith:Devasahayam had to be killed quickly and secretly because Catholics started visiting the Servant of God in large numbers. The Government officials kept secret the place and the date of his execution for fears of popular unrest. Finally a little before the midnight of January 14, 1752 they took him to the place of execution. As he was totally exhausted and was unable to walk he was carried to the nearby hill called Kattadimalai. There he knelt and prayed for a while intensely. The marks left by his knees and elbows can still be seen today. Then he was shot dead by the soldiers with five leaden bullets, at midnight between 14 and 15 January 1752.Burial:His body was thrown in between rocks and left there to be eaten by wild animals. His mortal remains were discovered by the Christians and buried in front of the main altar in the most important church of St. Francis Xavier, which is the present Cathedral of the Diocese of Kottar. While laypersons are not usually buried within a church, it is significant that the Servant of God lies buried in a most revered church, a fact that attests to the regard that the faithful and the clergy had towards his sanctity and towards the greatness of his martyrdom. Devotion to the Servant of GodEver since the death of the Servant of God, a lot of people, irrespective of caste or religion, started to visit the place of his death and prayed to him for favours. Soon a small church was constructed at Kattadimalai and was dedicated to Our Lady of Sorrows, in remembrance of his heroic death for Faith. The life of Devasahayam is being acted out in dramas, sung out in Villupattu and narrated in folklore. Thus the message of his life and death and devotion to him spread throughout Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Considering the Servant of God as a saint, several people began to name themselves as Devasahayam and this practice continues to this day.

MEMORANDUM SUBMITTED BY PARTY WORKER FROM KALYAN WEST ASSEMBLY CONSTITUENCY NO. 138 TO BSP, MAHARASHTRA, ON THE BIRTH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIONS OF ITS FOUNDER MANYAWAR KANSHIRAM ON 15-03-2011.
ELECTIONS IN INDIA
1. What is an election in India ? As you know, Election in India is a big Business. The bigger the business Political Party in India, the sure the chances of winning the Election. Money is clandestinely invested by Political Parties towards Election expenses with a view to mint money after winning the Election. Of-course the loosing Political Party will not be able amass that much wealth as the winning Party can do. That is the prime reason why almost all Political Parties in India make strenuous attempts at horse trading right from the time of making alliances with other Parties, Seat Sharing, Selection of Constituencies, Distribution of Port Folios, fighting for plum Posts under the ruling Governments - whether in States or at the Centre (Union). The main aim is to somehow win the Election by hook or crook..
2. Apart from the Political Party employing their unaccounted and black money and wealth towards the Election Expenditure and outlay, there are big Business Houses, Mult-National Companies, even unseen Foreign Forces and big Businessmen ever ready directly or indirectly to support and help, from behind the scenes, to employ their unaccounted and black Assets, Wealth and Money through the medium of Elections. These Business Houses, Mult-National Companies, the Foreign Forces, big Businessmen and Political Parties primarily aim to make Black Money into White Money. Huge expenditure outlay of these Big business houses and Businessmen is incurred through the Political Parties in India except BSP, as a quid pro quo. BSP does not take political contributions from big Business Houses and Businessmen so as not to come under any sort of obligations to them after winning the Election. The consideration for the black money, assets and wealth traded, bartered or spent through the medium of Election in India is with a tacit understanding that once a particular contesting Political Party wins the Election and comes into Power, it can make the said Business houses and Businessmen totally free and independent to indulge in all or any sorts of illegal and inhuman activities and to increase the prices of their wares, merchandise, products or commodities to any extent that will not be questioned by their Political Bosses. This is one of the main reasons for sky-rocketing of prices of certain commodities of daily consumption by ordinary common men in the country. The prices of the products produced and services rendered mainly by these Big Business houses and Businessmen are always raised. Thus, inflation which is artificially pushed up, will never be able to be controlled by the Ruling Party of the day. The situation arising out of the above scenario, is totally and completely harmful to the interests of the Nation as well as its common citizens.
3. It is correctly said that after Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar completed the marathon task of preparing the Constitution, Acharya Kriplani met him one day, and asked him, as to why he was very glad ?. Acharya Kriplani said perhaps you are very happy that you have given equal voting rights under the Constitution to all the citizens of India i. e. right to caste one vote to a multi-millionaire and one vote to an economically vulnerable poor beggar on the street. But if we purchase the vote of the poor man during Election, what you will do ? Dr. Babasaheb replied that when the people of the country are educated, they will become aware of the true values of their votes, and then they will never sell their votes for money. Money Power is utilized for buying out votes during Election times. More the money spent, the greater the chances in winning the Election. After spending the money and after winning the election, efforts will be not to serve the Nation and its citizens but merely to accumulate more and more money, either in the form of Black money or white money by indulging in the parasite of Corruption. It’s the simple logic is to make good or compensate for the amount already expended by the Party for winning the Election with the help of Media, be it Electronic Media, Digital or Print Media. The Media is one of the main culprits and mainly works for the Party which pays them. BSP does not believe in cheap publicity. The Media therefore does not high light the good works of BSP. BSP is not in a position and does not pay for the advertisements needed to highlight its good works in the Media or Press. More often than not, the functionaries of the winner Political Party remain busy to continuously work to enrich the Party itself rather than working for the welfare of the Nation or its citizens. They hardly get enough time to implement fully the so-called Policies and Programmes announced by them to the vast gullible masses of the country at or before the Elections. Many a time novel Policies and Programmes are announced with a view to merely lure the voters to vote for them and thereafter befool and forget them altogether. The ideologies of the registered Political Parties in India are half backed ideologies and any one of them is not totally ideal and suitable to be emulated for the welfare of the States/Nation.
4. The demerits or drawbacks of the Electoral mal-Practices in India are such that a wide gap between the rich and poor or the haves and the have-nots, has been steadily building up in the Society since independence. Politics in India is the root cause for this wide gulf or gap. Of-course, there are various other factors too that are responsible for this, but the main root cause for the divide between the rich and the poor is the Indian Political mal-practices and how they are being played by the unscrupulous Politicians in India. In this paradox, Oscar Ameringer has aptly described, “Politics is the gentle art of getting votes from the poor and campaign funds from the rich, by promising to protect each from the other.”
5. Electoral system hides substantial irregularities at micro level. In fact, my own experiences confirm the above. Many distortions, some are very serious, that have crept in the System either due to loopholes in the Electoral Laws or due to the incapacity of the system to punish the deviant and in may ways the unacceptable behaviors of Political Parties and their Candidates and their Supporters, here I mean the big Business houses and Businessmen, Multi-National Companies and Foreign Forces inimical to India.. There are 6 MPs and 6 Cs that cripple the entire Indian Electoral System. The 6 MPs in the caste based political Elections being held in India everywhere, namely, parliamentary elections, assembly elections, local bodies’ elections (viz. elections in municipal corporations, municipalities, zilla parishads, town panchayats and village panchayats), are (1) Money Power, (2) Muscle Power, (3) Media Power (print media, electronic media and digital media) (4) Mafia Power (5) Man Power and (6) Manipulative Power. The 6 Cs are (1) Caste-ism (Brahmanism, Vaishya, Kshatriya, and Shudra), and the Untouchables (Scheduled Castes and Schedule Tribes) and the most economically vulnerable poorer sections of the Indian National Society, (2) Capitalism (3) Communalism (4) Corruption (5) Criminalization and (6) Communism (Class-ism). Basically all of these play very important roles in the elections in India, whereby about 10 per cent of minority Arya Manuwadi Ruling Class takes the powers in hand to rule over the remaining 90 per cent of the population literally un-participated, un-represented and totally against the basic democratic principle of “majority rule over the minority” and thereby completely disgusting and browbeating the vast majority population of India helplessly mired in an everlasting financial inequality, poverty, and discrimination, which vitiates the Indian Political Electoral Atmosphere and compromises the legitimacy of the Indian Political and Economic Processes in a very substantial way.
In conclusion, it can be safely said that Elections in India are a complete farce and therefore BSP could not win even a single Seat in the last Assembly or Lok-Sabha Elections in Maharashtra nor could I win the last Kalyan Dombivli Municipal Corporation Election contested by me under the banner of BSP. Please therefore consider my Memorandum and take suitable remedial measures for the future of our Party BSP, India, (i. e. Bharat) and its mul-nivashi aboriginal citizens.

12th April 2011 FAST OF ANNA HAZARE. Absolute powers of a Monarch or a King are not expected to be in the hands of a single Functionary or a Group of Functionaries in a Democracy under a written down Constitution like India. However, they are absolutely vested in the Citizens/Voters of the Democratic country. The Citizens/Voters are the Monarch or the Kings whereas the so-called representatives, got elected by hook or crook, to rule over them, are literally the paid servants of the vast Masses/Citizens/Voters. SECONDLY, as in Political Democracy, there is no Financial Democracy in practice under the Laws in India. The Nation’s Wealth and the Economic Resources of the country or the Public Finances are allowed to be made use of and/or frittered away by a selected few modern day Feudal Barons who maintain close links or good relationships with the Governmental Machineries or Ministers. The poor citizens are always at the mercy of these people who make use of the government Finances and also the Wealth of the Nation and the Economic Resources, for their own exclusive benefits and business purposes. They often indulge in Black money generation, in the increase of corruption and money laundering, so as to accumulate the ill-gotten money in secret and other foreign Bank Accounts. They are not only merely tainted and corrupt people but are the real anti-Indians fit to be tried for treason. THIRDLY, we have too many laws already made, but too little justice to the vast majority citizens of the country because of the total neglect or non-implementation of the various provisions of the welfare legislations, tooth and nail. Therefore, by merely introducing one more Bill called ‘JAN LOKPAL BILL’ in Parliament and thereafter passing it, without the slightest intention of its implementation fully by the rich Bureaucrats and others concerned, will be to help escape the already tainted and corrupt Bureaucrats, the other Public and Government Servants, and Ministers representing the citizens/voters in our Banana Democratic Republic. With this humble thought of mine, I stand to support Mr. Anna Hazare poor fellow intending to somehow support the cause of the poor Citizens/Voters of this vast Country, India i.e. Bharat.

Dear Sir,
Sub: Demands of Local Voters regarding Nagar Raj Bill.
________________________________________
Congratulations for having passed the NAGAR RAJ BILL, (COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION LAW) to increase the Peoples’ Direct Active Participation in the democratic process.
The Nagar Raj Bill will play an important role in strengthening Democracy at grass root levels and will speed up the development work hitherto neglected in the Locality, with the active participation and co-operation of the Local Citizens/Voters and the elected Councilors.
t The Maharashtra Government has amended the draft of Central Nagar Raj Bill by removing the ‘spirit’ and leaving behind only the ‘skeleton’. I forward some of the important suggestions which may be considered as part of the amendment.
1. The Area Sabha should consist of 2 contiguous Polling Booths
(say, 1800-2200 Voters) instead of 5 Booths (4,500 to 6000 Voters) to make it easily workable.
2. The Area Sabha Representative should be elected by secret Ballot at
the time of Municipal Corporation elections.
3. There should be a Ward Committee for every Corporator Ward.
4. The present multi-Corporator Ward Committees (Prabhag Samitis) should be converted to Administrative Zone Committees.
5. The decisions and proposals of the Area Sabha should be determining.
6. There should be a definite financial provision for each Area Sabha.
7. Voters/Citizens may attend periodical Area Sabha meetings called by Area Sabha Representatives for giving their valuable suggestions and guidance in the decision making process.
8. Area Sabha meetings to be addressed by all Govt. Servants and
Officers, and Business Entities, NGOs, and other Celebrities/Dignitaries living in the Local Area on a single Platform and to impart Awareness about latest Govt. Schemes and Programs – to the citizens/voters
9. Area Sabha and Ward Committees to include learned members of all Communities living in the Local Areas – men and women in proportion of 50: 50.
10. Civic wrongs/offences may be defined and Municipal Courts
established in the Provincial Municipal Corporation Areas as in
Mumbai for enforcement, levy and collection of fines/penalties.
11.Uniform financial Autonomy to each Ward.
12. Ombudsman to ensure Accountability in the working and
implementation by the Authorities.
Yours faithfully,
Local Voter.

CONSTITUTION DAY
26th November 2010
1. We are assembled here to remember the Constitution Day of 26th November 1949 when the Constituent Assembly adopted the Constitution of India presented by Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar, M. A., Ph.D., D. Sc., LL.D. (Columbia University), D. Litt. (Osmania University) , Barrister-at-Law. A draft of the proposed Constitution was presented by Dr. Ambedkar to the Constituent Assembly on 4th of October 1948. Dr. Ambedkar, a Dalit Icon, was born at Mahu (present day Madhya Pradesh) to a lower Untouchable Caste Poor Family of Subhedar Ramji Sapkal and Mrs. Bhimabai Ambedkar as the 14th Child on 14th of April 1891.
2. In pursuance of recommendations of Cabinet Mission in 1946, elections to the Constituent Assembly were held and the Constituent Assembly met for the first time on 9th December 1946. Lord Mount Batten’s Plan was accepted. At last, Britishers agreed to declare India’s independence. The British Parliament passed the Indian Independence Act on 18th July 1947, which came into force on 15th August 1947. It paved the way to constitute the “Constituent Assembly” headed by Babu Rajendra Prasad as President. A Drafting Committee headed by Dr. B. R. Ambedkar as Chairman and 8 other members was constituted.
3. The Constituent Assembly, after thoroughly examining various Constitution of other Countries of the World viz. America, England, Australia, etc. prepared the Constitution of India. Dr. Ambedkar addressed the Constituent Assembly on 26th November 1949 when the Constituent Assembly adopted the Indian Constitution. It is this 26th day of November 1949 we are assembled here to remember and celebrate.
4. As you all know the Constitution of India contains the Fundamental Right to equality guaranteed to all citizens of India irrespective of caste, creed, sex, place of birth etc. in the Social, Economic and Political fields. The Constitution was brought into force with effect from 26th January 1950 and we the citizens of India celebrate this day as Republic Day by observing the day as a National Public Holiday. To understand and appreciate the contents of the Constitution, it is advisable that each and every citizen should be supplied a copy of the Constitution in the language known to him free of costs and he should keep it in his house as a ‘Bible’ and read it everyday.
5. Our Constitution was prepared after systematic, thorough, and meticulous deliberation, clause by clause and word by word, right from 9-12-1946 to 24-1-1950, i. e. for a period of more than three years.
6. One important feature about addition of Article 21 may be mentioned here. Interim Report on Fundamental Rights dated 23rd April 1947, was submitted by Shri Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, the Hon’ble Chairman, Advisory Committee on ‘Minorities Fundamental Rights’. It contained Clause 9 which read as follows:-
“No person shall be deprived of his life, or liberty, without due process of law, nor shall any person be denied the equal treatment of the laws within the territories of the Union.
Provided that nothing herein contained shall detract from the powers of the Union Legislature in respect of foreigners.”
On 30th April 1947, the Constituent Assembly proceeded to take into consideration the Interim Report on the subject of Fundamental Rights.
Clause 9 as amended, was adopted as follows:-
“No person shall be deprived of his life, or liberty, without due process of law, nor shall person be denied the equal treatment of the laws within the territories of the Union.
Provided that nothing herein contained shall detract from the powers of the Union Legislature in respect of foreigners”.
Even at this stage these words “without due process of law” were retained.
The Drafting Committee considered this clause and proposed Article 21 as follows:-
“No person shall be deprived of his life or personal liberty except according to procedure established by law…..”
Thus, in this proposal, “without due process of law” phrase was changed to “except according to procedure established by law”.
Many of the members of the Constituent Assembly did not favour such change. Many Amendments e.g. Amendments 523, 528 or 530 were moved for substituting the words “without due process of law” for the words “except according to procedure established by law” etc. in the draft of Article 21 as proposed by the Drafting Committee.
Kazi Syed Karimuddin (C. P. & Berar: Muslim ) while moving amendment No.523 said, words, “according to procedure established by law” will forbid “the Courts to look into the injustice of a law or into a capricious provision in a law” and that, “and the Judges will be only spectators.”
Pandit Thakur Dass Bhargava (East Punjab: General) reminded the house about Act XIV of 1908 called the Black Law under which thousands of Congressmen were sent to jail with powers of declaring any organization illegal by virtue of a notification, and that, the courts were not competent to hold that any organization or association of persons was legal though its objects were legal. He insisted on the words “due process of law” because “even if the legislature is carried away by Party Spirit and is sometimes panicky the judiciary will save us from the tyranny of the legislature and the executive.”
Shri Chimanlal Chakkubhai Shah (United States of Kathiawar (Saurashtra) supported “due process of law” because while reviewing legislation, “the Court will have the power to see not only that the procedure is followed, namely, that the warrant is in accordance with law or that the signature and the seal are there, but it has also the power to see that the substantive provisions of law are fair and just and not unreasonable or oppressive or capricious or arbitrary.”
Shri Krishna Chandra Sharma (United Provinces: General) discussed in length long history of Anglo-Americal law, particularly expression “Per Legum Terrea” in the Magna Carta, use of these words in 1331, 1351 and 1355, orin Statute No.28 during the reign of Edware III, and use of “due process of law” in American Constitution from 1791 and supported “due process of law” because “What this phrase is to guarantee a fair trial both in procedure as well as in substance”.
Shri H. V. Pataskar (Bombay: General) supported substituting the words “except according to procedure established by law” by the words “without due process of law” because “we have instances which lead us to think that the Party Machine at work is likely to prescribe procedures which are going to lead to the nullification of the provisions which have made in the Fundamental Rights.”
Shri K. M. Munshi supported incorporation of the words “without due process of law” in substitution of the words “except according to procedure establied by law” because “This clause would only have meaning if the Courts could examine not merely that the conviction has been according to law or according to proper procedure, but that the procedure as well as the substantive part of the law are such as would be proper and justified by the circumstances of the case.”
Shri Alladi Krishnaswami Iyer (Madras: General) was of the opinion that “The Drafting Committee in suggesting ‘procedure’ for ‘due process of law’ was possibly guilty of being apprehensive of judicial vagaries in the moulding of law.”
Mr. Z. H. Lari supported the words, “without due process of law” because “You cannot excuse excess of law simply because those excess are committed by a popularly elected legislature.”
While replying the debate on 13th December 1948, the Honourable Dr. B. R. Ambedkar confessed difficulty in taking position about amendment for the deletion of the words “procedure according to law” and the substitution of the words “due process” and choosing between giving “the judiciary the authority to sit in judgment over the will of the legislature and to question the law made by the legislature on the ground that it is not good law, in consonance with fundamental principles” and trusting that the legislature will not make bad laws. He further said, it is very difficult to come to any definite conclusion. There are dangers on both sides. For myself I cannot altogether omit the possibility of a legislature packed by party men making laws which may abrogate or violate what we regard as certain fundamental principles affecting the life and liberty of an individual. At the same time, i do no see how five or six gentlemen sitting in the Federal or Supreme Court examining laws made by the legislature and by dint of their own individual conscience or their bias or their prejudices be trusted to determine which law is good and which law is bad.” Therefore, he closed his arguments with, I would leave it to the house to decide in any way it likes.”
But still, the verdict of the majority was against this minority opinion.
The Amendment No.523, was “That in Article 21, for the words, ‘No person shall be deprived of his life or personal liberty except according to procedure established by law’ the words ‘ No person shall be deprived of his life or liberty without due process of law’ be substituted”. When it was put to vote, the amendment was negatived.
The Amendment No.528 was withdrawn by leave of the Constituent Assembly.
When the Amendment No.530, “That in Article 21, for the words ‘procedure established by law’ the words ‘due process of law’ be substituted’ was put to vote, the amendment was negatived.
The proceedings are mentioned in somewhat details to emphasize the fact that the Hon’ble Members of the Constituent Assembly had done painstaking research before discussing each Article clause by clause and word by word.
7. Still, it requires great courage to admit that the deliberation, which took place all these years, were somewhat incomplete, even as per contemporary requirement and needs. It requires great courage to maintain readiness for reforms and corrections.
8. The Constitution which is, first and foremost, a Socio-Economic Document, is not free from defects. Socio-economic justice is the prime concern of the Constitution which is supreme. The Constitution envisages socio-economic justice as an Arch to ensure a meaningful and dignified life to everyone. The sole aim of the inclusion of socio-economic justice in the Constitution was to bring about a socio-economic Revolution so as to promote the welfare of the citizens of the country/common man. Socio-economic justice is the life-breath of Democracy which keeps all the Communities in Bharat/India together as one Country. The concept of socio-economic justice acts an elixir for socio-economic ills that have been crippling the Indo-Aryan Society since ages.
9. The Indian Constitution was and is not free from defects. Article 15 states that the State shall not discriminate against any citizen on grounds of only of religion, race, caste, sex and place of birth or any of them. India’s ruling Moughals who are from the creamy layer of the Upper Castes/Upper Class/Communities or Manuwadis, went to Madras High Court and then to Supreme Court in 1950, asking for discontinuance of the provision of Reservation in Educational Institutions to the historically and disadvantaged Communities on the plea that the provision of Reservation violated their Fundamental Right to non-discrimination. The Courts upheld the plea and declared Reservations meant to promote Social Justice unconstitutional. “TANTHAI PERIYAR” who later founded ‘DRAVIDA KAGHAGAM PARTY’ in Tamil Nadu, organized meetings and conferences against the said Judgement and also initiated agitations that gained momentum as days passed by. As a result, within a period of 6 months of the Constitution came into operation, the Constitution (First Amendment) Act, 1951, was moved and passed in Parliament. By the said Constitution (First Amendment) Act, 1951, provision of clause (4) was added in Article 15 of the Constitution. This provision of clause (4) of Article 15 was enforced on 18-6-1951. The amendment was passed by the same Members who were the Original Framers of the Indian Constitution including Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar.
10. The added clause(4) of Article 15 reads as – “Nothing in this Article or clause (2) of Article 29 of the Constitution shall prevent the State from making any Special Provision for the advancement of any SOCIALLY and EDUCATIONALLY backward classes of citizens or for the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes.”
You will thus see that the word “ECONOMICALLY” is not deliberately appearing in clause (4) of Article 15 so as to enable the State to uplift an economically weaker or poorest of the poor citizen of India, by making suitable provisions in the relevant laws. This, according to me, is the reason why the gap between the rich and the poor citizens in India is widening. A Constitutional Amendment for inserting the word “ECONOMICALLY’ in clause (4) of Article 15 of the Constitution is therefore necessary to be made by the Indian Parliament to overcome the deliberate omission, if any.
I thank you, the Organizers of this meeting, for giving me an opportunity to speak about a few words on the Constitution Day and for the patient audience given by you all.
Thank you.

HIGH COURT, BOMBAY
1. We are assembled here to remember the Constitution Day of 26th November 1949 when the Constituent Assembly adopted the Constitution of India presented by Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar, M. A., Ph.D., D. Sc., LL.D. (Columbia University), D. Litt. (Osmania University) , Barrister-at-Law. A draft of the proposed Constitution was presented by Dr. Ambedkar to the Constituent Assembly on 4th of October 1948. Dr. Ambedkar, a Dalit Icon, was born at Mahu (present day Madhya Pradesh) to a lower Untouchable Caste Poor Family of Subhedar Ramji Sapkal and Mrs. Bhimabai Ambedkar as the 14th Child on 14th of April 1891.
2. In pursuance of recommendations of Cabinet Mission in 1946, elections to the Constituent Assembly were held and the Constituent Assembly met for the first time on 9th December 1946. Lord Mount Batten’s Plan was accepted. At last, Britishers agreed to declare India’s independence. The British Parliament passed the Indian Independence Act on 18th July 1947, which came into force on 15th August 1947. It paved the way to constitute the “Constituent Assembly” headed by Babu Rajendra Prasad as President. A Drafting Committee headed by Dr. B. R. Ambedkar as Chairman and 8 other members was constituted.
3. The Constituent Assembly, after thoroughly examining various Constitution of other Countries of the World viz. America, England, Australia, etc. prepared the Constitution of India. Dr. Ambedkar addressed the Constituent Assembly on 26th November 1949 when the Constituent Assembly adopted the Indian Constitution. It is this 26th day of November 1949 we are assembled here to remember and celebrate.
4. As you all know the Constitution of India contains the Fundamental Right to equality guaranteed to all citizens of India irrespective of caste, creed, sex, place of birth etc. in the Social, Economic and Political fields. The Constitution was brought into force with effect from 26th January 1950 and we the citizens of India celebrate this day as Republic Day by observing the day as a National Public Holiday. To understand and appreciate the contents of the Constitution, it is advisable that each and every citizen should be supplied a copy of the Constitution in the language known to him free of costs and he should keep it in his house as a ‘Bible’ and read it everyday.
5. Our Constitution was prepared after systematic, thorough, and meticulous deliberation, clause by clause and word by word, right from 9-12-1946 to 24-1-1950, i. e. for a period of more than three years.
6. One important feature about addition of Article 21 may be mentioned here. Interim Report on Fundamental Rights dated 23rd April 1947, was submitted by Shri Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, the Hon’ble Chairman, Advisory Committee on ‘Minorities Fundamental Rights’. It contained Clause 9 which read as follows:-
“No person shall be deprived of his life, or liberty, without due process of law, nor shall any person be denied the equal treatment of the laws within the territories of the Union.
Provided that nothing herein contained shall detract from the powers of the Union Legislature in respect of foreigners.”
On 30th April 1947, the Constituent Assembly proceeded to take into consideration the Interim Report on the subject of Fundamental Rights.
Clause 9 as amended, was adopted as follows:-
“No person shall be deprived of his life, or liberty, without due process of law, nor shall person be denied the equal treatment of the laws within the territories of the Union.
Provided that nothing herein contained shall detract from the powers of the Union Legislature in respect of foreigners”.
Even at this stage these words “without due process of law” were retained.
The Drafting Committee considered this clause and proposed Article 21 as follows:-
“No person shall be deprived of his life or personal liberty except according to procedure established by law…..”
Thus, in this proposal, “without due process of law” phrase was changed to “except according to procedure established by law”.

Kazi Syed Karimuddin (C. P. & Berar: Muslim ) while moving amendment No.523 said, words, “according to procedure established by law” will forbid “the Courts to look into the injustice of a law or into a capricious provision in a law” and that, “and the Judges will be only spectators.”
Pandit Thakur Dass Bhargava (East Punjab: General) reminded the house about Act XIV of 1908 called the Black Law under which thousands of Congressmen were sent to jail with powers of declaring any organization illegal by virtue of a notification, and that, the courts were not competent to hold that any organization or association of persons was legal though its objects were legal.

BAHUJAN SAMAJ PARTY
AN APPEAL
Dear Voters,
1. I, T. M. NADAR, B.COM., LL.B., D.C.L. (GLC, MUM.), Advocate, High Court, Bombay, have to introduce myself to you that I was born in a Christian Family in Vilavancode Taluk of the Travancore State on 9-3-1953. My baptismal name is “Joseph’. As Sardar Vallabhai Patel threatened Military action against the Travancore-Cochin State which was established on 1-7-1949 after the independence and because of the Travancore Tamil Nadu Congress Compaign of 1954 and in view of the States Re-Organisation Act, 1956, the then Nagercoil District (now Kanyakumari District) including my native place stands transferred to the State of Tamil Nadu w.e.f. 1-11-1956 when the Kerala State came into existence, with a Governor appointed by the President of India as the Head of the State, in place of Maharaja.
2. After passing SSLC in my mother tongue (Malayalam) and English and with Chemistry as an Elective Subject and after studying for “Tamil Pulavar” for a brief period of six months, I came to Bombay in the year 1971. Thereafter, I studied the Indian National Language “Hindi” upto Rashtrabhasha “Kovind” through the Rashtrabhasha Prachar Samiti taught on Sundays in Barda High School at CST.
3. I continued my higher studies and obtained the Degree of “Bachelor of Commerce” from the Bombay University through “K.P.B. Hinduja College of Commerce” at Charni Road, Mumbai and LL. B. Degree through “Siddharth College of Law” run by the People’s Education Society established by the Father of the Indian Constitution, Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar. Recently, I have also obtained Diploma in “Cyber Law” through the Asian School of Cyber Laws conducted in Government Law College at Churchgate, Mumbai.
4. In 1982, I was enrolled as an Advocate with Bar Council of Maharashtra & Goa and started practicing as an Advocate in the Bombay High Court and in the Courts subordinate to it. During my studies, I stayed at different places in Bombay and from the year 1980, I am residing in Kalyan. Kalyan is mainly a service class city and people from here travels to Mumbai almost everyday for work. Kalyan has been getting a step-motherly treatment as compared to Mumbai. Since last a few years, load shedding of about 6 hours daily is a bigger problem for the economically weaker section of the population, moneyed persons can buy and install Chinai’s Batteries and Inverters to store up the Energy when the electric supply is on, thereby creating artificial shortage of supply to the poor. There are various other problems, such as lack of sufficient Autos or the Kalyan Dombivli Municipal Corporation Bus services to and fro Kalyan Railway Station for the office goers, want of sufficient waiting rooms at the Kalyan Railway Station because of which people sleep near the Local Ticket booking Windows during the early hours of the day, wastage of electricity due to fixing up of beam or flash lights very closely to one another in the Sky-walk near to the Station, unhealthy and unhygienic condition of roads, particularly of the Kalyan Station Road where the passers-by have to breath in polluted air arising out of garbage, want of proper drainage system, etc. are being faced by the citizens in Kalyan.
5. I have an urge to do social work. So, I had joined BSP which is a registered National Political Party. It is specifically a Party of “SARVA SAMAJ” including “Christian Samaj’. I have been working as the President of “Christian Samaj Bhaichara Samiti”, Kalyan (West) Assembly Constituency 138 for last about four years. BSP also works for a social change based on “Sahu-Phule-Ambedkar” Ideology (Equalitarian Society) to be accomplished in accordance with the provisions of the Indian Constitution and the rule of law.
6. With your active support, I propose to contest the KDMC Election scheduled to be held on 31-10-2010 from Subash Chowk area Ward No.31. As a citizen, you have every right to participate in democracy in exercise of your civil and political rights. You have a right to vote if you are of the age of 18 years and above. So, I take this opportunity to appeal to you to cast your valuable votes in my favour and elect me a clean Candidate. Needless to state that given a chance, I will discharge my duties as a Corporator also to the best of my abilities.
7. For an inevitable change and to elect a clean Candidate, do press the button against the Symbol “ELEPHANT” on the Voting Machine.
Thanking you in anticipation
