Thank you for a brilliant exposition about a very  important topic about which not one American in a million has any knowledge whatsoever! It makes abundantly clear how unique a document guranteeing fundamental INDIVIDUAL rights the American constitution is. It also should be a clarion call to defend those rights against the encroachment of multiculturalism, "affirmative action" and all the rest of the pandering to important electoral segments of the population by race, religion and ethnicity.

Indian constitution is not India made.It is fully copy of British 1935 actwhich made for rule of Indian under British government. After Independent this act was modified, taking some part of U.S. constitution, as  a President  head of state.Remaing part is dotto copy of act of 1935.

Constitution maker did not consider the culture,diverse languages of India,their customs, their way of life. This constitution is imposed on Indian people.So it is not working smoothly,politicans using it just rutual of Indian way.

Dear Ramesh,

Thank you for your input. I must confess it has been a few years since I read the US Constitution. I surely don't remember reading that President is the head of the State. As I recall, President is the head of the Executive Branch of the US Government.

As far as the Govt. of India Act of 1935 goes, you are correct pointing the overlaps. However, we need to be careful here: We need more critical evaluation on this topic.
