  1. INDIAN CONSTITUTION WAS SECULAR RIGHT FROM THE BEGINNING. THERE WERE ARTICLE 14- EQUALITY BEFORE LAW & 15- PROHIBITION OF DISCRIMINATION ON THE BASIS OF CASTE, RACE, RELIGION, SEX & PLACE OF BIRTH. WE HAD A SECULAR CONSTITUTION EVEN WITHOUT MENTIONING THE WORD SECULAR. THE 42ND AMMENDMENT ONLY EXPLICITLY MENTIONED IT. EVEN IF THE 42ND AMMENDMENT WASN'T MADE, THE BASIC STRUCTURE DOCTRINE WOULD STILL HAVE SECULARISM IN IT AS OUR CONSTITUTION WAS SECULAR FROM THE VERY BEGINNING.

  2. WE HAVE SEEN THE DAYS WHEN THE BASIC STRUCTURE DOCTRINE WAS NOT IN PLACE. THE RULING PARTY HAD UNLIMITED POWER TO AMMEND THE CONSTITUTION IN WHATEVER WAYS IT WANTED WHILE UNDERMINIG THE WORD, SPIRIT & ESSENCE OF THE CONSTITUTION. HAVING NO BASIC STRUCTURE DOCTRINE IS DANGEROUSLY SUICIDAL.
