Standing to reason and reason alone by Nitin Pai - The Hindu

Standing to reason and reason alone by Nitin Pai - The Hindu

My VIEW:

We have a live Constitution which is amenable to change, when needed, going
by the spirit of the following paragraph in this article:
“It is unambiguous in placing reason and critical inquiry above other
considerations: “Investigating by means of reasons, good and evil in the Vedic
religion, profit and loss in the field of trade and agriculture, and prudent
and imprudent policy in political administration, as well as their relative
strengths and weaknesses, the study of critical inquiry 
(anvikshiki) confers
benefit on people, keeps their minds steady in adversity and in prosperity, and
produces adeptness of understanding, speech and action.” (Arthashastra, 1.2.11).”
Thank God, we get opportunity to remember “Directive principles”, at
least when some controversies arise!
