Book Review


This one is an excellent book. Well-written and very informative especially to the youths of today (I'm not that old either). It clears every doubt one would have and assures it's readers. Written in English in a fairly straightforward structures, it's a must read for everyone - youths and adults alike.

Following are notable excerpts from the book:

“All persons are equal before the law and entitled to the equal protection of the law.”
Article 8, Clause (1)

“Every citizen has the right to freedom of speech and expression.”
Article 10, Clause (1)(a)
“All citizens have the right to assemble peaceably and without arms.”
Article 10, Clause (1)(b)


These and many more speak of the supreme law of the land and how over the years, many have suffered due to the use of draconian laws. Things like detention (for political reasons) without trial and prohibitions on candlelight vigils/gathering/cycling are clearly unconstitutional. What can a group of people holding candles do to disrupt national security? What is a candle compared to truncheons? How can unarmed civilians stand up to chemical-laced water? And the list goes on. It's as if what was written are illegible jargons.

Channel the time and resources towards apprehending thieves, robbers, paedophiles, kidnappers, murderers, and the much-loathed mat rempits (illegal bike racers).
