Last week, Mahua Moitra, who belongs to TMC, a political party ruled by an absolutist, went, well, all Moitra because her flow of glib English was interrupted by the Chair of Lok Sabha in Hindi, no less. Moitra is no stranger to throwing her weight around but when it comes to using the gaumutra scorn frequently one wonders what her intent is. The distinction, then, between the position and the people in that position gets diluted, and what happens is that the identification with the nation becomes contingent upon fealty to the Constitution. Further, there is the political equivalent of psychological project, what I call as constitutional projection, that left-inclined parties use to project their vileness onto the current government. The whole argument of looking at anything political, social, and cultural, through the lens of the Constitution is the reason why I am reluctant to support anyone who considers the 70+ year-old document as some kind of a dharmaśãstra.
