I do not agree with Jayesh that there is nothing original in the constitution of India because many provisions have been borrowed from the constitutions of other countries. But it was never a blind borrowing. It was innovative borrowing. When we were drafting the Constitution, efforts were made to amalgamate western and traditional Indian values. It was a process of selective adaptation and not borrowing.
I agree with Saba’s view. Many Indians have not only adopted modern ways of thinking but have made these their own. For them, westernization became a form of protest against the filth in their own tradition. When western modernity began to interact with local cultural systems, something like a hybrid culture began to emerge, possibly by creative adaptation, for which a parallel can be found neither in western modernity nor in indigenous tradition.
Neha countered him that our national movement was not against the British, but it was against the principle of colonialism. Hence, we may adopt the goodness of any entity if it suits us. So we can say that there is no issue in borrowing the provisions from other countries as per our suitability.
