We need a new Constitution

60 years back we had a Constitution that was written for the betterment of society. It was supposed to change with the changes happening in our society...for its development. Amendments did take place but they were only about small issues. Only one Amendment that captures your attention is 24 th which was about changing and altering FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS of people. Though it was changed later , it exposed a truth that the Parliament can do that , if it has a majority of one political group. Parliament has too much power...it has taken away the power from the President, it tried to take away power of Judiciary....by making Amendments. Don't you think there is change needed?

In 60 years...60 years is a long long time.... no big changes for improvement of people. No drastic steps have ever been taken. Reservations were supposed to end in 50 years and you know what is the condition now. Development is taking place but its not at all even .

I would really like to know what you guys think about the need of writing a new Constitution...a new set of rules( where people have the most power...more options) or at least the need of making huge amendments for improving the current scenario.
Wouldn't it be nice if people(rather than their representatives) have the power to vote for the laws they need to follow..The power to appoint judges/ law n order officials?
