Justice Markandey Katju writes: I saw a recent interview by eminent journalist Karan Thapar of Arghya Sengupta, research director of Vidhi Centre for Legal Policy on his book ‘The Colonial Constitution’, and I regret to say that I found Dr Sengupta’s views superficial and inane. The thrust of Dr Sengupta’s argument is that the basic defect in the Indian Constitution of 1950 is that it does not devolve power to the people. In other words, it gives too much power to the Central Government, which towers over the people, and therefore it is broadly a repetition of the colonial Government of India Act, 1935 made by the British rulers.
