The Constitution of India, whose prime architect was Dr. Ambedkar, was adopted on 26th of November 1949. It was not conceived just as a document of codified laws and regulations but it was an embodiment of the values inherited from our freedom struggle. The leaders of many streams of our struggle for national liberation sat together and deliberated for nearly 3 years to draw a roadmap for the future objectives and structure of governance for India. The coming together of such luminaries from various ideological inclinations and backgrounds gave our Constitution an inclusive and diverse approach which could cater to the cultural, spatial and social diversity of the country.

No country in the world is known to have witnessed such a messy situation with its vital telecom industry as India. In last 10 years, 16 telecom operators, most of them with foreign links, had to shut down India operations. Of them, as many as 11 are since the NDA government came to power in 2014. The country is now left with five main operators. And, only one of them, Reliance Jio, a new entrant, is making profit. Jio is not an independent corporate entity. It is part of the country’s corporate behemoth Reliance Industries (RIL). On the contrary, the government has been the sole beneficiary of its telecom policy adhocism — from foreign direct investments, licence fees, revenue share, income of billions of dollars from spectrum auctions, among others. The government’s organisational style was characterised by aversion to planning, tendency to respond only to the urgent, as opposed to the important, issues and focus on 'fire fighting' rather than on establishing systems and procedures through goal setting and long term planning to benefit both the consumers and industry, inviting corruption. The Telecom Regulatory Authority (TRAI) had failed to bring life to the bleeding industry and protect confused consumers.
