The Constitution Does Not Create a Crowd — It Creates Citizens
Today, the biggest crisis in our country is not inflation.
It is not unemployment.
It is not even corruption.
The biggest crisis is this:
Citizens are slowly being turned into a crowd.
A crowd does not think.
A crowd does not question.
A crowd only follows orders.
But the Indian Constitution did not create a crowd.
It created citizens.
To be a citizen means:
The right to question
The courage to disagree
The strength to stand against injustice
Yet today, asking questions is seen as a crime, and silence is celebrated as patriotism.
When young people talk about education, jobs, and their future,
they are told,
“First protect religion.”
History shows us one truth again and again:
Whenever people must be distracted from real issues,
fear and identity are used as tools.
The Constitution says:
All citizens are equal.
But in reality:
Some are identified by caste
Some by religion
Some by language
Citizenship comes last.
The Constitution teaches us that a government does not fear questions —
it becomes stronger because of them.
Yet today,
those who question are labeled “anti-national,”
and those who stay silent are called “good citizens.”
This article is not against any government.
It is not against any ideology.
This article stands for the citizen
who wants to live without fear,
who chooses justice over hatred.
Remember this:
The Constitution is not just words written in a book.
The Constitution is our collective voice.
If we fall silent,
the Constitution will fall silent with us.
That is why we must choose
not to be a crowd,
but aware and responsible citizens.
Because democracy does not die
when governments make mistakes.
Democracy dies
when citizens stop speaking.
This is not the voice of any party —
this is the voice of the citizen.
