Constitution Will Perish If Indian Demographic Profile Changes, Follow Bharatiya Traditions & Dharma To Maintain It: Madras High Court Judge

"Constitution is the ultimate for everyone...If the constitution has to remain the same, the demographic profile which existed at the time of formation of the constitution has to be maintained. Only when the demographic profile remains the same, the constitution will remain the same. If the demographic profile changes, the constitution will perish", he said in a speech delivered in Tamil.

Further speaking on the issue, Justice GR Swaminathan said that to maintain the demographic profile of the country, one had to follow the "Bharatiya Traditions" and "Dharmas" that have existed in the country.

Talking about the Indian culture, Justice Swaminathan further commented that when Tamil Poet-Saint Andal in her hymns asked people to wake up, what she meant was for people to wake up and see that our society was facing a lot of danger.

"When Andal sang in her hymns asking people to wake up from their sleep, I believed she was calling the Indian society to wake up which was sleeping peacefully without knowing that it was under a lot of danger" , he said.

He refused to speak further on the issue and said that being a judge, he could not make further comments.

The high court judge was speaking at Journalist and Actor Rangaraj Pandey's book launch event.
