Thanks for the very difficult question.
A
50:44Arvind NarrainGUEST
I think one way to try and address that question is to say, how do we root these values in a more kind of a, in our society, in our ways of thinking, in the wider civil society, so that everybody feels it's a value that we're committed to.

51:00Arvind NarrainGUEST
And I think the question of dignity, again, Professor Malman took us through a little bit of the history of how it evolved in the Western, in the European context.
A
51:08Arvind NarrainGUEST
What is the history of dignity in the Indian context? are the ways we can root dignity in India, which is something which we can draw on, all of us can draw on as a point of strength.

51:20Arvind NarrainGUEST
Again, it goes back to the idea that the constitution of the preamble is not just a document for lawyers alone, document for all of us.
A
51:28Arvind NarrainGUEST
So how do we, how do everybody own the constitution and own the preamble? And this of course is very important because Aditya mentioned very strongly that the challenge or the attack on the constitution is it is by, some people call it a colonial constitution, some people call it a communal constitution.
A
51:45Arvind NarrainGUEST
We continue to say it's a constitution which matters to the vast majority of people in this country.
