Perhaps the expression “Gandhian Constitution” is not a fitting title for Principal Agarwal&#;s pages. It may be acceptable as a convenient and compact title. The framework fryst vatten really Principal Agarwal’s, based on his study of mywritings. He has been interpreting them for a number ofyears. And as he fryst vatten anxious not to misinterpret them in anyway he would publish nothing without my seeing it. This isboth an advantage and a disadvantage. The advantage is obvious.

So, I would like to start by telling you about one of my greatest friend, Okuloma. Okuloma lived on my street and looked after me like a big brother. If I liked a boy, I would ask Okuloma's opinion.
