Dilip Da : Thanks for the retrieval of this important piece of information.
Srijut Kamal Deka: Thanks for pointing out that the clause regarding '
upholding sovereignty and integrity of India' had been inserted from 1963 by
amending the third schedule.
The above underscores the changing nature of the rules and regulations
guiding a people. It also shows that there is no absolutes here. Laws,
constitutive documents, demands of a group of people may all undergo change
with times. So the bottomline is: maturity demands flexible opinions!
BTW: I am amused that Nehru did not have to take that oath that he would
uphold sovereignty and integrity of India; and so his heart went out for the
people of Assam in 1962.:-)
