In the Holy Name of Lord Buddha, BIBF, BASE, India, and BVC, hereby propose the following key points in a new Constitution of India.

1. Since India's 1950 Constitution was drafted under a colonial legacy and bears clear signs of colonial rule, a new Constitution of India has become necessary to make India conform to modern times.

2. Accordingly, a Presidential system of governance should be adopted with the President at national level and the Governors at state level being directly elected by the people.

3. The posts of Prime Minister and Chief Ministers should be abolished.

4. The civil services, being a legacy of colonial rule, should be abolished. It is noted that there are several government servants who have criminal records with the police and that there are several government servants who are bribe-takers.

5. Issues that are deemed to be of extreme national importance, should be decided on by the people themselves by means of Referendums with each such issue being placed before all Indians and each Indian having one radio-button ‘Yes’ / ‘No’ vote.

6. Other details may be filled-in revolving around the above key points. As far as is possible and is practicable, the Constitution of the United States of America should be followed. This will ensure that the governance system in India is 'of the people, for the people and by the people'.
