The topic of the Constitution Review
Commission is recent. It was set up
in 2000. The basic idea was that
constitution, on the one hand should
not be amended too frequently and on
the other hand it should reflect the
changing dynamisms of the society. It
should not be static. On 23 February
2000, the President of India appointed
Justice Shri M.N. Venkatachaliah,
former Chief Justice of India as the
Chairperson of the Commission.
One of the most famous axioms in
economics is bad money drives out
good. This rule has generally been
attributed to Sir Thomas Gresham
(1519-1579), an English financier who
advised King Edward VI and Queen
Elizabeth I with regard to financial
matters, and it is popularly known as
Greshams Law. The key prerequisite
is that there must be two forms of
money or currency (with the same
face value) in circulation simultaneously.
The acceptance of both currencies at
the same face value is required by
legal tender laws enacted by the
government. One of the currencies is
artificially overvalued, and the other
currency is artificially undervalued. In
such situations, bad money tends to
dri ve t he go od money out o f
circulation.
Sher Shah Suri (1486 22 May 1545)

After his accidental death in 1545,
