Editorial of the Day (27th Jan): Reclaiming the Republic and the Constitution

Table of Contents

Context: India is on the cusp of its 75th Republic Day grappling with the rise of Hindutva ideology and its potential threat to the nation’s multidimensional cultural fabric.

Concerns

  • Flattening of multidimensional culture & imposition of a unidimensional “Hindu Rashtra” vision.
  • Marginalisation of religious minorities and suppression of diverse cultural practices.
  • Erosion of secular principles enshrined in the Indian Constitution.
  • Loss of India’s unique identity as a tolerant and pluralistic democracy.

Way Forward

  • Reaffirming the values of the Indian Constitution – liberty, equality, and fraternity.
  • Protecting & celebrating India’s diverse cultural landscape and religious practices.
  • Resisting the encroachment of majoritarian politics and upholding secularism.
  • Remembering the foresight of the Indian Constitution and its architects in recognizing the importance of tolerance and inclusion.
  • Choosing a Constitutional republic over a Hindu Rashtra to ensure a vibrant and inclusive future for all Indians (“Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam” ).
