THE CONSTITUTION OF BHARAT (Dharmic Constitutional Model of Plural Trusteeship – DCMPT 2025)

Title: The Constitution of Bharat: A Dharmic Constitutional Model of Plural Trusteeship for Ethical Governance and Sustainable Development Description: This pioneering document, The Constitution of Bharat, proposes a comprehensive Dharmic constitutional framework rooted in the eternal moral order of Dharma, cosmic harmony (Ṛta), and the primacy of duties before rights (Kartavya). Drafted for the Republic of Bharat, it integrates classical Hindu Dharma enriched by Jain, Buddhist, and Sikh ethics to establish a pluralistic, ethical, and sustainable governance model. The Constitution outlines a detailed political, social, judicial, and ecological system that emphasizes truth, non-violence, compassion, ecological stewardship, and social harmony. Key features include the recognition of living constitutional entities such as rivers and forests, special Dharma Councils to oversee plural ethics, a unique Dharma Bench within the Supreme Court for jurisprudential guidance, ecological taxation, and a Dharma Index to measure governance performance. The document also champions Dharma-based education, ethical technological audits, and protections for indigenous and marginalized communities. Serving as a visionary blueprint for India, this constitution harmonizes ancient wisdom with contemporary governance challenges and serves as a foundational model for ethical pluralistic trusteeship both nationally and as an inspiration for global discourse.
