The Constitution of Bharat (DCMPT-2025): A Dharmic Constitutional Model of Plural Trusteeship for Future Generations

This work presents The Constitution of Bharat (DCMPT-2025) — the world’s first Dharmic Constitutional Model of Plural Trusteeship. Drafted as a civilizational experiment in statecraft, it transcends the binaries of capitalism vs. socialism, secularism vs. sectarianism, nationalism vs. imperialism, by rooting governance in Dharma (the eternal moral order). Key innovations include: Dharma Index & Future Dharma Index: measurable audit tools for present and intergenerational justice. Trusteeship Economy: an alternative to capitalism and socialism, where wealth is held in sacred trust for society, nature, and future generations. Rights of Nature & Intergenerational Stakeholders: recognizing ecosystems and unborn generations as constitutional subjects. Dharmic Council & Dharma Bench: institutional guardians ensuring ethics, transparency, and cosmic balance in governance. Global Dharma Council: a proposed reform of the UN system, introducing ecological and intergenerational veto powers. Philosophically, this Constitution harmonizes Indic civilizational ethics (Hindu Dharma, Jain Ahimsa, Buddhist Karuṇā, Sikh Sevā, Indigenous Trusteeship Wisdom) with global traditions (Greek Logos, Confucian Li, African Ubuntu, Native American Seventh Generation Principle). Unlike conventional constitutions, this is both a national charter for Bharat and a constitutional offering to humanity — a framework to safeguard human dignity, ecological balance, technological ethics, and the rights of future generations. This document stands as a scholarly, future-proof constitutional vision — integrating law, ecology, ethics, and philosophy — and aims to inspire global debate on the foundations of governance in the 21st century and beyond.
