Title

Bharatiya Sabhyata–Rashtra SanvidhanamA Scholarly, Non-Binding Civilizational Constitutional Draft



Abstract

Bharatiya Sabhyata–Rashtra Sanvidhanam presents a rigorously structured, scholarly, and non-binding constitutional–civilizational draft rooted in India’s civilizational continuity while remaining fully aligned with constitutional democracy, secular governance, pluralism, and minority protection.

This work does not claim legal authority, enforceability, or political mandate. It is explicitly positioned as an academic, analytical, and conceptual framework, intended for scholarly research, comparative constitutional study, and civilizational discourse.

The draft integrates classical civilizational concepts—such as Dharma, Rajdharma, and ethical statehood—with modern constitutional safeguards, judicial oversight, and international human-rights norms. It draws methodologically from the Constitution of India, comparative constitutional experiences (including Germany’s Grundgesetz), and international instruments such as the ICCPR and UNESCO frameworks.
