Abstract

Bharatiya Sabhyata–Rashtra Sanvidhanam v2.0 is a rigorously structured, multi-volume constitutional framework designed to reconcile civilizational plurality with strict constitutional neutrality, judicial durability, and future-ready governance.

Version 2.0 represents a comprehensive advancement over earlier drafts, incorporating strengthened safeguards, federal accommodation mechanisms, technology-aware rights, and international legal alignment—while decisively separating heritage from authority, culture from coercion, and identity from governance.

The framework is drafted entirely in formal legal English and is intended to remain intelligible, defensible, and relevant across jurisdictions, political cycles, demographic change, and technological transformation.



Scope and Architecture

The project is published as five formally distinct PDF volumes, each with a clearly delimited constitutional role. Together, they form a complete, internally coherent constitutional ecosystem.

📘 PDF-1: Core Constitutional Text (Version 2.0)

The sole authoritative and binding constitutional instrument.



Contains the full constitutional text: Preamble, Parts, Articles, and Schedules

Establishes rights, duties, federal structure, safeguards, and institutional design

Integrates constitutional treatment of artificial intelligence, automated decision-making, data governance, and digital rights

Employs a triple-lock safeguard architecture (non-amendable core, misuse prohibitions, mandatory judicial scrutiny)

Excludes statistics, budgets, political commitments, implementation strategies, and advocacy language


This volume alone has normative force.



📗 PDF-2: Executive & Policy Companion

A non-binding, externally facing explanatory volume.



Provides executive-level summaries and conceptual clarity

Defines what the framework is and what it is not

Uses media-safe, institutionally neutral language

Includes diagrams, flowcharts, and structural visualizations

Aligns constitutional AI provisions with EU AI Act principles and global AI governance norms

Compares structural doctrines with Germany, South Africa, Canada, India, and Global South constitutions

Positions the framework as a non-exceptionalist, rights-first constitutional innovation


This volume establishes international intelligibility without surrendering constitutional sovereignty.
