Indian Knowledge System, Democracy, Constitution and Citizenship

Description

This book places Indian Knowledge System in dialogue with the Constitution of India, democratic governance, civic duties, fundamental rights, social justice, pluralism, and citizenship education. It argues that Indian democracy is not merely an institutional arrangement but a living moral and social project shaped by constitutional values, public reasoning, civic participation, social movements, diverse traditions, and indigenous ideas of collective life.
The volume studies rights and duties together, examines dharma and constitutional morality, explores sabha, panchayat, and participatory governance, and addresses social justice and pluralism without romanticising tradition. It recognises that Indian knowledge traditions include both resources for equality and histories requiring critique. Its educational framework aims to build informed, reflective, compassionate, active, and constitutionally grounded citizens.
The book is intended as an academic, educational, and policy-discussion resource. It should not be treated as official government policy, legal advice, administrative instruction, clinical guidance, or a substitute for authoritative statutory and institutional documents. Readers should consult current official sources wherever formal interpretation or implementation is required.
