How Hindutva is the foundation of Indian Constitution

Firstpost  

A Constitution enshrines the collective values and aspirations of a nation. The core values of the Indian Constitution are liberty, equality, fraternity, peaceful mutual co-existence, democracy, and respect for nature, natural resources and other creatures. *** *** The core value of fraternity embedded in the Preamble of the Constitution is exclusively borrowed from the Upanishadic ideal of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ i. e. the whole universe is one family. Part IV A, Article 51–A of the Constitution provides that the citizen ought to have ‘sprit of common brotherhood’, ‘strive for excellence’, ‘preserve natural environment’. The term ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ which is the core ethos of Hinduism also implies tolerance towards other faiths, harmony and the spirit of common brotherhood amongst all the people of India transcending religious, linguistic and regional or sectional diversities.
