This panel will examine how the principles of equality and fraternity have shaped India’s democratic journey over the past 75 years. They will explore the relevance of these constitutional values in addressing contemporary challenges in the daily lives of Indian citizens like social inequities and polarisation. The discussion will also highlight the indigenous roots of these values within Karnataka’s rich philosophical and cultural traditions. Through diverse perspectives, the panel will reflect on how these constitutional values can be actualised in governance, culture, policy, and daily life.
