India has surely leapt into the front-row seat in post Covid world order due to its large scale implementation capabilities demonstrated in handling the pandemic while considering welfare of all at home with Sabka Saath and abroad with Vaccine Maitri. Achieving this in a democratic setup is indeed wonderful news for all poor and needy across the globe. This has not been accidental when one looks at the Ethos of Atmanirbhar Bharat, a mass movement, which is deeply rooted in the values of this young nation.
Framers of the Indian Constitution have set forth an enormous and unique challenge of simultaneously completing India’s triple transition across social, political and economic fields. India is one rare country of this size and complexity which has taken on this challenge of getting on to the three transitions together.
The inherent power of owning up to this arduous task seems to have stemmed from the rare surviving ancient culture of the land of this young nation. Energy of youth and availability of a belief system of timeless wisdom!
“We shall frame the Constitution, and I hope it will be a good constitution, but does anyone in this House imagine that, when a free India emerges, it will be bound down by anything that even this House might lay down for it? A free India will see the bursting forth of the energy of a mighty nation.…May this Resolution bear fruit and may the time come when in the words of this Resolution, this ancient land attains its rightful and honoured place in the world and makes its full and willing contribution to the promotion of world peace and the welfare of mankind.” Pd Jawahar Nehru spoke these words on 22 Jan 1947 during the closing of the debate on Resolution of the Constitution, representing the Constituent Assembly.
As Leadership in India looks to the next 25 years with a Vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat and Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam, every interaction at global stage is going to be closely monitored world over.
