Samvidhaani Pitaara | संविधानी पिटारा — Celebrating the Constitution of India
Samvidhaani Pitaara — which translates playfully to The Constitution In A Box — examines, addresses, and illuminates various facets of the Constitution’s character. From a song playlist with lyrics that echo Constitutional Values, the orations that reverberated in the Constituent Assembly, and the men and women who applied their hearts and minds to drafting this document, each episode acquaints you with the Constitution of India. This series is presented by Vineet KKN Panchhi.
The Constitution of India, the world’s longest written national constitution, declares India as a sovereign, socialist, secular, and democratic republic. It is the supreme law of India and enshrines the rights and duties of the citizens of India. It guarantees to its citizens justice, equality, and liberty, and promotes fraternity. Despite these assurances, at several times in our nation’s history, there have been moments when the very fabric of this document has been challenged, when the values that integrate us as a people have been muddled with doubt.
Samvidhaani Pitaara is a series from Radio Azim Premji University that examines, addresses, and illuminates various facets of the Constitution’s character. From a song playlist with lyrics founded on Constitutional Values, to the great orations that echoed in the Constituent Assembly, and the men and women who applied their hearts and minds to drafting this document, we bring you an absorbing series.
Samvidhaani Pitaara is presented for Radio Azim Premji University by Vineet KKN Panchhi, founder of the Jai Hind Project.
