A National Interfaith Dialogue on Constitution and Religious Values

India has, for centuries, stood as a beacon of unity in diversity. Home to a rich mosaic of religions, cultures, languages, and philosophies, the nation has long demonstrated that diversity is not a source of division but a foundation of collective strength and shared heritage. The Constitution of India embodies this enduring civilisational ethos by enshrining the ideals of Justice, Liberty, Equality, Fraternity, Secularism, Human Dignity, and Freedom of Religion.

In an age witnessing increasing social polarization, religious intolerance, misinformation, and ideological conflicts, there is an urgent need to create spaces where dialogue replaces discord, and understanding triumphs over misunderstanding. Recognizing this national imperative, the Santhigiri Social Research Institute (SSRI), in association with the Arts & Culture Department of Santhigiri Ashram, is organizing this National Seminar and Interfaith Dialogue.

The programme brings together eminent spiritual leaders, constitutional scholars, academicians, policymakers, researchers, students, and civil society representatives to explore the shared moral foundations of India's Constitution and the world's great religious traditions.
