Indian Democracy, Federalism and Secularism@2047

Abstract

As India approaches the centenary of its independence in 2047, the nation envisions a transformative journey towards becoming a developed, inclusive and participative democracy. Strengthening the constitutional pillars of democracy, federalism and secularism forms the core of this vision. India’s democratic evolution demands a shift from mere electoral representation to a participatory, transparent and digitally empowered governance model that expands citizen engagement and accountability. India’s secularism, rooted in the ethos of Sarva Dharma Sambhava, must evolve into a more inclusive and culturally rooted pluralism that guarantees equal citizenship, protects diversity, and promotes social harmony without discriminatory state intervention. Together, these three pillars provide the ethical and institutional foundation for Viksit Bharat @ 2047, reinforcing India’s aspiration to emerge as a socially just, economically progressive and culturally cohesive nation. The main objectives of present paper are to study the democracy, federalism and secularism @ 2047. The study based on secondary sources of data. Secondary data have been collected from various sources like Various Reports, Research journal, Text books, Websites ect.
