	This eBook is for you if you are a member of the Indian diasporas anywhere in the world, are intelligent and articulate but do not know enough about the issues relating to governance in your home country and the values and traditions handed down by our ancestors. It is also for you if you are a member of the general public in India baffled by the ongoing debate between the secular/socialist forces and the Hindutva forces. "Dharma should be not merely the guiding principles but a firm basis of our Constitution. The founding fathers of our Constitution did not seem to have looked into Dharma in all its aspects and implications. This fact is brought out clearly by Sri Sastry in his book on Indian Constitution." "I recommend this book to all those who need to know all about Dharmic administration." ---Dayanand Saraswati This eBook is for you if you are a member of the Indian diasporas anywhere in the world, are intelligent and articulate but do not know enough about the issues relating to governance in your home country and the values and traditions handed down by our ancestors. It is also for you if you are a member of the general public in India baffled by the ongoing debate between the secular/socialist forces and the Hindutva forces.
