The vision of Ramrajya and its reflection in Modern Indian Constitutional Governance

Ram-Rajya means an ideal state. The concept of Ram-Rajya includes all the ideals of welfare of the people and the state. Protection of nature, protection of animals and birds, protection of rivers, protection of mountains, protection of living creatures, protection of all vegetation, protection of all living beings, their happiness, and their welfare is assured in Ram-Rajya. How should the life of an ideal king be, all these things are included in Ram-Rajya. Rama Rajya, a vision popularized by Valmiki and further shared by Tulsidas in the renowned Ramcharit Manas, is a humanistic vision that is centred on the values of virtue, peace, and harmony. Tulsidas describes Rama Rajya as a state that eliminates and eradicates physical, spiritual, and bodily suffering, which will lead to peaceful living and will be in adherence to laws and ethics. Apart from that, it also promotes truth, purity, compassion, and charity, ensuring that no sin is committed even subconsciously.
