The makers of Indian Constitution had rejected the ideas of Hindu India and Muslim India but wanted to build a Republic of India, said Supreme Court judge Justice DY Chandrachud on Saturday. Justice Chandrachud said this while delivering a lecture in Gujarat. He was speaking on the topic 'The Hues That Make India: From Plurality to Pluralism', as part of the 15th Justice PD Desai Memorial Lecture organised in Ahemedabad. "The framers of the Constitution rejected the notion of a Hindu India and a Muslim India. They recognised only the Republic of India," Justice Chandrachud said. He said the Indian Constitution envisages pluralism and no individual or institution can claim a monopoly over the idea of India. In his lecture, Justice Chandrachud also referred to a "positive obligation" for protecting a plural identity. He said the framers of Indian Constitution put trust on the future generations to create a common bond of what it means to be an Indian, which "shunned homogeneity and celebrated diversity in what is meant to be an Indian". He compared the "layered Indian identity" to Matryoshka dolls, and said this is what makes us Indian "and must be central to our understanding of pluralism and efforts to foster it.
