India is a Sovereign Nation
India is a Sovereign Nation: The People of India declared their country as a Sovereign Democratic Republic on January 26, 1950. On this day, the Constitution of India came into force. It is interesting to note that the Constitution was prepared exclusively by elected representatives of Indians under the banner of the Constituent Assembly. Not in the name of God, nor in the name of any King or Emperor.
People are sovereign
In actuality, if the Preamble of the Indian Constitution is any guide, the people of India hold national sovereignty.
Preamble
WE, THE PEOPLE OF INDIA, having solemnly resolved to constitute India into a SOVEREIGN SOCIALIST SECULAR DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC and to secure to all its citizens:
LIBERTY of thought, expression, belief, faith and worship;
EQUALITY of status and of opportunity;
and to promote among them all
EQUALITY of status and of opportunity;
and to promote among them all
FRATERNITY assuring the dignity of the individual and the unity and integrity of the Nation;
Actually during 1929-30 itself, Shri Jawaharlal Nehru drafted a resolution stating that the aims of the congress were freedom of religion, right to form associations, freedom of expression of thought, equality before law for every individual without distinction of caste, colour, creed or religion, protection to regional languages and cultures, safeguarding the interests of the peasants and labour, abolition of untouchability, introduction of adult franchise, imposition of prohibition, Nationalization of industries, socialism, and establishment of a secular India.
Furthermore, the Congress party approved all of Nehru’s goals with regard to “Fundamental Rights and Economic Policy” and passed a resolution during the AICC session at Karachi, which was presided over by Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel.
Dependency aggravated after 1984
Up until 1984, Nehru and others made every effort to establish India as a sovereign and self-sufficient nation. It’s all topsyturvydom now, though. For the past 25 years, India as a nation has been sailing like a rudderless boat. I believe that everything we use now is imported, with the exception of clothing and aluminum.
(Watch my Videos on River Saraswati, सरस्वती नदी, Birth place of Hanuman, Location of Brahmavarta, ब्रह्मावर्त and of course truth about Aryanism, आर्याजाती वाद in my YouTube Channel. )
Cooking oil, food grains, sugar, paper, even tiny calculators, wood for furniture, fertilizers for cultivation, and so on—not to mention computers, airplanes, heavy machinery, cell phones, motorcycles, cars, and so forth? India is now completely dependent on foreign nations for everything.
India is behind on all fronts. Indians, particularly the Establishment, lack patriotism and nationalism by nature. Indian society appears to be experiencing cultural bankruptcy and social decay.

Glorious India’s past
India is a fantastic nation that has made history in the past on several fronts. The Tamil-Telugu Dynasty that controlled South India a millennium ago gave the entire sea, which stretches from India’s eastern coast to the end of the South China Sea, the name Chola Lake. India is the source of the name of the Indian Ocean. The credit to name an ocean after a nation belongs to no other nation.
Pliny
Two millennia ago, the Roman author Pliny lamented that Roman gold was being exported to India in order to acquire Indian commodities, such as cloth and valuable stones.
It is important to keep in mind that Columbus set out to locate a westward maritime passage to India rather than to discover America!
Peter the Great
World trade used to be dominated by Indian trade based on products made in India. Peter the Great (1672–1725) of Russia proclaimed, “Indian trade is the trade of Europe, and one who controls Indian trade is the master of Europe.” Western navigators who were set to sail to India named Cambodia and Vietnam as Indo-China under the false impression that they had arrived in India.
Additionally, mariners referred to the Central American Islands as the West Indies, and American Native Americans were referred to as Red Indians since they believed they had successfully reached India!
Five thousand years ago, the Indus Valley people exported a lot of cotton fabric from India. It’s possible that Indians were the first to spin cotton threads and produce textiles.
Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi
During their administrations, Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi made every effort to guide India out of its backwardness. In addition to developing heavy industries for infrastructural development, Jawaharlal provided hydropower and irrigation projects. By starting independent defense initiatives, Indira Gandhi made us feel proud of our country. With the exception of Mr. P. V. Narasimha Rao’s brief tenure, India lost its reputation both domestically and abroad after them.
It’s all Topsy-Turvy dom now.
Political fiasco:
Following Mrs. Indira Gandhi’s administration, India’s political standing declined internationally. People’s sovereignty over the Indian Republic has become meaningless. India has become a rudderless nation in terms of politics. For Indians living overseas, it provides little security and less pride. For this reason, Indians residing in the United States refer to themselves as South Asians rather than Indians!
Al Beruni
A millennium ago, Al Beruni bemoaned the fact that erudite Indians believed they knew everything on Earth and did not impart their knowledge to others. If Indians kept their information to themselves, how could this occur? There are two possible reasons why learned Indians shared their knowledge with others: One is an inducement; the other is a threat to life.
Vincent Arthur Smith
Take a look at this: Indian babus yelled, “Yes, yes,” to Adam Smith when he declared in his Oxford History of India that Hindu puranas have no historical significance.
Purgiter
Following Purgiter’s assertion that the Hindu puranas include numerous historical allusions, our Babus gave them a pat on the back and began to explain the historical significance of the events described in the Puranas!
Social Degeneration:
Swami Vivekananda bemoaned the fact that India was falling behind America in terms of scientific advancement a century ago.
