ABSTRACT
The article aims to justify the relation between the IKS and the Constitution of India. Several provisions of the constitution are based on the Natural law theory which itself is an integral part of IKS. IKS is a manifestation of universal principles which has been largely acclaimed and universally recognised under the Roman law. However, the IKS is a much older legacy than that of the Greeks and Romans. However, due to colonisation, moreover, owing to Macaulay’s model of education in India, our own traditional knowledge and wisdom have been ignored. We must acknowledge the contribution of our constitutional framers who kept the IKS alive which can be seen in its several provisions and values.
