ABSTRACT

This research paper critically examines the intricate interplay between Indian culture and the constitutional identity of India, with a focus on its enduring influence on the Indian diaspora. It examines how shared symbols like the national anthem, the vibrancy of festivals, and the spirit of competitive sports unite Indians globally, creating a sense of belonging beyond geographical borders. The study also delves into the rich tapestry of India’s indigenous traditions—its calendars, historical narratives, and diverse cultural practices—and how these serve as anchors for identity across generations. By addressing inter-regional perceptions and the challenges of “othering,” the paper highlights the Constitution’s role in fostering unity amidst diversity through its core ideals of justice, liberty, equality, and fraternity. Ultimately, this research underscores how the intersection of culture and constitutional values not only preserves India’s pluralistic heritage but also strengthens the bonds of community for Indians worldwide, offering insights that resonate with scholars, legal professionals, and anyone interested in the dynamic relationship between culture, law, and identity.
