A MODEL GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE FOR INDIA BASED ON VEDAS AND MANUSMRITI

KEYWORDS 
Vedas, Manusmriti, Omniscient, Code, Governance, Primeval

It is the general belief that Vedas are divinely revealed scriptures and the fountainhead of all knowledge. Human beings are innately of limited intellect and understanding. But their creator is omniscient and hence knows best what is good for his subjects. Therefore, it makes perfect sense to base the structure of human institutions on Vedas and on Manusmriti, the code of human living derived from the Vedas. This article is an attempt to carve out a model governance structure for contemporary India based on the codified principles of sound governance expounded in Vedas and Manusmriti, the primeval scriptures of mankind.
