Inaugurated we need to also see what the Mahatma Gandhi or the father of the nation has said about the ram Raj and when we talk about Ram Raj we are talking about a state of Society it is known as the ideal state of society or the utopian model of society so first of
All as the inauguration of ram Mand has happened the word Ram Raj has been evoked again and it is about a state which is believed to have existed after Lord Ram returned to his kingdom of aoda and established his rule so it was talked and it was said that when Lord r
Came back to aoda and he established his rule his rule consisted of Justice he his rule consisted of equality his rule consisted of sovereignity there was Liberty and there was extreme equality among all and Justice was given to people and it was said that even to the animals the
Justice was given so and this is one of the reason why it is said to be the ultim imate form of a society or the utopian model or the ideal model of a society so let us first know About Ram Raj what are the features of ram Raj and why did Mahatma Gandhi said that our society needs to be like Ram Raj so the term Ram Raj refers to an ideal State ideal State means that how we want a state should be so the spirit
Of ram Raj is enshrined in the constitution of India also in the form of the fundamental duties that has been provided by the Constitution for to the people of India and also in the form of the directive principles of State policies that is the dpsp that how a state should
Run it talks about the economic proc erity development oriented Society creation of political Integrity because all this can lead to a happier society in which every citizen is Happy economic Prosperity so that the society as a whole is doing good and the people living in it under it are also doing
Good and they are economically prosper and they’re able to lead a good life a happy life a healthy life and then development oriented Society where every citizen living in the society is thinking about the development and overall the development of the society is taking place and with the development of the society the
Development of each individual is also happening and is also taking place then creation of political Integrity Integrity is important because this is how everyone the society and the people when they will come together they will move move together and then only they will be able to achieve a particular goal or a
Particular Target and with political Integrity the economic Prosperity the economic creativity and the and economically the society or the people will do good so when economic Economic Development or Prosperity political integrity and development oriented Society will come together then the society or the people living within the
Society will be able to lead a equality based society or a equality based lifestyle or a equality based life where everyone is treated at an equal level there is no Rich no poor there is no cast Creed race religion everyone is treated equally before the law then there should be
Respect for all relig that is the society needs to be secular so that the person or the citizen feels free to follow his or her own faith or his or her own religion as there should be benefit for all as not there should be equality among all and it should not
Be that a single or few of the individuals are doing well it should be like if there is good is happening then it should be good for all it should be a egalitarian society where everyone is treated equally and everyone is seen with equal respect and dignity and this
Is one of the famous quotes by Mahatma Gandhi that he has said is in the year 1929 was by Ram Raj I do not mean Hindu Raj for me RAM and rahee are one and the same deity it means he’s talking about a secular state where people are able to
Follow the religion of their own choice the ancient Idol of RAM rajja is one of true democracy in which the meanest citizen could be sure of Swift Justice it he’s talking the Mahatma Gandhi is talking about a society which is based on Democracy democracy means that the ultimate power is in the hands
Of the people it is the people of the state who is actually ruling ruling the society or is actually ruling the country and is a society which where Justice is delivered so if something wrong happens then the justice is delivered then if we talk about then Ram Raj consist of equal
Rights alike of Prince and poer this is also what Mahatma Gandhi has said that equal rights should be given to everyone the richest of all and the poorest of all should be should be having the equal rights when it comes to societal bases then sovereignity of the People
Based on pure moral Authority the society should be Sovereign the society should be Democratic and the society should be just state it means that the ultimate power lies in the hands of the people and it the state should not be suppressed by any external hand or any external forces it should
Have its own say and they should be Sovereign they they can take their own decisions and they can think about what is right for them and what is wrong for them then the idea of ahinsa or nonviolence and this is a principle of Mahatma Gandhi with which he has won the
Freedom Movement and he has achieved so much be it in India or outside India like for example in South Africa so nonviolence violence is is not the form of or a form of activity which should be adopted by anyone nonviolence should be adopted because through nonviolence Justice can be achieved
Violence leads to Bitter results while nonviolence if a situation is handled with care and with sensitivity then the through nonviolence the ultimate result can be achieved then justice for all there should be equality in society be it the rich or the poor be it the person belonging to any cast
Creed religion sex so the person under Ram Raj should get Justice and if someone has done wrong and no matter to watch Society or how much Rich background the person comes from he should be punished while the person who has suff should get justice so Justice
For All is also one of the principles of ram Raj and that is why it is known as the ideal form of State the ideal form of society so few of or I should say most of the aspects of ram Raja is also included in the in the Preamble of India
Like for example that India should be a sovereign ch socialist secular Democratic and a republic State secular so that every person every individual should be able to follow his or her own religion or own faith Democratic the ultimate power should lie in the hands of the people Sovereign so that no external pressure
Should be on the state and the state should be independent in taking his or her own decision it should be a republic and it should be socialist in nature that it should look for the good of the society it should talk about the egalitarian society or it should talk about creating a just
Society then there are other aspects also like justice just Justice should be there on the basis of social economic and political then there should be equality of status and of opportunity that every single individual should get equal opportunity and that is why it is known as equality no one should be preferred no
Preference should be given then fraternity that everyone the people of the nation should live with unity and the people of the nation should live with Integrity among each other there should be Brotherhood among people then there is liberty of thought expression belief faith and worship people should be liberal in their
Thinking and whatever they want to do then few of the ects which are related to the constitution of India like for example the ram Raj aspects or Essence we can find in the fundamental rights or the directive principles of State policies so few of the examples are
Which we can find the example of ram Raj or the essence of ram Raj in the Indian constitution is first of all in the fun through the fundamental rights like for example article 14 which talks about the aspect of equality that is equality for all then Article 15 there should be no
Discrimination against any citizen on grounds of religion race cast sex place of birth or any of them it means discrimination should not be there everyone should be treated equally the base should be equal then if we talk about the dpsp then if we talk about article 38 it
Talks about promoting the welfare of the People by securing and protecting a social order by ensuring social economic and political Justice and by minimizing inequalities in income status facilities and opportunities so it is also talking about and giving the idea that how the state should be so the state should look
To talk about or work towards the welfare of the people there should be a social order which needs to be maintained and there should be social economic and political Justice and inequality should not be there the basic principle should be about equality now other theories of idol Society like for example Mahatma
Gandhi’s theory of idol Society was about Ram Raj so there are other philosophers also who have given their theories of Ideal Society like for example plateau in his book The Republic has talked about a society or a state which should be built on reason Justice courage and Temperance so the society
Should be based on reason and logic then John Stewart Mill has advocated a liberal form of governance so there should be representation of all citizens Free Speech should be there and protection of minorities so Li the government or the state should be liberal people should have the Liberty
To express themselves freely then if we talk about tolto then he talks about renouncing violence and priest Universal love truth morality and service to others so he TL sto is also talking about moving away from violence and moving towards love Harmony peace so these are few of the other examples or
Other theories of Ideal Society in the end a means practice question so you people need to do your answer Writing Practice and this is of 10 marks comment on the essence of ram Raj in today’s time so first of all talk about Ram Raj what are the aspects of ram Raj why
