‘Hindu Rashtra’ draft proposes Varanasi as capital instead of Delhi; Muslims and Christians to lose voting rights

A section of seers and scholars are finalising the first draft of a “constitution” for a “Hindu Rashtra” first proposed at the Dharma Sansad in Prayagraj in February.
The 32-page draft is to be presented at the next Dharma Sansad during Magh Mela 2023 in Prayagraj. In February, a resolution was passed at Dharma Sansad at Prayagraj to make India a “Hindu Rashtra”.

According to the draft, Muslims and Christians will also enjoy all the rights of a common citizen, barring the right to vote. They would be welcome in the country to do their businesses, get employed, education and all the facilities that are enjoyed by any common citizen, but they won’t be allowed to use their franchise.

The document also details provisions in the fields of education, defence, law and order, voting system, rights of the head of state, etc. As per the constitution, Varanasi will replace New Delhi as the country’s capital. Besides, there is a proposal to build a “Parliament of Religions” in Kashi (Varanasi).

The plan also lays down the voting pattern. The right to vote will be attained by citizens after completing 16 years of age while the age of contesting elections has been fixed at 25 years.

A total 543 members will be elected for the ‘Parliament of Religions’. The new system will abolish the rules and regulations of the British era and everything will be conducted on the basis of the ‘Varna’ system.

It also outlines new approach in the arenas of education and judicial processes. The judicial system of punishment would be based on that of the Treta and Dvapara yugas. The Gurukul system will be revived and education in Ayurveda, mathematics, nakshatra, Bhu-garbha, astrology etc. would be imparted.
