Question

What is the primary vision of the Constitution of India ?

• A. To develop an assimilationist culture by identifying a cultural code.
• B. To build an integrationist nation-State by establishing a singular idea.
• C. To maintain a national unity by formally recognising differences among the people.
• D. To have a written mandate which all Indians can comprehend.

Hint:

India's Constitution keeps unity while giving legal space to differences, not one single culture.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understand the question.
We must pick the main idea behind the Indian Constitution when it deals with the many cultures and communities of the country.

Step 2: Recall the textbook idea.
India is a very diverse country. The Constitution does not try to melt all groups into one. It accepts differences and gives them a lawful place, so that the nation stays together.

Step 3: Check option 1.
An assimilationist model asks minorities to give up their identity and merge into one dominant culture. The Constitution does not set a single cultural code, so option 1 is wrong.

Step 4: Check option 2.
An integrationist model with one singular idea of the nation also asks for one shared culture in public life. The Indian vision is not built on one singular idea, so option 2 is wrong.

Step 5: Check option 3.
The Constitution recognises religious, linguistic and cultural differences through rights for minorities, language provisions and secular principles, and uses this recognition to hold the nation together. So option 3 is right.

Step 6: Check option 4.
Being easy to read is not the main vision of the Constitution. It is a legal and political document with a larger aim. So option 4 is wrong.

Final Answer:
The primary vision is national unity by formally recognising differences, which is option 3. \[ \boxed{\text{Option 3}} \]
