About this listen

The Constitution of India, the world’s longest written national constitution, declares India as a sovereign, socialist, secular, and democratic republic. It is the supreme law of India and enshrines the rights and duties of the citizens of India. It guarantees to its citizens justice, equality, and liberty, and promotes fraternity. Despite these assurances, at several times in our nation’s history, there have been moments when the very fabric of this document has been challenged, when the values that integrate us as a people have been muddled with doubt.

Samvidhaani Pitaara is a podcast series from Radio Azim Premji University that examines, addresses, and illuminates various facets of the Constitution’s character. From a song playlist with lyrics founded on Constitutional Values, to the great orations that echoed in the Constituent Assembly and the men and women who applied their hearts and minds to drafting this document, we bring you an absorbing series presented by Vineet KKN Panchhi.

भारत का संविधान, दुनिया का सबसे लंबा लिखित राष्ट्रीय संविधान है, जो भारत को एक संप्रभु, समाजवादी, धर्मनिरपेक्ष और लोकतांत्रिक गणराज्य घोषित करता है। यह भारत का सर्वोच्च कानून है और भारत के नागरिकों के अधिकारों और कर्तव्यों को सुनिश्चित करता है। यह अपने नागरिकों को न्याय, समानता और स्वतंत्रता की गारंटी देता है और भाईचारे को बढ़ावा देता है। इन आश्वासनों के बावजूद, हमारे देश के इतिहास में कई बार ऐसे क्षण आए हैं जब इस दस्तावेज़ के मूल ढांचे को चुनौती दी गई है, जब हमें एक व्यक्ति के रूप में एकीकृत करने वाले मूल्यों पर संदेह किया गया है।

संविधान पिटारा रेडियो अजीम प्रेमजी विश्वविद्यालय की एक पॉडकास्ट श्रृंखला है जो संविधान के चरित्र के विभिन्न पहलुओं की जांच, संबोधित और प्रकाश डालती है। संवैधानिक मूल्यों पर आधारित गीतों की प्लेलिस्ट से लेकर संविधान सभा में गूंजने वाले महान भाषणों और इस दस्तावेज़ को तैयार करने में अपने दिल और दिमाग लगाने वाले पुरुषों और महिलाओं तक, हम आपके लिए विनीत केकेएन पंछी द्वारा प्रस्तुत एक मनोरंजक श्रृंखला लेकर आए हैं।

यह गैर-व्यावसायिक पॉडकास्ट केवल शैक्षिक उद्देश्यों के लिए है।

    Hindustan ki Nayi Geetmala | Fraternity Special
    Aug 14 2025

    This Independence Day, Hindustan ki Nayi Geetmala from Samvidhaani Pitara brings you a celebration of the value that holds our nation together — bandhuta, or fraternity.

    Hosted by Vineet Panchhi, this special episode is a journey through songs that reflect the spirit of empathy, dignity, and solidarity — from timeless poetry to contemporary anthems, in voices and languages from across India.

    Fraternity is not charity or politeness — it is the bond that keeps liberty and equality alive. These songs remind us that our freedom was won together, and will endure only if we continue to stand together.

  • Hello Samvidhaan

    Hello Samvidhaan
    Apr 13 2025

    In our daily lives, we often encounter situations where our rights as citizens intersect—or sometimes clash—with the law. While it’s one thing to study the Constitution article by article, it’s quite another to understand the nuances of when and how to exercise those rights.

    What if you had the chance to call in and consult a constitutional expert? Would that make you more aware of your rights—and more empowered as a citizen?

    On the occasion of Babasaheb Ambedkar’s birthday, we bring you a special episode of Samvidhaani Pitaara that promotes civic awareness. Hello Samvidhaan is a dramatised simulation of a call-in radio show where listeners from across India raise questions about how the Indian Constitution applies to everyday life. A cast of characters present a variety of dilemmas, each met with clear, practical guidance from an expert.

    One caller is confused about why he can’t use the RTI to find a bride—after all, isn’t the “right to information” supposed to help with everything? A private school teacher is denied paid maternity leave because her contract is ending—can she still claim her rights? A domestic worker from West Bengal, now living in Bengaluru, recounts her ordeal after her husband is falsely accused of theft—how can she access justice without money for legal help? A young schoolboy complains of being beaten and pressured into tuition by his teacher—does he have any say in how he learns?

    The Indian Constitution is 75 years old, and it’s time citizens embraced its possibilities fully. In Hello Samvidhaan, host Vineet KKN Panchhi reflects on emphasising the importance of not only knowing our rights, but also upholding our duties as citizens.
