Adharshila

Adharshila is committed to the philosophy of liberty and responsibility, which it sees as two sides of the same coin. It is wedded to a broad approach towards liberalism and good governance, permitting the exploration of a range of liberal options including classical liberal, libertarian, and even social liberal.

In advancing its work Adharshila invites the respectful expression and exploration of liberty not necessarily constrained by the knowledge of specific political ideologies or language. This welcoming approach and language of courtesy and mutual engagement and understanding is aimed at fostering a sense of willingness in the community to speak up and participate in debates and social and political initiatives. The language of inclusion under the umbrella of freedom would encourage citizens to take charge of their lives and work towards arriving at solutions to India’s many problems through local engagement and resolution instead of engaging in an irresponsible blame game.

Adharshila thus hopes to build a sense of citizenship and demand for freedom and self-respect in India, a demand to take Indians out of the ancient mould of servility and build in Indians a sense of their own sovereignty.

It is, through this process, aimed at creating future leaders for free India, leading India closer to self-governance and Swaraj and contributing towards India’s prosperity.
