A lot of the current debate in India revolves around the public scrutiny of constitutional functionaries relating to or involving people in general rather than being limited to a particular group of people for the careful and detailed examination of something in order to get information. Between the constitutional functionaries as to reason, fact, system, procedure, and information, certain decisions, finality, and conclusions were reached as constitutional entities and justifications thereof.

A human being in this rarely gifted life form should always strive for higher elevation through the Dharma embedded right object of life pursuit. The object of life pursuit or the object of human pursuit or the aim of life in Sanātana Dharma is Puruṣārtha (Sanskrit: पुरुषार्थ).  Purusha means "primeval human being as the soul and original source of the universe."

Bhārat as a conception traces its origins in the ancient philosophy of India and is rooted in the Vedas, scriptures, Upanishads, Purānas, epics, ideas, thoughts, and teachings of sages and saints. The Sanātana Dharma woven the spiritual thread across the Bhāratvarsha and over the time evolving stronger binding bondage irrespective of varied caste, creed , sect , region , customs , languages , food habits, costumes and professions .

It is an essentiality in Sanātana Dharma (eternal order or righteousness), the eternal way, or the eternal order. Sanātana Dharma is transcendental and beyond time, space, and situation.
