Indian self-determination

Indian self-determination refers to the country's right to govern itself without external interference. It is a principle enshrined in international law, emphasizing that nations and their peoples have the authority to make decisions about their political status, economic development, and cultural affairs. For India, it means the ability to craft its policies, uphold its sovereignty, and preserve its diverse cultural identity. This concept ensures that citizens and communities can participate in shaping their governance, fostering independence, autonomy, and respect for local choices within the framework of the nation’s constitution.
