Abstract: This research project aims to examine the interplay of race, ethnicity, and caste on the Indian constitution. It will provide an analysis of politics in context of the Indian subcontinent and unpack the development of cultural integration in the twenty-first century. Through critically engaging with secondary literature sources and discussing insights derived from identarian theory and policy analysis, this study uncovers the colonization and decolonization in regard to the Indian legal system. Through this examination, the impact of colonial legacies in perpetuating the disparities rooted in themes of race, ethnicity, and caste has been analyzed.
