India, New Delhi — April 1991.
The Supreme Court chamber echoed with the slow murmur of lawyers, the rustle of paper, and the whirr of old ceiling fans. Inside the Parliament complex, Aryan sat with his Law Minister, Harshwardhan Rao, and Chief Justice Mukund Narayan to begin what no Prime Minister had dared to attempt since independence:
Rewriting India's legal identity.
"Are we free, Minister Rao?" Aryan asked.
"Legally? Yes. Culturally? Not yet. Our laws still wear British wigs and carry Victorian umbrellas."
Aryan leaned forward. "Then let's give Bharat its own spine."
⚖️ The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita Initiative (BNS)
Under Aryan's leadership, Parliament introduced the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) — a modern Indian civil and criminal code, replacing the Indian Penal Code (1860), Evidence Act (1872), and Code of Criminal Procedure (1973).
The BNS began by removing:
377 obsolete colonial-era laws, including sedition clauses, permit-era police powers, and redundant land rules.
Repeal of outdated British blasphemy laws that once restricted Hindu rituals in public.
Legal reclassification of temples and dharmic trusts under an independent Sanatan Cultural Council, not under state departments.
Aryan announced:
"Bharat will no longer be judged by British eyes. Justice will be Indian in word, mind, and soul."
🔍 Justice Through Aadhar
To bring justice to the doorstep of every Indian, Aryan deployed the Aadhar-Justice Integration Framework:
All police stations and lower courts integrated with Aadhar.
Every case, FIR, charge sheet, and judgment tagged with biometric identity.
All new land, marriage, contract, and inheritance registrations authenticated with Aadhar and stored in digital court databases.
Automatic court notifications for hearings via DeshNet SMS.
No lawyer could file a fake case without a traceable ID. No criminal could hide behind fake documents.
"Justice delayed is justice denied. But justice denied to the poor is democracy defeated," Aryan declared in the Lok Sabha.
🏛️ Fast-Track Nyay Kendras & Hindu Dharmic Law Board
Aryan proposed the Nyay Kendra Network — mobile court vans, rural digital courtrooms, and weekend arbitration for civil cases.
But the boldest reform came next:
The Hindu Dharmic Law Board was constituted — a Sanskrit-literate, dharma-trained advisory board for family, marriage, temple, and ethical jurisprudence grounded in Manusmriti, Yājñavalkya Smriti, and Kautilya's Arthashastra.
Critics cried foul.
Aryan replied simply:
"When Sharia Boards exist in neighboring nations, why can't Bharat have her own civilizational conscience?"
🎭 Culture, Education, and Law: Reclaiming Identity
Simultaneously, Aryan's government launched a legal audit of:
All textbooks for ideological bias.
Film, OTT, and TV content for historical distortion and cultural vulgarity.
State-run cultural boards, replaced by Hindu Sanskriti Manch — an apex cultural council.
He ordered:
Sanskrit, Yoga, and Indian philosophy to be introduced as mandatory electives in all schools.
Vedic literature, Kshatriya ethics, and regional folk traditions digitized.
National Film Awards reoriented to celebrate dharmic narratives.
Aryan told the nation:
"We are not rewriting history. We are remembering it."
📜 Legacy of Chapter 27
By the end of the year, over 10 million cases were cleared through digital fast-track courts. Aadhar-based justice delivery became the norm. Hindu temple management was freed from political control in 12 states.
Aryan knew this wasn't just policy.
It was resurrection.
The resurrection of Dharma — not as a religious idea, but as the ethical compass of a civilization rising from centuries of legal darkness.
