Persaud on The American Constitution in the Cycle of Kali Yuga: Eastern Philosophy Greets Western Democracy @FAMULaw @seattleulaw

Shiv Persaud, Florida A&M University College of Law has published The American Constitution in the Cycle of Kali Yuga: Eastern Philosophy Greets Western Democracy at 20 Seattle Journal for Social Justice 63 (2021). Here is the abstract.

The Article discusses an application of the ancient Indian concepts of Dharma and Yuga, over our constitutional history in order to give us a clearer philosophical understanding of what the Constitution means to us and our future. Perhaps it is time to start talking about the real intent of the Framers in forming “a more perfect union” and how to get there. The purpose of this Article is to open a new discussion on these issues against a different background of critical analysis, rooted in Eastern philosophy.
