Explanation

The theme of India’s G20 Presidency, 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam'—translated as 'One Earth-One Family-One Future'—is drawn from the Maha Upanishad [2]. This ancient Sanskrit scripture contains the phrase in Chapter VI, specifically verses 71–73, where it is presented as a moral and cosmological ideal advocating for universal welfare and non-hostility [2]. The verse emphasizes that while small-minded people distinguish between 'mine' and 'thine,' those of noble character view the entire world as one family. This Vedantic dictum is considered a foundational principle of Indian culture, reflecting a universal sense of oneness [1]. The phrase is so significant to Indian identity that it is also engraved in the entrance hall of the Parliament of India. While the concept aligns with broader Vedic traditions, its specific textual origin is the Maha Upanishad.
