Which one among the following countries redefined the princ- iples of 'Panchshila' for the purpose of domestic poli tics ?

Indonesia redefined the principles of 'Panchshila' (known locally as Pancasila) for the purpose of domestic politics. While the Indian 'Panchsheel' refers to five principles of peaceful coexistence in international relations—first articulated in the 1954 Indo-China Treaty [4]—Indonesia's Pancasila serves as the official state philosophy and domestic ideology [3]. Formulated by Sukarno in 1945, the Indonesian version comprises five principles: monotheism, civilized humanity, national unity, deliberative democracy, and social justice [1]. These principles were designed to unify the diverse archipelago and define its national identity rather than just governing foreign policy [3]. Although Indonesia also adopted the international Panchsheel principles following the 1955 Bandung Conference [2], its unique domestic application of the 'five principles' concept as a constitutional foundation distinguishes it from the other listed countries.
