AI-driven education promises personalised learning but risks dehumanisation through surveillance, bias, and the erosion of meaningful relationships. This paper addresses this ethical gap by bringing together Gandhian ethics (satyagraha, ahimsa) and Buddhist philosophy (Right Mindfulness, interdependence) into an integrated framework called Conscious Code. The central argument is straightforward: algorithms cannot replace ethical judgment; technology must serve human dignity. The paper develops three core contributions. First, it introduces the principle of Ethical Sovereignty, which rejects algorithmic dehumanisation by placing human dignity at the centre of educational technology. Second, it proposes Decentralised Infrastructure as a model for community-controlled AI that resists data colonialism and respects local knowledge systems. Third, it reimagines the educator as a Moral Gardener who cultivates critical awareness rather than mere technical compliance. Taken together, these contributions outline a vision where classrooms become spaces of justice through concrete pedagogical shifts: cooperation over competition, empathy over efficiency, and wisdom over optimisation. The paper concludes that when consciousness precedes code, technology aligned with enduring ethical principles can nurture learners who are not merely informed but morally awakened. Keywords: Conscious Code, Ethical Sovereignty, Decentralised AI, Moral Gardener, Rooted Innovation, AI Ethics, Gandhian Philosophy, Buddhist Ethics, Applied Ethics in Education.

This paper examines the ancient Indian principle of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam as an ethico-political framework for achieving world peace amidst contemporary challenges of nationalism, ecological crises, and identity-based conflict. Rooted in the Mahā Upaniṣad and Chāndogya Upaniṣad, this philosophy asserts humanity’s intrinsic unity through metaphysical axioms like Tat Tvam Asi and ethical imperatives such as Sarva Dharma Sambhāva (“equal respect for all faiths”). By synthesizing India’s pluralistic traditions—Vedic inclusivism (Ekam Sat Viprā Bahudhā Vadanti), the Bhagavad Gita’s Nishkāma Karma (selfless action), and Jain Anekāntavāda (multiplicity of truths)—the study positions India’s civilizational ethos as a blueprint for transcending divisive paradigms. The analysis extends to India’s constitutional secularism, enshrined in Articles 25–30, which operationalizes these ideals through legal safeguards for minority rights and cultural diversity. Figures like Gandhi and Ambedkar bridge ancient wisdom with modern governance: Gandhi’s Ahimsā (nonviolence) and Ambedkar’s social justice frameworks demonstrate how ethical principles can address systemic inequities. Despite challenges—politicisation of ideals, caste disparities, and geopolitical realpolitik—the paper argues that Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam offers actionable pathways for global harmony. It advocates a dual approach: structural reforms (e.g., equitable policies, climate cooperation) and inner transformation through compassion and wisdom. By aligning India’s historical pluralism with contemporary governance, the study concludes that Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam transcends cultural particularism, offering a secular ethic for promoting universal brotherhood and healing fractured societies through dialogue, equity, and shared responsibility. Key Words: Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam, World Peace, Indian value System, Ethical Cosmopolitanism.

The objective of the paper is to implement and validate diagnosis in the medical field via refined neutrosophic fuzzy logic (RNFL). As such, we have proposed a Max-Min composition (MMC) method in RNFL. This method deals with the diagnosis under certain constraints like uncertainty and indeterminacy. Further, we have considered the diagnosis problems to validate the sensitivity analysis of the novel multi attribute decision-making technique. Finally, we gave the graphical representations and compared the obtained results with other existing measures in refined neutrosophic fuzzy sets.
