Mahatma Gandhi's philosophy of equality of all human beings regardless of caste and creed inspired the Constitution of India, Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankar said on Saturday while inaugurating the two-day Sadbhavana Conference in New Delhi, marking the 90th Foundation Day of Harijan Sevak Sangh, which was founded by Mr. Gandhi in 1932.

Mr. Dhankar said that the Gandhian ideals animate the Fundamental Rights and Directive Principles of the Constitution, adding that the Mahatma's teachings will remain eternally relevant to humanity.

While inaugurating the conference, the Vice-President also paid floral tributes to the Father of the Nation and Acharya Vinoba Bhave.
