Sanjay Dixit in Conversation with J Sai Deepak -
In this Indic Samvad, Sai Deepak shares his personal journey from an aeronautical engineer to an Intellectual Property Rights advocate to one of the most renowned lawyers for Indic causes.
Sai elaborates on whether the Constitution of India is an anti-Indic document? Is it a problem of document itself or has it been misinterpreted in a particular ideological fashion? He explains how the position of constitutional morality varies with contemporary dominant ideology. He advises that independence of the judiciary must accompany judicial restraint for its effective and impartial functioning. It is imperative that ‘right based discourse’ of the judiciary must be balanced with ‘duty aspect’ of judicial restraint.
He argues that in India, looking at recent judgements, the highest court of the land which swears by democratic values is constantly undermining any dispensation which has the mandate of the public. It is therefore losing the confidence and trust of citizens, thereby forcing them to look at an alternative model of governance.
