Description
This accessible introduction to India’s constitutional history examines ten landmark Supreme Court judgments that reshaped the country’s democracy and everyday life. Through cases involving secularism, the right to livelihood and shelter, the right to die, workplace sexual harassment, custodial deaths, reservations, and environmental protection, it shows how legal principles have evolved in response to urgent social questions. The book places each judgment in its historical and political context, clarifying complex concepts while tracing its broader impact on citizens and institutions. Written with the authority of an eminent lawyer, it offers an engaging guide to the foundations, tensions, and continuing influence of Indian law.
