India remains a democracy and has been so except for a brief period when elections were suspended and fundamental rights curbed across the land
Its virtues are self-evident but fundamental duties became part of India as fundamental rights were taken away and that was no coincidence
Kesavananda Bharati, who died on September 6th, did not win in court, but his 1973 case limited Parliament’s power to amend the Constitution. Indian democracy is indebted to him
Is India at a moment where its democracy is in battle with its Constitution?
In a constitutional democracy, politics cannot be reduced to the advocacy of pre-set interests
