“Can You Sue the Government in India? | Anand Prasad on Cyrus Says”

Can you sue the government in India?

Corporate lawyer and author Anand Prasad joins Cyrus Broacha to discuss one of the biggest structural flaws in India’s legal system — sovereign immunity.

From why you can’t easily sue a cop or government official, to the Enforcement Directorate’s unchecked power, to performance reviews for judges, gun laws, prostitution reform, and regulatory overkill — this episode dives deep into how India’s system works… and why it doesn’t.

Anand also talks about:

• Why process matters more than outcome
• Why India struggles with enforcement, not laws
• The case for removing sovereign immunity
• Gun control and citizen empowerment
• Legalising prostitution as a safety reform
• Why small entrepreneurs are crushed by licences
• The pakoda seller regulatory trap
• How to truly “Unshackle the Elephant”

This is a bold, unfiltered conversation about power, accountability, and whether Indians are truly free.
