Taking the Constitution to the People: Conversations on Hum Bharat Ke Log with Prof. Tarunabh Khaitan and Surbhi Karwa - Part II

In this part II of the Episode, we continue the discussion with Prof. Tarunabh Khaitan and Prof. Surbhi Karwa about their book “Hum Bharat Ke Log”" a remarkable work that brings India’s most important constitutional debates such as democracy, freedoms, federalism, and the rule of law to a wider public.

The conversation explores what it means to make constitutional ideas truly accessible without losing rigour, and how language itself shapes who gets to engage with the Constitution. Together, we discuss the core principles of rule of law, secularism, socialism, and democracy, and reflect on the challenges of democratic backsliding, all in a way that invites even non-lawyers to think, question, and analyse the issues shaping India today.
