Chief Justice of India Sanjiv Khanna highlights India's transformative journey, emphasizing the role of the Constitution in shaping the nation's progress.
Chief Justice of India Sanjiv Khanna on Tuesday (November 26, 2024) said India has emerged as a vibrant democracy and a geopolitical leader, and the Constitution of the country has helped this transformation.
“India has had a transformative journey from a nation, which under the aftermath and horrors of partition saw widespread illiteracy, poverty, lack of a robust democratic system of checks and balances, to one which has now become a self-assured country,” the CJI underlined.
“But at the back of it, it is the Constitution of India, which has helped this transformation. It is today a way of life that has to be lived up to,” he said.
