If I live to 94, I hope I am half as sharp as Fali Nariman! India has such stalwarts in every field. We should be thankful and grateful that people like him and Karan Thapar exist. What command over their thoughts and language!

His mind is very sharp,God bless him! We need the wisdom of such wonderful people. Justice Krishna Iyer was one.

Mr Karan is doing a yeomen service by interviewing stalwarts like Shri Fali Nariman. It takes a huge lot of preparation for Mr Karan and his team to prepare for such interviews. Heartfelt appreciation to Shri Nariman. At 94 years, he still has strong memory and clarity of thought and flexibility towards balanced interpretation of current events. God bless him.

Nice to see people like him talk about the constitution and make it clear for people to understand what to expect from the govt.Thankyou Mr Nariman and Mr. Karan Thapar

​@@chander3338yes thanks, Government did very unexpected things , extra ordinary, but I think it's the scientists and Bharat biotech they deserve the praise. They could have sold the vaccines For higher profits to the world but they called government to literally give it as almost a charity. The CEO of Bharat biotech could have become one of the Richest person ever lived. Government provided machinary of logistics and distribution not development. Scientists went through all the possible conditions and combinations of mRNA that can destabilize the SARS COVID viruses in a cell. All were private scientists. Bharat biotech is the unsung, forgotten worth appreciation company for development . Government had almost no job in lock down , they provided logistics and distribution. Thank you. When we can praise the Government when it does small goodness then why can't we criticise it in cases of undisciplined behaviours and unfulfilled promises.

What a brilliant man. What incisive thinking, and yet, so simple in his bearing and demeanour. And look at how much he enjoys speaking about the Constitution, his primary love! One feels proud and privileged to be an Indian, when one seen people like Mr. Nariman.

Wonderful and educative interview and wish a healthy and long life for Mr. Nariman ji.

Fali Nariman, the most brilliant mind and humane too. India is blessed to have him as citizen.

Karanji is giving light in this time darkness for Indian democracy through his conduct of interview with eminent Advocate like this. Long live Karan Thapar.

Are you unable to see how much of time and tax payers money is being wasted in conducting elections throughout the year when the time of the elected representatives and the money can be put to better use for the benefit of the people. What is the disadvantage of holding both state and national elections. The advantages of holding both state and national elections at the same time far outweighs holding them separately. Think about it.

Brilliant beyond belief !! I have not seen anyone as strong as him at this age 🔥 people lack backbone & ability to speak their minds even at the age of 30 yrs of age when it is needed but this brave gentleman & possibly the wisest mind has proved that age anything is possible with determination & age is just a number !

It was an eye opening interview. I wish all people of our country would listen and try to understand what is the right path before it's too late. Especially our Judges and most importantly all the ministers, prime minister and our president. We are Indians we should be proud by showing others how we live in a democratic country loving everyone towards prosperity of our nation. Only possible if we look after every person living in this nation equally. I wish all are educated and understand what is the best for them and others. Hats off to both of you.

Very good interview. Thanks

Mr Gogoi has sold his soul he is not worth it 😊

Today we have emergency! We have to stand up to this autocratic govt.

It's is indeed a privilege to watch it. This happens rarely in Indian media. Thanks to Mr Thaper for precise questions and Mr. Nariman for crystal clear answers. The sad reality is legends like these are now an endangered class.

Really astonishing interview, you are a brave journalist. 🙏

Brilliant!! Great to listen to Nariman!! Thank you Karan!

Thanks...karan sir...for clearly mentioning out the atrocities being done to muslims in India. And my honour for Nariman sir have highly increased because of his acceptance of the ongoing undeclared emergency. I wish you both a good health and a long life.

If they had spine then they wouldn't have been appointed. Look at justice chandrachud he is giving judgements/comments or hearings only on those cases which more theoretical or doesn't go drastically against the government. Most of important cases are not even heard in court.

These interviews are desperately needed in Hindi and other local languages

Very excellent interview. It is in the interest of the common public. Please go ahead to protect, preseve and safeguard the rights and duties of the parliament and the executive in our country

Fali is outstanding in far too many respects that most do not know. ❤

Brilliant. Thanks.

Ranjan Gogoi is not eminent judge but an agent of BJP which we came to know after his retirement. When many eminent judges talk about Basic Structure of the Constitution, Ex CJI Ranjan Gogoi is against the Basic Structure of the Constitution. Very alarming for Indian Constitution and democracy.

Thanks to you, Sir... Living Legend conversations at the Era of Godi Media.... Journalism - "Jindda Haa..." Keep it up ❤❤❤

Dear Mr.Karan, This was a fantastic and honest take on the state of affairs in India now. It's not easy to correct without first being convinced that we ahouls should change. One key takeaway about the Nehru years and Vajpayee years couldn't have been a better example. Dear Mr.Fali Nariman was outstanding in his candor and frankness in letting people know how we are looking like. Thank you

Unbelievable presence of mind and memory

Hey karan Thapar.. When I saw your interview with Modi jee when he finished with drinking water.. I was very upset with your way of asking the question.. but for last many years - I realised that you are a genuine person and you were doing great.. and you were always great. - Actually your way is the right way to ask the questions. Heartiest respect for my side to you..

The interview by Karan Thapar and the response from the respected Fali S Nariman is a guiding light to me. I have just pre-ordered his book which is not available now.

Excellent discussion. Hats off to Nariman and Karen.

Karan Thapar is a excellent journalist. Articulate and wise. Thorough professional in every topic and better than a learned advocate. It’s a pleasure watching him interview such highly acclaimed personalities. Proud of you sir. I salute you

Ours is a wounded democracy. Except for once in a while periodic on-cue voting, participation in the everyday functioning of democracy is all but excluded from most of the people, most of the time.

Hats off to Nariman for his honest opinion at a trying time for the nation and its citizenry where attempts are being made to amend the constitution for the benefit of a few

Huge respect for KARAN THAPAR SIR ❤🇮🇳

Simply superb 🎯💯

The most notable case in this context is that of Tlthe former CJI Justice Ranganath Mishra, who was appointed chairman of the National Human Rights Commission after his retirement in 1992. He became a member of the Rajya Sabha in 1998 as a Congress member; he had earlier headed the commission of inquiry into the riots in the capital following Indira Gandhi’s assassination.

In the contemporary scene it is Mr Ranjan Gogoi who claimed his reward of a Rajya Sabha seat for judgements favourable to this government, climaxing with the Ayodhya case wherein he contradicted himself. And now trots out similar opinions, as in the Delhi government case & on the structure of the Constitution.

Very scintillating critical analysis delivered by respected Fali Nariman is commendable!!

Thanks

Thanks for the interview. The observation during the course of the interview that the “coalition” governments will better protect the constitution rather than the “majoritarian “ governments. is iindeed true. But it will be so at the cost of stability which is also equally important for the progress of the country.

Brilliant...we need these kind of interviews one which speaks the facts instead of blindly critical of Modi which we usually see in Wire.

I lack expression for this wonderful discussion by the great legal luminary and brilliant Karan sir. It is the best time we spend when we listen to his conversations. Freshening enlightening educating and much more

I wish our fellow Indian citizens would watch these type of exchanges rather than all the trash seen on mainstream news channels

Everyone in the world and not just India should be hearing this interview. Thank you wire for publishing this.

Great personality

"We" has a completely different meaning for the present rulers. We had taught about Gandhiji, Nehru and many prominent leaders of yesteryear respectfully as grandfathers to our kids. But can the most "so called" powerful Indian PM today be taught to kids as such. Highly questionable!!! Here lies the real meaning for "We".

'We' is indeed different for Modi when compared to Gandhi and Nehru. Gandhi's last fast was for putting pressure to release 55 Crore rupees funds to Pakistan. Nehru didn't adhere to the Nehru-Liaquat Pact and see that the population exchange happens to the full like Dr Ambedkar strongly advocated for. Crores of Hindus have suffered unspeakable atrocities in Pakistan, and Modi brought about CAA to address that. "We" is different now indeed.

The original Constitution had illustrations of Lord Rama, Krishna and Buddha. These illustrations were by famed artist Shri Nandalal Bose. Subsequently someone tampered with the Constitution and deliberately reprinted the Constitution without these illustrations. Had the illustrations retained nobody would have questioned the rebuilding of Ram Temple in Ayodhya.

Excellent replies from the most learned jurist.

What a brilliant, Informative Interview utmost clarity & honesty. I really salute Mr, Nariman for expressing his visionary views so humbly & Mr, Thapar for Conducting the interview with utmost Professionally & provokingly as usual to get the best out of interview. After hearing this interview , current Governance nothing but Banana Republic type of Governance.

Always a great learning just listening to Mr Nariman 🙏

Great!

Lovely 😊

Possibly, the road to autocracy , globally, is getting paved by accelerating inequality & concentration of wealth in the hands of few because all the lofty terms of constitution (viz equality,fraternity, justice) do not apply to the underlying economy of the country

Well covered interview. Thanks Karan

Commendable

Mr. Nariman, I appeal to you to take up the cause of a common man. I, as a citizen, am not entertained by the bureaucracy to redress my grievance. The bureaucracy doesn't reply or take action on my grievance. There is no "Citizen Charter" even after 75 years of independence. Great people like you and Karan are silent all these years. You sit on judgement on issues that don't affect me directly. I agree it may affect me indirectly and in the long run.

Always loved your grilling questions.

Thanks Karan, certainly amongst one of your BEST.
