In the following video, Nani Palkhivala, one of India’s most prominent jurists and economists, explains the dangerous path Indian lawmakers took soon after independence.

Please refer to the following link for Palkhivala’s famous speech on the “Constitution and the Common Man” wherein he has discussed the importance of rule of law and property rights.
