Reimagine governance that corrects, rather than reproduces, historical disadvantage, says ex-CJI Gavai

Former Chief Justice of India B.R. Gavai called for a fundamental rethinking of governance models to ensure they address, rather than perpetuate, historical inequities.

Framing his address, with the relationship between development and equality within the Constitutional framework, he posed the questions: can development be sustainable if it does not incorporate substantive equality? Can the promise of equality be realised without addressing material and structural inequalities?
