The Court That Shaped a Nation

India's Supreme Court stands as more than a legal institution - it's the architect of social change in a nation where tradition and progress constantly negotiate their boundaries. From protecting fundamental rights during emergencies to addressing religious tensions and socioeconomic inequalities, ten landmark judgments reveal how India's highest court has repeatedly risen to meet critical moments when other institutions faltered. These cases aren't merely legal precedents but reflections of India's deepest struggles, aspirations, and contradictions. When Parliament overreached, when executives abused power, when vulnerable communities needed protection - the Supreme Court stepped in as what many call "the last bastion of hope for the poor."
