Madras High Court Judge GR Swaminathan shared how a wrongful conviction changed his view on Vedas. He said, “When we protect the Vedas, the Vedas will protect us.”
Justice Pankaj Mittal advocates for the “Indianisation” of justice, proposing that Lady Justice’s statue holds the Gita, Vedas, and Puranas alongside the Constitution. This reflects a shift towards Indian identity, emphasizing recent judicial changes like translations of judgments and the reimagining of symbols. Legal education, he notes, should foster empathy and creativity.
