Fali Nariman, who is widely considered India’s greatest living expert on the constitution, says: “The Opposition is the most important part of the Parliament” and it is its duty to “attack the government and individual ministers” but, he adds, “the Opposition has no right to obstruct in the sense of making parliament barren or unproductive”. Mr. Nariman has also said that the situation today is like the emergency of 1975 except behind a veil. However, he agreed that one critical difference between the situation today and during the Emergency of Indira Gandhi’s time is that today there’s an anti-muslim, anti-minority mood prevailing, if not increasing, in the country. Mr. Nariman said this “does not gel with India’s prominence in world affairs”.

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.
True, Justice Krishna Iyer was a legend!
He was real legend and a fantastic humanitarian...❤❤❤🎉
Wow he's 94! He's so coherent...mind body fully in shape and functioning wonderfully. My best wishes for his century ❤
Thank you Karanji
May God preserve him
We need a group of Karan Thapar...pls sir you give your skills in your junior...
an absolute privilege to watch this exchange and to know that the insight of this intelligent and courageous Jurist will be retained for generations to come
Totally agree, and very well put.🙏
This guy is 94 years old and still this sharp. 😮
Hats off to you sir. 🫡
Allahumma Barik.
Thanks to Covid vaccination developed within a year by the Modi government. It is always a pleasure to receive a criticism from a former Supreme Court judge knowing fully well his life was extended thanks to domestic vaccine!
@@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.
@@chander3338 wow!!! I thought the vaccine was invented by the brilliant scientists and Modi's only contribution was pasting his photographs on the vaccination certificate.
@@chander3338 ohhh...He was in Singapore during pandemic.
Mr.Karan, as Indians, we are very fortunate that there is a journalist like you still breaking the chains of lies and division brought by the forces of extremism. Hope you expose all the faults and problems in our country! ❤
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.
Mr Gogoi has sold his soul he is not worth it 😊
An enlightening discussion from which one learns a lot . Thanks to Mr Fali Nariman and Mr Karan
Thapar .
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
Congratulations to Mr. Karan Thapar also for conducting an equally good session with such an imminent legal illuminary 👍👌
Full marks to Mr. Karan for framing questions in such a way that outstanding answers are extracted
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 !

Soli Sorabjee & Fali Nariman were neutral only when congress was in power but when bjp came to power Sorabjee caved in to the lure of the office of Solicitor general and this time it was Fali whose son got appointed as judge to the Supreme Court…One just can’t recall Fali arguing against this present dispensation in any case although there were many instances particularly of abuse of human rights and freedom of speech wherein Fali could have taken on this government…..

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.
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. Every educated person know that in federal Structure of India, how one can say one Nation one Election. In fact, Modi and RSS have different motive like Presidential Form of Govt.
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.
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.
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.
Any judgement in favour of a particular Hindus you cry foul on judiciary and anything in favour of other religions then judiciary is impartial
Chara ghotala convicted Laluji out of Jail on health ground though roaming the country as active opposition leader and doing politics
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.
Today we have emergency! We have to stand up to this autocratic govt.
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
Very good interview. Thanks

@@RakeshKumar-lr8knrisk and intensity may vary. That is known to all good conscious educated one .
Really astonishing interview, you are a brave journalist. 🙏
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.
MOMIN VICTIM CARD OUT...😂😂😂
Never play victim card.
Brilliant!! Great to listen to Nariman!! Thank you Karan!
All the brilliant people of this country feels terribly bad about whatever wrong is happening in our country but Modi just doesn't understand it. Very sad and unfortunate.
49:23 I do agree with you ...still I would word it differently...he Does NOT WANT TO understand it !
Thank you Karan Thapar to bring this valuable knowledge in front of Indian citizens, for those who don't know that we have our constitution. YOU MUST KNOW YOUR CONSTITUTION.
These interviews are desperately needed in Hindi and other local languages
Fali is outstanding in far too many respects that most do not know. ❤
Thanks to you, Sir... Living Legend conversations at the Era of Godi Media.... Journalism - "Jindda Haa..." Keep it up ❤❤❤
A good class for all Indian citizens and politicians
Absolutely correct ! Well said !!
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.
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.
Excellent interview as usual dear Karan! Justice Nairman answered many questions I had in my mind! If only all the parties and the SC did their part😭😭😭
Justice Nariman ,
??? ... He is Senior Nariman Senior Advocate of SC ... Not justice RF Nariman (Who is his son ..)🙄🙄
Excellent interview. It is a pleasure to watch and listen to 2 very knowledgeable person interacting with each other on equal footing. Hope the people in the judiciary,the govt and the opposition watch this interview for the benefit of of us, the citizens of the country.
Thanks Karan.
Judges are spineless, they support the government for want of a Raja Sabha post post retirement.
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. The commission exonerated the Congress party in the 1984 carnage against Sikhs.
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.
Yes, ...
Supreme court judges sold over to government
They are members from, the cross section of current society.
Very good,enjoyed .
The book should be translated into all state languages and widely distributed.
and made very inexpensive
Correct.
Absolutely delightful interview. Mr Nariman- a gentleman indeed!
Brilliant. Thanks.
Hi Karan, please correct me if I am wrong but the word used by you " Occasional Nobel Laureate " should be " Occasionally a Nobel laureate also".
Thanks a lot "The Wire" team and Karan Sir for bringing legendry Nariman Sir to enlighten Indians.
No Words left to appreciate you all.
May god bless these two wonderful person with long life 100+ to save Indian democracy and enlighten one more generation.
Very enlightening! Hope leaders of the ruling dispensation listen this and introspect.
This incredible magnificent interview of The Legend Of Law , Honourable Falli Nariman , has been taken by The Legend Of Journalism , Honourable Karan Thapar Sir, the adjudicating duet , acquire the acme to put the jewel 💎 on The Crown 👑 Of Constitutional Democracy ⚖️ The Judiciary ⚖️ Satyamev Jayate ⚖️🇮🇳✌️
Great soul of Indian legal fraternity.....RIP🙏❤🌸🌸
It was a fine conversation...Pure class...
Huge respect for KARAN THAPAR SIR ❤🇮🇳
Excellent discussion. Hats off to Nariman and Karen.
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

The commission exonerated the Congress party in the 1984 carnage against Sikhs.
Unbelievable presence of mind and memory
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.
"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.
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..
Thanks!
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
A pure pleasure to watch ❤❤
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.
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
Very scintillating critical analysis delivered by respected Fali Nariman is commendable!!
Simply superb 🎯💯
Always a great learning just listening to Mr Nariman 🙏
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
Everyone in the world and not just India should be hearing this interview. Thank you wire for publishing this.
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.
Lovely interview.
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.
Thanks
Highly Commendable Great Thought Great people Great job History Writing
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 fully agree with Fali Nariman and agree with his one specific view. If the Constitution were to function rightly without pro Govt Judges then JUDGES themselves have to ensure that nothing is done against the Constitution by the Govt, and they must act fearlessly and independently. Judges must also stand up for their own rights which is not practiced at present.
Great!
Thought provoking and learning
The best ever interview I've watched intently in my all 51years!
Excellent discussion where all topics connected with constitution were discussed threadbare
Excellent interview
I wish our fellow Indian citizens would watch these type of exchanges rather than all the trash seen on mainstream news channels
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.
Excellent conversation
Excellent questions beautifully put forward, well answered to most, diplomatically diverted few.
Each new interview is better than the previous. Absolutely amazing and erudite 👏.
Thank you sir
Lovely 😊
Thank you media respected sir he told very perfect relevant information nicely given 🙏his foot 🦶 thank you sir one election one nation Means not taking or intrupt any system of constitution or states structure and relations not trouble that it is trying may siut reduce money time and values of all and all protect by this. Thank you and another matter of opposition parties essential like our country but their role is following our constitutional way but not follow when they feel opposition means opposition then Government not move on that goles people not loss of their service rights thank you
Autocracy versus democracy ..its only when we loose freedom we will begin to value what we lost .being under the control of one leader for every thing starting from schooling to marriage to life in general is unimaginable. corruption is economic in nature while autocracy will take away our basic nature of human being to be free ..we need to appreciate democracy we cant leave our future generation without freedom to grow and prosper.unfortunate
Very well expressed!
Great job Sir 🙏
Thanks Karan, certainly amongst one of your BEST.
This was gold. Thank you.
Excellent
Always loved your grilling questions.
Well covered interview. Thanks Karan
Excellent replies from the most learned jurist.
Very educative.🎉
Great interview and great answers
An eye opening insight to the ' We the people of India i.e. Bharat '
All of us Indians cannot read the constitution in its numerous volumes. But your incisive questions and Judge Fariman's candid answers are eye opening as to the state of our nation.
Not to forget a lucid introduction to our living constitution as Judge Nariman call it.
This gentleman is so sharp, articulated , alert at 94 😱😱
Mind blowing.......
Remarkable
Wow what an interview! So high in quality. Hoping to see more of these which ultimately educate the audience.
