Reply to comment by YagaDillon in "Two-Finger Test To Confirm Rape Patriarchal, Sexist": Indian Supreme Court by dynamicEntr0py

Out of the Superme Court, Indian Judiciary isn't all that great and even for Supreme Court, there has been a tussle over the appointment of judges between the existing judiciary and the government. The election of these judges is fairly complicated and requires both the government and the judiciary to work hand in hand.

The primary reason why you find Indian Judiciary coming up with really progressive judgements is because of DY Chandrachud. He is also the upcoming Chief Justice and over all, seems to be a really fantastic guy.

But all judges including Chandrachud are sons and daughters of previous Supreme Court judges. They appoint each other within a clique. Chandrachud has studied in Harvard and has ambitions of applying the woke identity methodologies to Indian scenario without any serious original research on local context. So he definitely appears to be “progressive” as defined by academics in the US university
