N Ram says basic structure blocks RSS constitutional aims
The Hindu··26 Jul

He framed the judiciary's basic structure limit as a barrier to majoritarian revisions of secular and federal principles. The remarks sit inside wider debates on constitutional amendment, uniform civil code proposals and opposition warnings about institutional erosion.
