The Indian Constitution: Conversations with Power. From Article 370 to Emergency Powers - A Critical Analysis of Centre-State Relations
In 2025, the Indian Constitution turned seventy-five years old. Ever-enduring, ever-evolving, it has been a terrain of tumultuous debate and dissent: in the nation’s courtrooms, upon its streets, and in the halls of Parliament. This talk will bring a new lens towards examining the Constitution: as a document that creates, shapes, channels, and constrains power. I will argue that the Constitution has been a battleground upon which different visions of power have contested for supremacy. For the most part, this contest has been marked by a centralizing drift: that is, a drift towards a concentration of power within the union executive. Elements of this are embedded within the Constitution’s design, but the drift has also been accelerated, at crucial historical moments, by Supreme Court judgments. The talk will interrogate whether, and to what extent, emancipation is possible under the structures established by such a Constitution.
