Superbly researched this book by Abhinav Chandrachud is a must read. - Madhavi Goradia Divan Additional Solicitor General in the Supreme Court of India. How does a Parsi lawyer deeply influenced by the principles of Roman Catholicism fall in love with a Bahí¡í­ and go on to become the Attorney General of India for a Hindu nationalist BJP government? How does a boy with a broken leg who studied in a Gujarati-medium school and lost his father at the age of nineteen go on to mount a heroic defense of the Janata governments decision to dissolve Congress state legislatures (in 1977) in the Supreme Court? How does a newspaper columnist who admires Nehru who criticizes the BJP for being obsessed with demolishing mosques and advises them to replace Hindutva with Bharatva or Indianness get chosen by Prime Minister Vajpayee to represent the government in the Supreme Court in many cases including the Ayodhya case? How does a lawyer with a humdrum customs and excise law practice whose grandfather sold horsedrawn carriages in Bombay become a U.N. human rights rapporteur and repeatedly defend the fundamental right to free speech and expression in the Supreme Court of India?. Definitive comprehensive and absolutely unputdownable this first biography of Soli Sorabjee opens a window into the life and times of one of Indias foremost constitutional experts.

There are a series of false notions about secularism in India that have come to penetrate our consciousness so deeply that slaying them becomes significant, especially in these times. To do so, though, it's important to marshal our facts carefully. To that end, Abhinav Chandrachud's fine new book, Republic of Religion: The Rise and Fall of Colonial Secularism in India offers an excellent resource. The HinduAbhinav Chandrachud is an advocate who practises at the Bombay High Court. He graduated from the LL.M. program at Harvard Law School where he was a Dana Scholar, and from the JSM and JSD programs at Stanford Law School where he was a Franklin Family Scholar. He has worked as an associate attorney at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, a global law firm. He is the author of Republic of Rhetoric: Free Speech and the Constitution of India (2017) and Supreme Whispers: Conversations with Judges of the Supreme Court of India 1980-1989 (2018). He has also written for several leading newspapers in India including The Hindu, Indian Express and Times of India, and taught at Cornell Law School and NALSAR University of Law.
