The Speaking Constitution examines the ways in which the Constitution operates and how the concept of justice has evolved through the courts, charting a legal geography of civil liberties in India through the work of one of its most ardent activists. This book, which is an edited translation of the oral memoir given by barrister and human rights campaigner K.G. Kannabiran (1929?2010), is a reflection of Kannabiran's involvement in the Indian civil liberties movement as well as his lifetime struggle against the state. Kannabiran sheds light on human rights violations in courts across the nation as well as the radical possibilities the Cons represent, from Ansari Begum's deportation case in the wake of Partition to encounter deaths and custodial killings, the work of citizens' tribunals in the wake of the 2002 Gujarat massacre, the peace talks and negotiations between Naxalites and the Andhra Pradesh government, the highly divisive trial of Afzal Guru, and the issue of the death penalty. He creates a legal geography of the Indian civil rights movement in the process. The Speaking Constitution: A Sisyphean Life in Law is a richly detailed and perceptive chronicle of the development of Indian jurisprudence that weaves together personal history, courtroom drama, and political history.
