India, like many countries, faces democratic backsliding. In the newest episode of the RevDem Rule of Law podcast, assistant editor Gaurav Mukherjee talks to Tarunabh Khaitan (Head of Research at the Bonavero Institute of Human Rights at the University of Oxford, Professor of Public Law and Legal Theory at the Faculty of Law, Fellow at Mansfield College, and Honorary Professorial Fellow at the Melbourne Law School) about his recent work on the phenomenon of democratic backsliding in India, the rise of an unchecked executive, and the role that courts and opposition parties play in protecting democracy.

In Conversation with Tarunabh Khaitan: Checking the Ascendant Executive in India

What is the role of the scholar in democracy? It is my pleasure to speak with Professor Tarunabh Khaitan, Vice Dean of Oxford’s Faculty of Law, about the part scholarship has to play in institutional reform. We discuss his pioneering work on discrimination law, the dangers of subtle power, and the health and future of Indian democratic institutions.

#4 The role of the scholar in democracy with Professor Tarunabh Khaitan

Interviewed by Rahul Bajaj (India &amp; Linacre 2018), Tarunabh Khaitan speaks about the relationship between the activist and the scholar, the Indian Law Review, and what gives him hope about the rule of law and legal academia.  Tarunabh is Professor of Public Law &amp; Legal Theory at Oxford University and the Hackney Fellow in Law at Wadham College. He helped draft the Indian Anti-Discrimination and Equality Bill 2017. His research on discrimination law has been quoted and relied upon by the Indian Supreme Court. He writes regularly for newspapers and blogs and in 2018, was awarded the Letten Prize, an award given biennially to a young researcher under the age of 45 conducting excellent research of great social relevance. He is using a part of the award towards setting up the Indian Equality Law Programme, aimed at capacity-building for early career scholars. Rhodes to Law is a series that sheds light on the career trajectories, personal stories and experiences of Rhodes Scholars who have gone on to attain distinction in the legal profession. We hope that this interview series will serve as a valuable resource for those interested in the law generally and Rhodes Scholars, past present and future, considering a career in the law.
