Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday (6 September) expressed grief over the passing away of Kesavananda Bharati, a seer whose legal fight led to the Constitution's 'basic structure' doctrine.
The 79-year-old Bharati, the head of the Edneer Math in Kerala's Kasargod, passed away Sunday morning.
The case was heard by the largest ever SC bench of 13 judges for 68 days and holds the record for the longest hearing ever to have taken place. The hearing in the case started on 31 October 1972 and concluded on 23 March 1973.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
