This book provides a comprehensive narrative of the working of the Supreme Court of India. It assesses the collective strength and fragility of the Supreme Court as an institution of governance. The author traces the establishment of the Supreme Court of India and studies its role vis-a-vis the Constitution, examining the challenges which the court has had to face in nearly six decades. Covering areas such as rule of law, human rights, personal liberty, secularism, gender justice, rights of minorities, etc., the author analyses the various judgments given by the Supreme Court, highlighting where it has failed or faultered and where its role has been exemplary. He also examines the Indian Judiciary's relations with the Executive and the Legislature and studies the manner in which the constitution was amended from time to time, critically examining the 'objective' and 'purpose' of these amendments. The author also critically examines the judgments of the court dealing with the appointment and transfer of judges, arguing that independence of the Judiciary is not a luxury but a constitutional imperative, necessary to sustain and stabilize democracy.

A NOTE FROM MARGO BALDWIN, President and Publisher, Chelsea Green Publishing 
“Naomi Wolf’s Outrages is a vitally important book to publish right now, not just because of its literary scholarship, which is superb, but because it speaks so clearly to the present societal moment. It’s a moment that is incredibly dangerous, a potential turning point when marginalized people and groups are targeted, silenced and often jailed. It’s a time when information counter to the official narrative is censored and erased from the public sphere, when books and articles and even scientific research are banned and labeled as “fake news” or “dangerous misinformation.” Outrages shows what happens when a society, in this case Victorian England, becomes obsessed with contagion and impurity and criminalizes “immoral” acts and “dangerous” ideas. . . . Read it and weep, not just for those who suffered in a distant Victorian time but for those who suffer still from the draconian laws that era produced and which are still in effect all over the world today.”
