Triple Talaq - Examining Faith

............................................................................................................................
Description
THE GENRE OF THIS BOOK IS AN UNUSUAL ONE. PEOPLE OFTEN write about great social and political events they have been a part of, or indeed, watched from a position of proximate advantage—what is described as the 'ringside view'. I have known of many such short recollections of authors regarding landmark cases, such as the late senior advocate T. Andhyarujina's account of his participation in the Kesavananda Bhaiati case,1 brilliantly argued by Nani Palkhivala. The Constitution Bench sitting in the Triple Talaq matter—as it has come to be known—may not turn out to be equally monumental. However, in some ways, it nevertheless has enormous potential to make an impact on how Indians of all hues, especially Muslims, will approach the subject of political rights, particularly religious beliefs and constitutional guarantees of minorities' rights.
