Ex-CJI Chandrachud Discusses Sovereignty, Tariffs at Meghalaya Event
Imagine India buying oil from a country that sells it at a good price.
Now, a different country, like the US, wants to tell India where it can buy oil from and even make it more expensive.
This is what the former Chief Justice of India, Chandrachud, talked about.
He said this challenges India's freedom to make its own choices.
He also spoke about how important it is to protect India’s different cultures and encourage young people to build a stronger nation.
Former CJI Chandrachud spoke at Meghalaya High Court's Independence Day celebration.
He called the US potentially imposing a 50% tariff on Indian oil imports from Russia a new challenge to sovereignty.
Chandrachud emphasized the need to safeguard India’s diversity and channel youth's entrepreneurial energy.
He noted judges play a vital role in healing societal wounds through empathy.
Chandrachud praised the Meghalaya High Court as a 'sentinel of governance'.
