It is where my home lies.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFew lawyers have shaped India's constitutional landscape as consistently, fearlessly, and passionately as Indira Jaising. For over fifty years, she has stood on the frontlines of the country's most consequential legal battles, compelling the law to reckon with the harsh realities of gender inequality, state violence, and institutional neglect. In \u003ci\u003eThe Constitution Is My Home\u003c\/i\u003e, Jaising looks back upon her remarkable life in law and activism through an engaging dialogue with Ritu Menon. Together, they explore the landmark cases that defined her career: Mary Roy’s fight for equal inheritance, Rupan Deol Bajaj’s pursuit of justice against sexual harassment, the \u003ci\u003eOlga Tellis\u003c\/i\u003e case recognizing the livelihood rights of pavement dwellers, the challenge to triple talaq in \u003ci\u003eShayara Bano\u003c\/i\u003e, the long advocacy for victims of the Bhopal Gas Tragedy, and the Sabarimala case defending women's right to worship. Unsparing, deeply political, and razor-sharp in its observations on the present political landscape and the judiciary, this memoir is both a vital historical record of resistance and an inspiring call to hold fast to the republic's founding promises.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Features \u0026amp; Benefits:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIconic Authorship:\u003c\/b\u003e Written by Senior Advocate Indira Jaising—one of India's most trailblazing legal minds—in conversation with renowned feminist publisher and author Ritu Menon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLandmark Case Insights:\u003c\/b\u003e Offers firsthand reflections on monumental Indian legal battles concerning women's rights, human rights, labor, and social justice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVital Political \u0026amp; Legal Commentary:\u003c\/b\u003e Provides a profound perspective on India's evolving constitutional history, democracy, and judicial accountability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Perfect Gift:\u003c\/b\u003e An essential, highly inspiring present for law students, legal professionals, political scientists, human rights advocates, and readers of impactful memoirs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BEETLE BOOK SHOP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52730323501339,"sku":null,"price":594.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/2150\/0699\/files\/81e2MarocTL._SL1500.jpg?v=1785910428","url":"https:\/\/beetlebookshop.com\/products\/the-constitution-is-my","provider":"Beetle Book Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
