The Azim Premji University in Bangalore recently conducted a fantastic conference on legal reform. Some members of this blog – Nick Robinson, Arun K Thiruvengadam and myself – were lucky enough to attend. As part of the event, Pratap Mehta delivered a public lecture at the National Gallery of Modern Art, Bangalore (as part of the Azim Premji University Public Lecture Series) on “The Rule of Law in a Developing Society”. The lecture – which was both deeply provoking as well as wide-ranging – is available here on youtube.
