5th Justice Ranade Memorial Lecture

 

What happened to India’s indigenous courts? Why were traditional schools and learning networks sidelined? Who decided what knowledge was “modern” and what was “backward”?

Was this reform—or control? Progress—or replacement?

And how much of that colonial reset still shapes our minds today?

Watch Meenakshi Jain unpack how British rule undermined India’s justice and education—and why this history cannot be ignored.
