Judicial Comedy & Civilian Tragedy
When the Supreme Court of India is Your Father-in-Law, Sons-in-Law Are in No-Fault Liability
The judiciary, once the last refuge of the oppressed, has now become the architect of a silent oppressor—one that punishes men not for their crimes, but for their gender, for commitment to marriage and family. In today’s India, if you are a man, and you dare to marry, you do so under the shadow of a sword: one blade is alimony, the other, imprisonment. And the hand that wields this sword is not your estranged spouse—it is the Supreme Court itself.
Indian Judicial jurisprudence has become crippled—where once stood protectors of justice, now remain mere preachers of moral doctrine. It is time we present these judgments before the people and ask: are these verdicts of law or scripts of satire? Injustice has been masqueraded as justice, and persecution paraded as protection. Have the robes and gowns become mere costumes for a judicial theatre—staging the grand performance of a “Judicial Comedy and Public Tragedy”?
This book undertakes a critical examination of selected Supreme Court judgments where the principles of equality, equity, and fairness appear to have been subordinated to judicial bias and ideologically skewed reasoning. It highlights instances where judgments, instead of upholding constitutional ideals, have been influenced by prejudiced rationale—cloaked occasionally in token expressions of concern that seem more perfunctory than principled. The Supreme Court, through decades of unchecked discretion and convenient silence, has created a legal monster—a Frankenstein of family law where truth is irrelevant, and manhood is evidence of guilt.
And when the institution entrusted to deliver justice becomes the source of injustice—what hope remains?
Democracy Stolen: When Constitution of India Spoke in Honest English
What if the Constitution stopped pretending to be polite? What if it spoke like a citizen who had seen too much and trusted too little?
When the Constitution of India Spoke in Honest English – Democracy: Stolen is a bold, satirical reimagining of the Indian Constitution — stripped of legalese, clothed in wit, and soaked in uncomfortable truths.
Each Article is translated into a language the common citizen can finally understand — part poetry, part protest, and entirely unapologetic. From Fundamental Rights gasping under exceptions, to Governors moonlighting as political pawns, from emergency powers abused in daylight to amendments passed like shopping lists — this book doesn’t rewrite the Constitution, it makes it confess.
Written by Mahendra Nath Sarkar, a student of law and a witness to systemic silence, this work is part memoir, part manifesto. It is both tribute and rebellion — for those who still believe that satire is not disrespect, but a deeper form of patriotism.
If you’ve ever read the Constitution and felt confused, betrayed, or numb — this book is your second reading. And maybe, your first understanding.
