Kesavananda Bharati vs State of Kerala is India’s most important legal judgement. In 2023, fifty years since it was pronounced, it continues to guide the country’s constitutional values and jurisprudence.  Season 2 pieces together the events in the run-up to the case, the verdict, and the events that followed from in-person interviews with surviving participants and family members, Anil Divan’s meticulous notes, court filings, personal memoirs and voluminous newspaper archives. Join us in Season 2 of Friend of the Court as we reconstruct the story and examine the impact of the basic structure judgement.  Credits Host: Raghu Karnad Research Manager: Ramya Boddupalli Research: Bhavya Dore, Ramya Boddupalli Legal Research: Aishwarya Chaturvedi Script writing: Bhavya Dore, Ramya Boddupalli Script Editor: Supriya Nair Producer: Gaurav Vaz Sound Design, Score & Title Track: Saachi Rajadhyaksha Mixing & Mastering: Ayan De Advisors: Lawrence Liang, Ranvir Singh, Shyam Divan and Vivek Divan
