I find it amazing and amusing at the same time that former Chief Justice Chandrachud is being lauded for the way he came across in his recent BBC Hardtalk interview. Truth is, Chandrachud was an unmitigated disaster. Notwithstanding that he was economical with the truth on clannism, PoW, Rahul's conviction, nepotism, free speech, Chandrachud did not rebut or treat with contempt a single question, and every single question was a loaded one, meant to peddle a fake narrative, straight from the weather-beaten Darbari, Leftist playbook (Sackur foolishly gave it away a couple of times by quoting chauthi-fail dunderheads Bhushan and Dave, mistakenly thinking that would give credence to his arguments). On upholding liberty and natural justice, Chandrachud skirted the criminal behaviour of the Supreme court (and his own) on Nupur and the Kashmiri Hindus; On 370, Chandrachud did not even once lay out the moral obligation for the abrogation and how unjust and cruel to Dalits the State was to have enforced 370 for 70 years. On CAA, for example, Chandrachud could have absolutely destroyed the ill-informed and ignorant Sackur with seven irrefutable facts that make CAA a moral and ethical necessity, but he didn't and chose a tangential (and silly) track instead, probably because on CAA he holds the same ill-informed and ignorant position as does, well, another Chandrachud. The entire wretched interview, Chandrachud was fidgety and ill-prepared in a school-boyish way, wishing Sackur somehow appropriates him as a fellow clubber, and in the end hoping for his nightmare to end. It worries me that such a man was once our Chief Justice - and I haven't even come to his unscientific views on sex and gender. If the BBC's intention was to showcase a prominent and powerful Indian's daftness and fatuity to the world it did well to choose Chandrachud as an interviewee. By God, someone like J Sai would have chewed Sackur alive and spat out his polka-dotted tie then wiped his mouth with the back of his cuff and looked at the camera and smirked, this is the best you got you copper-plated jackasses?
