| Summary: | The author takes a critical look at the Supreme Court of India's (SCI's) judgement and observations in M. Joshi's and R. Y. Prabhoo's cases about Hindutvu.

He observes that in matters concerning electoral law and appeal to religion also the SCI has had a varied record since 1964. (DÜI-Sen) |
