In conversation with Asha Achi Joseph, Colin Gonsalves argues that political interference by the ruling party at the Centre has reached alarming levels over the past 11 years, undermining the independence of the judiciary. He says that women seeking justice are often failed by a system influenced by political power. Emphasizing the need for collective action, Gonsalves advocates large-scale, non-violent public mobilization as the most effective path for women to secure timely justice.
