Indic Values Must be Incorporated into Law School Syllabus: Justice Dharmadhikari

Madras High Court Chief Justice SA Dharmadhikari stated that law school curricula must incorporate Indic values and ancient texts such as the Arthashastra and Manusmriti.

Speaking at an NLIU Bhopal conclave, the Judge observed that many NLU graduates are disconnected from their cultural roots and are primarily focused on financial success.

He argued that teaching Indian history and philosophy is essential to foster maturity and a sense of duty.

Justice Dharmadhikari further emphasized that the "Indianisation" of the legal system, including the new Lady Justice statue, marks a shift from colonial-era punishment to a justice-oriented mindset for the common man.
