In a conversation with Utkarsh Anand, justice Nagarathna delved into her judicial philosophy, the evolving role of women in the judiciary and the challenges faced by the justice system today.
Your impending tenure as the first woman Chief Justice of India is a historic milestone. How do you think your father's perspective on women in leadership might align with the strides you have made in breaking the glass ceiling?
As far as I am concerned, it is important for me to focus on how I reach that milestone rather than the milestone itself because one has to work for everything, and nothing comes free. How I am perceived in these years as a judge the kind of work I do, the dedication I exhibit - is more important to me than simply attaining that position, however short it may be. My father's life is a lesson for me, even though he passed away in 1997.
I think of him every day - both my parents. In moments of doubt, I always ask myself what my father would have done in the situation, and that becomes an important consideration for me.
With the distinction of being part of one of only two father-child duos to reach the position of Chief Justice of India, how do you reflect on this unique legacy, and what does it mean to you personally and professionally?
