Can you sue the government in India?
Corporate lawyer and author Anand Prasad joins Cyrus Broacha to discuss one of the biggest structural flaws in India’s legal system — sovereign immunity.
From why you can’t easily sue a cop or government official, to the Enforcement Directorate’s unchecked power, to performance reviews for judges, gun laws, prostitution reform, and regulatory overkill — this episode dives deep into how India’s system works… and why it doesn’t.
Anand also talks about:
Why process matters more than outcome
Why India struggles with enforcement, not laws
The case for removing sovereign immunity
Gun control and citizen empowerment
Legalising prostitution as a safety reform
Why small entrepreneurs are crushed by licences
The pakoda seller regulatory trap
How to truly “Unshackle the Elephant”
This is a bold, unfiltered conversation about power, accountability, and whether Indians are truly free.
