Abstract
Baxi examines debates surrounding judicial activism, questioning whether expanded judicial intervention undermines democracy or revitalizes it. The essay situates activism within constitutional practice, public interest litigation, and institutional legitimacy, resisting simplistic judgments. Published in Social Action, Vol. 47, pg 341-357.
