This obituary for Justice RBG reflects on her global impact as a "crusader for gender equality." Baxi highlights her "jurisprudence of dissent," where she spoke truth to power when the majority court turned regressive. He describes her as a "sentinel on the qui vive" for civil liberties. The article emphasizes that Ginsburg’s legacy belongs to all democracies, including India, as her work influenced the global understanding of "equal protection of the laws." Baxi calls for judges to emulate her "intellectual integrity" and her unwavering belief that "justice must always triumph" over prejudice and tradition. In India Legal.
