TIL, No judge has ever been impeached in the entire history of independent India

In the entire history of independent India, not a single judge has ever been successfully impeached, prosecuted, or convicted. Let that sink in. We’ve had judges with allegations way worse than anything Judge Rita Kaushik is accused of—stuff like land grabbing and even sexual misconduct. And yet, nothing. Judicial accountability in this country is a joke. It’s completely broken. And don’t even get me started on the nepotism. The judiciary is second only to politics when it comes to keeping things “in the family.” It’s a whole club, and if you’re not in it, you don’t matter. Judges right now seem to be the most untouchable people in terms of power and accountability. They’re practically gods. It’s infuriating to see how this institution, which is supposed to uphold justice, operates with zero checks and balances on itself. Also, almost every Judge that “resigned” in disgrace due to any allegations is bow a politician. Man what a broken system.
