 Sanjeev Sanyal: Judiciary now India’s Biggest Roadblock to Viksit Bharat  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOiUGzJL_-Q Sep 22, 2025
In his speech at Nyaya Nirmaan 2025, Sanjeev Sanyal, member of the Prime Minister’s Economic Advisory Council, makes bold claims about India’s legal system — calling it the single biggest hurdle in the way of Viksit Bharat. He critiques long court-vacations, unnecessary procedural delays like pre-litigation mediation, colonial legal language (“my lord”, “prayer”) and outdated norms in the judiciary.
 hear directly what he proposes — reforms, modernisation, and who needs to step up.
 What needs to change: Courts, Bar, Language Why this matters:
• India aims to become a developed economy (Viksit Bharat) by 2047 — but judicial inefficiencies are dragging progress.
• Delays in contract enforcement, long court vacations, and archaic practices cost time, money and trust.
• Sanyal argues reforms can’t wait — legal culture, language, procedures, everything needs overhaul.
