This text seeks to understand the dichotomy between the theory and practice of rule of law in India. The author argues that India's rule of law is unique in the post-colonial world encompassing many a substantive concept within it, contrary to the assertions of the liberals and thin theories. The practical challenges to the concepts of equality and certainty, both fundamental to rule of law, are explained in detail.
