SeminarSummary: ENVIRONMENTAL governance and environmentalism in 21st century India has followed diverse paths marked by some enduring actors, manifestations of practice and underlying principles. A narrow but powerful telling of the history of Indian environmentalism refers to policy statements and legal outcomes traced to the 1970s – the acme of then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi’s personal style and approach to green activism – an amalgamation of a bold international stance that centred poverty within environment concern, and equally daring if not controversial national actions.1 She is credited with (or rather responsible for) ushering in several ‘green’ laws – each inflected with its own ideological flavour and values. These laws and the jurisprudence they spawned enshrined a range of transnational legal principles, that were and are meant to be anchored in constitutional provisions. – Reproduced
