AG Noorani: Man who reminded us of the values that make nations great

New Indian Express  

The principles that guided Noorani often had him swim against the tide of public opinion. What use the freedom of thought and expression unless one could articulate unpopular views anchored in fairness? I got to know A G Noorani through my father at a time when both were terribly distressed by Indira Gandhi’s phoney Emergency, and assault on the judiciary and civil liberties. Always immaculately dressed, with an aquiline nose enhancing his dignified presence, ‘Noorani kaka’, as he was known in our home, was a wonderful raconteur. The toolkit comprising the fundamental rights under our Constitution meant more writing, more analysis and ever greater industry to expose mendacity—all to remind readers of the values that make nations great.
