Think India is a pan-India initiative to bring together the best talents of the country and to infuse in
them a ‘Nation First’ attitude, aimed at developing the nationalistic spirit and inspiring young India to
be of service to society. It aims to bring the best minds of the country and the Leaders of Tomorrow on
one platform to discuss and deliberate upon issues of national importance.
Think India organizes a National Symposium every year since 2017 on Landmark Cases of the
concerned year to stimulate legal awareness in Law students, Researchers and Professionals. We are
pleased to announce 4th edition of its flagship program 4th National Symposium on Landmark
Judgments of 2020 scheduled for 9th-10th January 2021.
The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd National Symposiums organized in the past talked about sensitive issues like Right
to Privacy, Triple Talaq, Seeking vote in name of religion, Marital Rape, Decriminalization of Section
377 of IPC, Gender equality and Adultery, Live streaming of Court proceedings, Ayodhya Verdict,
CJI’s office under the purview of RTI Act, NRC (National Register for Citizens) of India, and so on.
The purpose behind organizing all the previous editions of national symposium is to explain the law
interpreted by Courts in India. It aims to bring conceptual clarity in the young minds about the law and
impact of judicial pronouncements. Only the conceptual clarity of such issues will enable young minds
to form their own opinions and to achieve the basic legal awareness one must have.

landmark judgments:
