the country has still not learnt to appreciate wholly the roles assigned by the Constitution to each institution. CJI Ramana was speaking at a felicitation organised by the Association of Indian Americans in San Francisco.
“It is the vigorously promoted ignorance among the general public which is coming to the aid of such forces whose only aim is to run down the only independent organ. i.e., the judiciary. Let me make it clear. We are answerable to the Constitution and Constitution alone,” He added that “to enforce checks and balances envisioned in the Constitution, we need to promote constitutional culture in India. We need to spread awareness about the roles and responsibilities of individuals and institutions. Democracy is all about participation”.

"Parties Wrongly Believe that the judiciary should endorse their actions, and causes ...": Chief Justice NV Ramana On Judiciary https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXzdeeHAYRo Jul 3, 2022 Chief Justice of India NV Ramana on Saturday said people need to focus on issues that unite the country and not on those that divide it. "Inclusivity strengthens unity in society, which is key to peace and progress. We need to focus on issues that unite us. Not on those that divide us. In the 21st century, we cannot allow petty, narrow and divisive issues to dictate human and societal relationships. We have to rise above all the divisive issues to remain focused on human development. A non-inclusive approach is an invitation to disaster," Chief Justice Ramana said.
