Here, the speaker expresses his concern at the sharp rise in theocratic, traditionalist judges who consider religion, and not the constitution, to be the source of the law. He adds that this is the first phase of a two-part strategy to establish a Hindu Rashtra by 2047. According to him, instead of discarding the Constitution, the goal is to present it as a Hindu document. He believes the first step for this is to appoint judges who see theological texts as the source of the law, instead of the Constitution. And the second phase, which he says is set to start now, is to appoint judges who will identify the source. He predicts that once this goal is achieved in the next 24 years, India will become a Hindu theocracy by re-interpreting the same Constitution. He adds that the idea is to hijack the judiciary and establish a Hindu theocracy. Later in the video, the speaker says that the present government, whose explicit mission is to establish a Hindu Rashtra, should not be allowed any role in judicial appointments, and the collegium system must be protected. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While sharing this video, it is being claimed that the man in the viral clip is Sundaresh Menon, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Singapore.
