NAGPUR:

Democracy

is being reshaped by

new technologies

and changing social dynamics, CJI Sanjiv Khanna pointed out Saturday while urging law graduates to use their degrees as tools for

social change

.
Justice Khanna was speaking at the third convocation of Maharashtra National Law University in Nagpur. "Today, we face challenges our predecessors could have hardly imagined. Climate change threatens not just the environment but the very fabric of human rights and social justice," he said.
"

Digital revolution

raises unprecedented questions about privacy, security, and nature of human interaction. These aren't just abstract problems but fundamental challenges to humanity and liberty that demand innovative solutions," he added.
Sharing insights with the graduates, he said not all disputes were suited for courts and litigations. He asserted that mediation was the mode for redressal as it offered creative solutions beyond simple yes or no answers and strengthened relationships.
