Kesavananda Bharati vs State of Kerala (1973)

Arre, this case changed the way we look at constitutional law. Kesavananda Bharati was a sage from Kerala who wanted to acquire 500 acres of land for his temple. The government tried to take it back, so he went to the SC. The court was like, "Hey, we'll let you have the land, but we have to define what we can and can't amend in the Constitution." And that's when they came up with the Fundamental Rights amendment, which said that only Parliament can amend certain parts of the Constitution.

Now, here's the catch - it created a sliding scale of intent. Some say it was a victory for the Constitution, while others say it was a clever move by Parliament to control the judiciary. What do you guys think? Was it a win for the people or a power play by the government?
