History will remember this moment as a warning: when those sworn to protect the Constitution instead become its most reckless saboteurs, the whole edifice trembles.
Let’s be clear: Dhankhar’s public denouncement of the Supreme Court’s use of Article 142 – calling it a “nuclear missile against democratic forces” – is not just wrong, it is unconstitutional."

I liked the clarity of the narrative, though the cheery optimism at the end was a bit of a put off. The darker approach to the needed attitude resonates more with the moment: "Palestinians cannot afford the luxury of despair!"

Disappointed to see you quote such alarmist figures @ShashiTharoor . Sporadic violence is a reality but 75% faced physical violence? Which study, survey? Unfair to millions of ordinarycitizens facing challenge of accessing decent healthcare with tolerance acceptance & gratitude.
