#SupremeCourt REJECTS PIL filed by doctors' organization raising concerns about HPV vaccination for girls
Petitioner- Universal Health Organization: The way in which it is being implemented...there is no adverse event mechanism. Whenever there is adverse event, it has to be monitored. Secondly, there should be compensation scheme. It's being administered to girls of 14-15 years age...there are reports that it impacts their fertility
J Bagchi: WHO prescribes [HPV] vaccine for women. After that, I don't think doctors should come up with a petition. Wherever there's a case of incorrect vaccination, ordinary rules of compensation will apply. No special treatment for adverse impact in case of a particular vaccine
CJI: Don't ask us to make harsh observations. If petitioner members are doctors, it's a very very serious issue. It's a question of health of millions of our daughters. And you want to derail this.
I am pleased to share my latest article, “The Dialectic of Desi and Marga: Globalization, Cultural Entropy, and the Metamorphosis of India’s Regional Festivals.”
The article looks at the changing landscape of India’s regional festivals and the complex encounter between the local and the global. As festivals travel beyond their traditional geographies and acquire new audiences, how do we negotiate questions of cultural authenticity, memory, identity, and change?
Through the ideas of Desi and Marga, I try to examine this evolving relationship between rooted traditions and a rapidly globalising cultural landscape.
Would love to hear your thoughts.

Sharing my article, published in Organiser.
It highlights the exceptional work being done by the Ministry of Social Welfare in Uttar Pradesh and how by leveraging technology, a real digital renaissance is taking place through AI verification, the Family ID system, and automated pensions, ensuring benefits reach those who need them most.
Would love to hear your thoughts and opinions on this.

Under the Indian Constitution, the Executive and the Judiciary operate in distinct spheres. A political assurance or executive negotiation made outside the courtroom does not automatically bind or override an independent judicial bench. The Supreme Court adjudicates based on constitutional principles, statutory procedure, and material records before it.
Under criminal jurisprudence (governed by the BNSS / CrPC), law enforcement agencies have a statutory duty to investigate FIRs once registered. The court's direction permitting investigation to proceed is standard judicial procedure to ensure accountability, fair process, and public order.
Attributing political motives to interim directions in pending PILs undermines the integrity of constitutional institutions. The Supreme Court's mandate in public interest litigation is to balance individual rights with public safety and institutional accountability. The court cannot be expected to tailor its orders to informal political negotiations.

@ranvijaylive Obfuscating the facts and then using it as a tool to shield their miscalculated steps. They knew they were now going to be questioned about the timing of the meeting with J. P. Nadda exactly when protests turned violent so now claiming house arrest.
Latest visuals from CP, Delhi. Cockroches have started violence there....
It seems they're trying to start a civil war to repeat Nepal. Hope the police used their lathi even better.
Look. Four videos, one damn frame.
- Somewhere they’re mob LYNCHING a cop.
- Somewhere they’re pelting stones like ANIMALS.
- Somewhere they’re thrashing glasses of buses and windows.
But YES, these are ‘peaceful protesters’ with ‘demands’!🤡
Stone pelting on cops was reported earlier today in Central Delhi during the CJP protest to demand resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over NEET Controversy.
