Judge of the Israeli Supreme Court, Daphne Barak Erez, was invited to speak at Humboldt University in Berlin.

However, she left the hall due to the large chants protesting against he country's genocide in Gaza.

In 2022, Sai Deepak argued at the High Court that only a Brahmin could be appointed as the high priest in Sabarimala and that the idol would be rendered impure by the touch of outcastes.

The same man has now written an opinion piece - about how caste is a western construct 🤣

A country which can't register births and deaths (no census since 2011 and the lack of data after the pandemic) wants to register live-in relationships.

Recently while interacting with some college students in Bangalore, we asked what the role of #Parliament is in their imagination. After the usual responses around law making role, one student said, "to criticise the government"!!

It was interesting and indeed heartening to see a young student understand what many of us fail to. Parliament will always be an arena of contestation between govt and opposition and a healthy balance of power between both is needed if #democracy is to survive.

On 26th January 1950, the Indian #Constitution came into force. For us to be patriotic means to uphold the democratic ideals of our #Constitution and continuously work to achieve those ideals to make our institutions better. This #75thRepublicDay, renew your pledge to the Constitution and let's make Parliament work for us again! #ReclaimConstitution

"मैंने बहुत ढूंढा. अभिजात्य वर्ग पर कोई भी शोधपत्र नहीं मिला. आदिवासी, दलितों पर बहुत शोधपत्र हैं." एक दिन प्रो.ज्याँ द्रेज़ बता रहे थे.

लोग जिन्होंने अन्याय नहीं झेला,वे अन्याय को समझने की कोशिश करते रहते हैं. पर कुछ महसूस नहीं करते. महसूस करने के लिए कितनी समझ चाहिए होती है?

""Genocidal utterances are not out on the fringes but they are embodied in state policy...The distinctive feature of this state has not been the silence as such but the reiteration of genocidal intent at every stage..."

South Africa legal team's Adila Hassim @CIJ_ICJ: “Genocides are never declared in advance, but this court has the benefit of the past 13 weeks of evidence that shows incontrovertibly a pattern of conduct & related intention that justifies a plausible claim of genocidal acts.”
