Feel like you want to create change but law school never taught you anything about how law works practically? Or how to create a legal intervention strategy?

We've you covered

What is arbitrary power? My answer centres on the caricature of the tyrant, which I argue predisposes us to label disliked non-Western 'others' as arbitrary. I hope to help avoid ethnocentricism in identifying arbitrary power. Open access on Law&Phil: https://t.co/IGo4TZTmHa

How should we think about fraternity as a constitutional value? What are its moral underpinnings and its dangers? https://t.co/3MJtqPF0uA or https://t.co/xpfZkpsfXA. Preprint of my chapter in forthcoming Cambridge Companion edited @ataparnachandra @gautambhatia88 & Niraja Jayal

@siddharthfuller Hi Siddhartha, could you please DM me your email id?

[Balu Gopalakrishnan @balugnr]

Our paper on 'Administering Indian Citizenship' is now out in the @IndianLawReview. In the paper, we throw light into some of the critical, yet largely unexplored, secondary legislation and administrative policies and practices pertaining to citizenship processes in India.(1/5).

[Balu Gopalakrishnan @balugnr]

I was extremely remiss in failing to mention the contribution of two anonymous reviewers whose invaluable inputs helped us vastly improve this paper!

[Balu Gopalakrishnan @balugnr]

Finally, it has been such a pleasure and privilege to work on this with @aFarrahAhmed.

If you are interested in reading the paper, but cannot access it, please reach out to me :) (5/5).
