Many have used libgen to download books illegally. Recently libgen had been taken down, and I feel so relieved that people are not committing any crimes just because they want to read.
I want to create awareness that we should not use such websites ( cont.)
In Nov 2024, the Kerala HC explicitly ordered the Govt to provide reservations for transgender persons - a vital precedent.

Many congratulations to our newly-selected #Indian#RhodesScholars joining the class of 2025! 🙌

We can’t wait to see all you achieve in #Oxford and beyond!✨
So so excited and proud that Vibha has been announced as one of the Rhodes scholars for this year!!
She will be at Oxford studying and working on citizenship, among other things- so watch out for the amazing things she gets up to!
