White clothing, pineapple-topped trophies, and Rudyard Kipling. I write about how Wimbledon celebrates British colonial legacies in the guise of "tradition"

Decolonising Wimbledon and its Phantasm of a Superior Sporting Culture

We must resist conforming to, and being complicit in, the deeply vexing convictions of order, civility, and etiquette that Wimbledon prides itself for.

Please read this important piece on the pressure academics face to meet inane publication targets

[The India Forum @TheIndiaForum]

The 'publish or perish' model fosters a culture of superficial scholarship, stifling genuine academic innovation and the teaching-learning process. Arun Sagar makes a case for academics to write less

I write for @Verfassungsblog on the importance of choosing feminist modes of justice that stay away from the carceral state in cases of sexual harassment

The much-awaited profile.

'Performative Justice: The equivocations of DY Chandrachud'

The burden of expectation on an erudite man with a sophisticated demeanour was immense. But Chandrachud’s tenure “has been two steps forward, four steps backward, six steps sideways.” My cover story for @thecaravanindia magazine.

Almost a decade back, a professor of mine, in a rather vulnerable moment, confessed that his generation had failed ours. I comprehend that statement fully now.

First Aharon Barak and now Malcolm Shaw. Indian law students having even a trifle of a concern for truth and justice must be wondering today who all they were made to study and celebrate in their undergraduate curriculum.

Dr Becker Lorca had worked on this first draft as an advisor but not as a constituent. In the interview, he also explains the difference between the two roles, and his contribution to the drafting process.

[Ankita Gandhi @GandhinotMK]

For @JGLR_JGU, @ShivangiGangw12 and I interviewed Dr Arnulf Becker Lorca, Professor of Public International Law @EUI_EU, to know about the first draft of the Chilean constitution that was put to a plebiscite a year ago. Read here: https://t.co/EgCm75wKVl

[Ankita Gandhi @GandhinotMK]

Here, he discusses the timeline of the drafting process and the reasons for which the first draft was defeated, the intellectual history of the socio-economic rights being considered in Chilean constitutional debates, the myth of the pervasiveness of western constitutional ideas

[Shivangi Gangwar @ShivangiGangw12]

The most fun I've had writing an article! Many thanks to @AGYA_Academy and the International Journal of the Legal Profession for the opportunity. If you haven't already, do read @sujatamassey's Perveen Mistry novels and come back to see what I have to say about them.

[Jindal Global Law Review @JGLR_JGU]

@IssiDoron - in an interview with @GandhinotMK - discusses how academia, strategic litigation, and advocacy and activism have finally begun taking the field of ‘jurisprudential gerontology’ into serious consideration. https://t.co/b4Sd3TIVML
