Dug out the password to this account to tell Mr Bagree that he is an idiot. Not that anyone is going to read this but I am 30+. I have paid taxes since I was 19. I am in academia. In a few years I will do a PhD. 21 years of taxes mean nothing because education is bad or something

Rahul Gandhi’s disqualification from the Lok Sabha for a conviction in a criminal defamation case is another blow against Indian democracy. One does not even need to be fond of him as a person or support his politics to understand it.

Good grief I was just teaching the students about the Arup Bhuyan judgement today and why that protection was so important and now this! Changing my slides now to make Mondays class just a little more hopeless

#Breaking: A three-judge bench headed by Justice MR Shah holds that two-judge bench decisions holding that the mere membership of a banned organisation would not make a person a criminal unless they resort to violence or incite people to violence, is not good law.

We have heard, and shall, no doubt, continue to hear, extra-judicial seminars about the dissent and free speech, but words are cheap, actions count, and the actions are clear for all to see.

[Gautam Bhatia @gautambhatia88]

Finally, it is worth noting that this case was assigned to this bench by the master of the roster, i.e., the present CJI. We have discussed before how, because of their absolute powers over the roster, Chief Justices bear significant responsibility over what their Courts do.

[Gautam Bhatia @gautambhatia88]

This judgment further entrenches the SC as the Executive Court of India, notwithstanding the protestations of an ex-CJI at the “conclave” last week: it is a court that acts as an extended arm of the executive, and not as a protector of civil rights.

[Gautam Bhatia @gautambhatia88]

The judgment in Arup Bhuyan had understood the simple point that the word “membership” is so broad and vague that State can make completely baseless allegations and keep people in jail for years without trial. So they established a higher threshold. Now that protection is gone.

[Gautam Bhatia @gautambhatia88]

Today, the SC has given one of the worst and most damaging civil rights judgments in its history.

The 2011 judgment in Arup Bhuyan’s case was one of the only checks against executive abuse of the UAPA. Today, the SC has removed that check.

[Gautam Bhatia @gautambhatia88]

Boggled by this. Defamation law 101 is that references to a generic class of persons are not actionable unless an individual can show a direct reference to *themselves.*

It’s one of the first things you learn in defamation law class.

I don’t disagree with this but then teach philosophy and critical thinking across cultures. Teach Socrates, teach Ibn Sina, teach Kant

Shrimad Bhagwat Geeta to be included in school NCERT syllabus from 2023 session, stated the center. It took 75 years after independence to happen. Best decision ever! 🙏👏

Bhagwat Geeta is not a religious text book; it's a way of life; it is science; Geeta is life! 🙌

There is nothing like sports journalism today for truly elegant elegiac writing, the modern equivalent of bardism

Is this a good time to talk about the fact that many trains have been cancelled till February due to fog? Which may well be a contributing factor

This morning's Delhi airport saga!
The security lines at Delhi airport were last seen in front of ration shops in the seventies. Or East Bengal Mohun Bagan match ticket counters.
