The center has been giving blank cheque to Delhi Police Commissioner for not less than several years. To the extent now the official clarification of DP is not denying it but saying that it is a routine process. Imposing preventive detention laws routinely and normalising it.

A good time to remind that students were beaten black and blue while in library, Minhajuddin (LLM student at that time) lost his eyes permanently due to Delhi Police lathis while he was sitting, reading in library. No apology, no admission from Home Ministry or Delhi Police.

For many years I used to think this was a lost-in-translation issue, that our judges were struggling with precision. I am now inclined to think it is by design; the Court chooses to offer the executive wide rope, making such outcomes inevitable (in most cases). (3/3)

JUST IN | Massive crowds several thousands strong gathered at Jantar Mantar as mobile internet was shut down in parts of central Delhi. Protesters have had sporadic clashes with authorities according to emerging visuals. Even as security forces tried to hold the crowds at bay, people gathered in batches of hundreds at the Jantar Mantar protest area and crowded Tolstoy Marg on the north end of the protest strip. CJP leaders appealed to protesters to demonstrate peacefully. "India's youth have shown that they're not like the Gen Z of other countries," Gitanjali J. Angmo, activist Sonam Wangchuk's wife said from the protest site's stage. The speakers' remarks are inaudible beyond just a hundred metres from the protest stage, as chanting crowds drown out instructions from protest leaders and security forces' loudspeakers alike. Crowds spilled in and out from a narrow entry point at Janpath, where traffic has been heavily restricted.

Citizenship: Foreigner Until Proven Otherwise?
——-
Dr Niraja Jayal on NRC, SIR & CAA

Are Indians slowly being asked to prove they belong in their own country? Political scientist and citizenship scholar Dr Niraja Jayal delivers a powerful address on how India's founding idea of citizenship — a presumption that you belong — is being replaced by what she calls a "presumption of alienage": the assumption that a person is a foreigner until proven otherwise.

In this speech, Dr Niraja Jayal discusses:

The shift from jus soli (citizenship by birth) to conditional citizenship
The Citizenship Act amendments of 2003 and 2019

How the NRC, SIR, CAA and the passport controversy connect

The burden of proof: state versus individual

The Foreigners Act of 1946 and its colonial legacy
Citizenship, welfare access and voting rights

What a reconstruction of equal citizenship could look like

This address was delivered at the Constitutional Conduct Group conclave on 'One Nation-One Election, Federalism and Citizenship' at the Constitution Club of India, New Delhi, on 4 July 2026.

A very worthy read and an absolute eye opener for many who know very little about the vile, vicious and most corrupt processes initiated by the GoI.

A good read on why academic historians must write for public portals and collaborate beyond academia. Because an average person learns about history from newspapers, radio, podcasts, internet,movies, posters, and video games.
