@legallysomya writes in @IndianExpress: The Parliament passed the Supreme Court Amendment Bill, 2026, adding 4 seats to bring the apex court's strength to 38. While aimed at tackling pendency, experts emphasise the need for a wider scope of justice through bench diversity.
#Spotlight Four new seats in the Supreme Court may ease pendency, but with women making up just 4% of the top court’s judges, experts say the expansion must also address the lack of diversity at the country’s highest judicial forum.

4 more Supreme Court judges, 1 big question: Will diversity find space on the bench?

We have started a weekly column #LegalMinds series where eminent legal professionals would break down complex statutory frameworks into insights, both for members of the fraternity and general public. The first is by noted criminal lawyer and senior advocate Amit Desai. Read👇
The Government of India is celebrating a 7.8% growth rate; on the other, tribal girl Sonam Baiga has reportedly died due to malnutrition.
This should have been a national headline, yet the mainstream media appears largely silent.
Madhya Pradesh Health Minister & Deputy CM Rajendra Shukla must be held accountable for the state’s healthcare system.
The contrast is shocking: MP reportedly spends around ₹40 per day on a cow, while only about ₹12 per day is spent on a malnourished child.
India cannot call itself a developed nation while people continue dying from preventable malnutrition. Where is the accountability? Where is the outrage?
When Adivasis and Dalits suffer, why does the system go silent?
Outstanding work, @MumbaiPolice! 👏 You’ve once again given us a live demonstration of how the VIP culture works, and how being a commoner is apparently a punishable offence.🥵
Two Indias. Two sets of rules. One glorious VIP culture!
hi, i’m currently looking for work.
earlier this year, i lost my job because my chronic illnesses made regular travel difficult. i’ve been applying consistently and following up on every lead people have kindly shared, but unfortunately, nothing has worked out yet.
after seven years of living with chronic pain, i was recently diagnosed with axial spondyloarthritis. i really don’t want to discontinue treatment for this or my other health conditions because of financial constraints, so i’m reaching out again.
i’ve primarily worked in advertising as a writer and creative supervisor, with experience across scripts, campaigns, social media, copywriting, and pretty much all kinds of writing.
if you know of any writing, copywriting, scripting, or creative roles — freelance, remote, or otherwise accessible to me — please dm me with leads. i’d really appreciate it.
because kanwar yatra is male-dominated and is designed to serve male gaze and male harrasment. men do not have to serve the Sanatana Dharma or uphold dignity or tradition or culture or whatever bullshit. it is the women who have to do it. in a brahminical worldview, the onus is always on the women.
Kangana ji, lage haath ye bhi bata dijiye Sanatan me baap ke beti ko rape karne ke kitne cases aate hain. beta apni maa tak ko nahi chhodta. iss desh mein har aurat sabse pehle apne ghar mein hi assault hoti hai. ya toh direct family member se ya relative se. bhagwan aurat banaye par kabhi aap jaisi na banaye.
