The debate on electoral integrity cannot be reduced to preventing fraud alone. Constitutional democracies must also confront the risk of wrongful exclusion. @IndianExpress

[Madhav Anand @madhavnujs]

@thetribunechd @manojkjhadu important intervention. rule of law demands equality in the application of legal and institutional power. a republic survives criticism of governments. but it struggles to survive doubts about the neutrality of its institutions. excellent and timely piece dear sir.

[Madhav Anand @madhavnujs]

Judicial restraint is premised on democratic correction&institutional good faith. neutrality of institutions is itself under a cloud, restraint without urgency risks protecting process at the cost of legitimacy.

My piece in today’s @the_hindu where I argue that the new “Demography Committee” is not really about addressing India’s demographic challenges, but about paving the way for a new institutional targetting of India’s minorities.

France doesn’t have a midfield and their defenders are dumb. Spain is more balanced but to win Yamal has to be good. Netherlands has Koeman, Brazil can’t keep the ball. England has a better team but like always no x factor. Belgium can’t do shite. Germany will fall

#ExpressOpinion | @ProfFMustafa and Madhav Anand write
Justice Surya Kant’s assurance that exclusion from the electoral roll does not formally divest citizenship offers only limited comfort as the West Bengal CM has announced denial of welfare schemes to excluded persons

Glad SC lift the ban on 3 acad in the NCERT matter. While the chapter directed at the judiciary was, in my view, unwarranted. & misplaced, the penalty imposed appeared dispropor severe. Reassuring that Court revisited the issue and taken corrective steps. #ncert

Superb article by @existsfortea highlighting the marginalisation of cyclists on the road and in policy in Delhi

[Madhav Anand @madhavnujs]

@pmswipro @attorneybharti it is the systematic arbitrary mechanism that lebelled someone as doubtful for one category which in itself is ultra vires. and if those voters were illegal, principles of law demands preceding elections be called illegal and not demarcating legitimacy.

#WATCH | Mumbai, Maharashtra: On attending the Yashraj Bharati Samman (YBS) 2026 Gratitude Ceremony, Indian-American economist Abhijit Banerjee says, "...What is development? I want to start with the same question, which is, what makes development? I think there are two very standard views you hear all the time, and there's, of course, some truth to them. One of them is that we need to have resources, and essentially, if we have resources, we can solve the problems... The other is that we need self-reliance, and that people need to help themselves and solve their problems... The real problem in education is not the lack of technology, that's not the lack of sophisticated material, it's not the lack of infrastructure. It was the simple fact that teachers don't teach the child; they teach the curriculum. By promoting the opposite, by promoting the idea that you should teach the child and not the curriculum, it's been shown that all over the world, education can improve very fast..." (03.05)

@D_U_Teachers one must not foreget the era of marks, deviant whether in school or clg, not perform so well in exams. but, copy pasting does. very simple, if a teacher is setting a question, he is expecting "certain" points to be there in answer no matter how much he appreciats deviance.

Photo clicked by the late Ashish Yechury, of a family in the Sunderbans, in December 2008.
We lost Ashish five years ago, on this day.

Who else better than Mr. Madhavan of PRS Legislative to point out the perils of the proposed amendments. Rajya Sabha will practically be worthless.

Of folklore, Chashme Buddoor, morning walks, solitary spots, trees, dogs, butterflies, & ducks — Delhi’s beloved “garden of bounty” Lodhi Garden turns 90 today.

Lovely tribute by @appriseParas in @htTweets today.

[Madhav Anand @madhavnujs]

personally lost much of the interest with ipl now. but 4 csk its not bout form anymore. the squad just isnt built right. no balance, no clarity in roles, and the ply 11 isnt feels settled. poor gameplay just exposing deeper structural flaws.
