But first, let’s ask: do all humans have the same rights? Or are some humans more equal than others? https://t.co/AjFWAq8oyT

Do robots deserve the same rights as humans?

A terrific piece from Swaroop Mamidipudi. Questioning a recent copyright case where producers get more rights in cinema!

Is this what they call a “cattle class”?

@grumpeoldman Ha ha. You could well be right! I haven’t studied the proposed schemes in detail. So nothing beyond “insurance” is it?

[shamnad @shamnad]

Wow! What a persuasive breed of brethren I have. More govt funds for their own welfare, insurance and all. If only more hapless clients were insured against errant lawyers who allegedly "advocate" on their behalf! https://t.co/kiuqXcBlMC

6 strikes at various NLU's in the last two years! A new phase in Indian legal education? Where students do not shy of shaking up the system. To protest high fees, arbitrary administrations, shameless sexism and all! https://t.co/2FddBPxV92

[NLUO @SBAnluo]

For the last two days , all the students have been sitting on protest in adverse climatic conditions but still, the administration has been completely apathetic in meeting satisfactorily even any one of them.

There is no better feeling than when #IDIAScholars make us #proud. Sandeep has cracked the Company Secretary Foundation course #examination with an All India Rank 10 and rank 1 in Bhopal. Congratulations to him!
We wish him all the best.

The Bad Boy of Buddhism! One of the very first. You have to admire his forthrightness though! Here is his radically risqué approach to worldliness (and "other-wordliness"), in verse:

Great lesson in there! Branding is key. “Make in India” sounds cool. So clearly should have worked and made India more innovative in this short time. Time to celebrate our rise in these “rigorous” rankings!

Sigh! If only some of our counsels extended this courtesy to clients and apologised for not showing up.

Will we extend the logic to humans as well? No crossing between the "indigenous" and the "exotic"?

Whooa! One more dent into the "traditional" transactional treasury of law firms! Will more in-house teams handle such transactions and stop outsourcing them to law firms? https://t.co/Q0snJfHykP

@Nands1502 And those dark places need to “crack”. For that’s how “the light gets in”! So many profound lines from this poet.

[shamnad @shamnad]

"The real weapons of mass destruction are the hardened hearts of humanity!” What a profoundly potent line! From one of my favourite poets: the legendary Leonard Cohen!

@keerthana1912 Ha ha indeed. A “spirited” story of sorts!

[shamnad @shamnad]

Whoa! Law sneaks an edge over medicine. Who would have thought? My dad didn’t speak to me for almost a year for picking law against medicine and engineering.

[Anant Bhan @AnantBhan]

"I studied law after that and have been practicing law since then, which not only offers better pay but also has less burden. The effort that goes into studying medicine and becoming a doctor is not rewarding, neither by money nor by appreciation,” she said
