Why did it take so long to invent the walker for the elderly? To put wheels on suitcases? To invent the menstrual pad for a problem that affected half the population in the world? Why necessity is not always the mother of invention. Today in the TOI
Critics gave the new MJ biopic 27%. Audiences gave it 96%.
I sat in that theatre yesterday and watched Jaafar Jackson channel his uncle so completely that I forgot I was watching a recreation.

Brilliant analysis by Prof. Thorat. Important points from the article,
1. Evidence does not justify the claims of the anti-equity agitators.
2.Indian campuses are characterized by caste, therefore require a conscious effort to build values that promote harmony. American universities have special courses on civic education to unlearn the undemocratic belief the students might have cultivated through socialization in family and society. They attempted to prepare students to be better-informed citizens-to engage with the values of liberty, equality, individual worth, opn-mindedness and willingness to collaborate for a common good.
3. The arguments of anti-equity agitators are presumptuous. The Supreme Court should base its judgement not only on legal considerations, but also on insights from studies on discrimination. Otherwise, the regulations will become counter-protective for the very groups they seek to protect.

Simon & Garfunkel performing 'The Boxer' live from The Concert in Central Park, New York, in 1981.
The song was written by Paul Simon and released as a standalone single on March 21, 1969, but included on the album nine months later (at the time, songs that had been released this far ahead were rarely included on the next studio album).
