@sone_do_mujhe Hierarchies are intrinsic to the nobility

[Sumit Sonkar @sumitsonkar]

@sone_do_mujhe Consortiums of law firms have their unique award system so as random organisations. Their system is better than Nobel prize according to them

[Sumit Sonkar @sumitsonkar]

@sone_do_mujhe I would say, it would be highly inefficient process, devalues diversity, and most importantly, very difficult to enforce. We don't need to centralised and unified everything. Let communities enjoy autonomy as long as they are not repugnant to the Constitution

[Sumit Sonkar @sumitsonkar]

@sone_do_mujhe Nothing wrong in using AI to organise thoughs but nothing beyond. Process of thinking must remain with humans because we understand experiences and contexts better than any AI.

@rajeevranjanMKH And Manmohan Singh would have disagreed vigorously as I am. If students don't ask and raise questions, especially in universities, then who will? Democracy is not limited to Parliament or politics, instead it must exist in daily life and all local or national affairs. R

@BojanBugaric Sorry for your loss.

I am thrilled to share that I have signed my first book contract with Routledge. It will be titled "Gender, Freedom of Religion and Progressive Constitutionalism: The Impact of the Sabarimala Decision in India" and will likely come out in early 2025.

@ChristopherMRWS It's playing out differently in India. https://t.co/hwwbD93XEj ofcourse the context is different

[Sumit Sonkar @sumitsonkar]

Also, instead of considering panchayats as independent units, courts continue to treat them as an extension of the state governments, thus undermining their potential for empowering rural communities.

[Sumit Sonkar @sumitsonkar]

I am very happy to share that our latest article, 'Empowering Rural Communities: The Impact of the 73rd Constitutional Amendment on Panchayats in India,' co-authored with Anurag Ojha, has been accepted for publication in the Australian Journal of Asian Law.

[Sumit Sonkar @sumitsonkar]

In this article, we argue that despite the 73rd amendment, decentralization of the power and functions has not been devolved to the panchayats (village councils).
