All praise is due to the Almighty, who’s enabled me to complete a Master of Laws at Harvard Law School.

When I left my full-time job in a shrinking human rights sector to pursue a second master’s degree, some questioned the decision — and part of me knew it was economically reckless. But as a practitioner from the Global South, I had grown increasingly disgruntled with the way human rights organisations reproduce colonial hierarchies of knowledge: where thematic expertise remains the exclusive preserve of Euro-American colleagues, while those coming from the peripheries (such as myself) are only valued for the parochiality of their ‘lived experience’.

So I undertook this degree largely to be able to challenge that asymmetry — by mastering the very doctrinal frameworks I was so often excluded from interpreting: from the fragile foundations of public international law to the shifting frontiers of climate change, human rights, and modern warfare. The goal was to speak not just from the margins, but to reclaim interpretive authority on equal terms.

To study international law with such a lofty ambition at a moment it is being rendered hollow — and in a country that routinely defies its authority — may seem triply naïve. Yet there is a unique utility in defending a legal order precisely at a place and time where it is most contested. The only thing more dangerous than a collapsing system is the conviction that nothing better can or should take its place.

@Harvard’s motto - Veritas - gestures towards a singular truth. But truth is seldom singular and it is hardly ever neutral. Nowhere did this become more clear than during my time here. I came to read Veritas not as a mission statement, but as a warning. The task was not to discover a truth but to ask: which truths are amplified, and which are buried? Which truths serve power, and which expose it? And what role does law play in shaping that distinction?

If studying criminology at @UniofOxford taught me to doubt the moral authority of law, interrogating legality at Harvard pushed me to reconceptualise law— in its barest form — as a continuous site of struggle, refusal, and possibility.

Here’s to dwelling in doubt, disrupting hierarchies and pushing the boundaries of what the law deems possible.

You know why the world hates India today.

We are arrogant bullies.

Look who we admire. Trump, Modi, Putin, Israel. Look who we mock. Palestinian babies, Ukrainian citizens, American immigrants. Indian Muslims. Kashmiris.

We are not easy to like, especially as a community.

And the best part, is we are arrogant WITHOUT any aukat.

Gand mein dum nahi par hum kisi say kum nahi.

We weren't like this. We had out flaws but we weren't hateful, and certainly not hateful of the weak, the powerless.

This is new. This is that fake 4 trillion dollar arrogance. I would rather have my older, poorer India back. Not this Bharat.
