Two Years of the BNS: The Audit the Anniversary Speeches Will Not Read Out

Trial by Circumstance: The Evidentiary Burden in State of Maharashtra v. Siya Goyal

Trial by Circumstance: The Evidentiary Burden in State of Maharashtra v. Siya Goyal

A 26-year-old real estate heir dead at the base of Lohagad Fort. His fiancée arrested. No eyewitness. No CCTV footage of the fall. A confession only in the form of what she Googled.

India's Daughter Still Waits. The Unfulfilled Promise of Women Reservation

India's Daughter Still Waits. The Unfulfilled Promise of Women Reservation

Critics called it a delay tactic. But the more honest reading is that linking reservation to delimitation was constitutionally logical. Reservation requires the identification of specific constituencies where seats will be reserved. That identification requires delimitation. And delimitation requires census data. The sequencing was not arbitrary. It was procedural.
