May this Diwali dispel darkness from every nook & corner! May the wealth of nation be equally distributed! May the only fires we light this year be those which give our world – from hills of Manipur to the narrow strip of Gaza – the light of freedom, justice, peace & equality!

Our mother earth has completed one full rotation around the sun; however humanity has not moved a bit in the last one year of continuous genocide in Gaza. Please find below the earlier version using the link: kafila.online/2024/01/02/the… In solidarity! #GazaUnderAttack

Sharing below my representation to the Vice Chancellor regarding the inordinate delay in conducting the interviews in the Political Science Department of Maitreyi College. A similar problem can be seen in other colleges. We all need to unitedly fight against this trend!

I've been nominated by the DU VC-in-Council into the expanded Committee to examine the issue of seniority of teachers in colleges/institutions. The meeting of the committee is scheduled for 18th July 2024 at 2:30 pm. Concerns and suggestions are invited. Email: mjohn@jmc.du.ac.in

"Referring to the commentary in the syllabi’s suggested readings, DU AC member Maya John had said the modifications in both Jurisprudence papers are politically motivated as they lack academic merit." @IndianExpress indianexpress.com/article/india/…

“The text (manusmriti) was selectively added since other contemporary legal treatises, as well as those from medieval and early modern period are missing. The modifications in both Jurisprudence papers are politically motivated and lack academic merit,”. thehindu.com/news/cities/De…

Happy to share epw.in/journal/review… RWS has been a space for creating feminist consciousness over years. Writing here after 2010 with @RajeevAishwarya Thanks @pkotiswaran @MayaJohn14 Ritu Diwan @epw_in @ECPR_Gender @RC09_ISA @ResearchLex @IFJPglobal @INBreakthrough @cwdsorg

This year’s Review of Women’s Studies (RWS) offers a survey of women’s varied experiences with the law, important trajectories of advocacy, and the lingering incompleteness of transformations in law. epw.in/journal/2024/2…

It is also disturbing that no elected teacher representatives from the University's AC or EC are made part of the said Committee. Hope that the University earnestly rectifies this, and that the DUTA as a collective representative presses forth with this important concerns. (3/3)

It is worrying to see yet again the consolidation of the trend wherein, despite there being a plethora of talent in terms of experience and expertise, only a few people are repeatedly hand-picked to helm affairs of the University's committees. (2/n)

DU Committee to look into the issue of seniority must be expanded! Sharing the representation which I sent to the VC regarding the inclusion of SC/ST/OBC/PwD representatives in the Committee formed to look into the issue of seniority of teachers in colleges. (1/n)

Hope my Malayalam reading colleagues find this piece relevant. This appeared in today's Malayalam Manorama. This op-ed contexualizes the monsoon of paper leaks amidst the drought of opportunities.
