Dr. Arvind Kumar, FHEA

I am delighted to announce publication of my research article on 'Exclusion of Pasmanda Muslims and Dalit Christians from the SCs Quota'. It debunks false narratives which have been spread through Rangnath Mirsa Committee Report about Scheduled Castes. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/02…

महोदय, 2004 से लेकर 2024 तक मायावती जी ने मनमोहन सिंह सरकार को भी बाहर से बिना शर्त समर्थन दिया था। इस दौरान उन्होंने माँग किया था लेकिन वह समर्थन के बदले मान्यवर को भारत रत्न देने की शर्त भी रख सकती थी।

यह चुनाव परिणाम @RahulGandhi के लिए है।

मान्यवर कांशीराम पर @RahulGandhi का बयान बचकाना है। बस hindi.theprint.in/opinion/mr-kan…

Relationship break down is the main cause of suicide in Indian universities.

Judicial corruption can be of several kinds. Judges taking bribe is more direct. But then we have judges who abused adjudicatory or administrative powers for whatever reasons. That's also judicial corruption. NCERT proceeding is a dark day for the court! Enabled by bar! Shameful

@MilanV This very important issue to be researched. I still remember that there was huge enthusiasm for watching Ramayana in mid 1990s, but this does not automatically translated in the voting. Even in Ayodhya/ Faizabad district, it could not gain huge electoral success.

What impact did Doordarshan's 1987 airing of the "Ramayan" have on electoral politics, conflict, and institutional change? Fascinating paper -->

@MilanV Interesting… why not to include MP also to make four engine sarkar.

Interesting paper on the value of a 'triple-engine' sarkar (PM, CM, MLA alignment): "Full vertical alignment reduces annual nightlight-based inequality by 2.5%, boosts local growth by 2%, and significantly expands welfare access and banking penetration." siepr.stanford.edu/publications/w…

The iconic SOAS, University of London has offered me the status of research associate for next two years. During this period, I would be affiliated with its Department of Politics & International Relations. Thanks to Professor Rochana Bajpai for making this possible.

He is saying this because a petition has been filed in the court which illustrates similar things were written in text when he was education minister.

How the Supreme Court Deals with Corruption Cases Involving Judges and Lawyers I had an opportunity to appear before the Supreme Court in a case involving a senior lawyer who allegedly collected Rs. 7 crore from clients to manage a judge and obtain a favourable order. Instead of securing a favourable order, the matter was dismissed for default. The clients demanded their money back, upon which the lawyer allegedly threatened them. However, due to intense pressure, he returned part of the money. The clients then lodged a criminal complaint. After investigation, the police found substance in the allegations. There are eyewitnesses to support the case. The senior lawyer filed a quashing petition challenging the FIR. The High Court refused to quash the FIR but granted him protection from arrest until the chargesheet was filed. This order was contrary to the judgments of the Supreme Court. Therefore, the clients approached the Supreme Court, which issued notice. Subsequently, the senior lawyer also approached the Supreme Court seeking quashing of the FIR, despite a delay of a few days. The Supreme Court decided to entertain his petition as well. During the hearing, the Court orally observed on two occasions that it was contemplating quashing the FIR. This created intense pressure on the clients and on me as their counsel. Given the seriousness of the allegations, I did not press the matter aggressively. Eventually, both petitions were dismissed. However, the Court granted further protection to the accused senior lawyer. The Supreme Court directed that the trial court should grant him bail upon filing of the chargesheet. In several judgments, the Supreme Court has held that once a quashing petition is dismissed, no protection should ordinarily be granted. In another matter concerning the registration of an FIR against Judge Varma, formerly of the Delhi High Court and now of the Allahabad High Court, against whom removal proceedings have been initiated by Parliament, the Supreme Court headed by Chief Justice Gavai reprimanded the counsel appearing in the case. The Court stated that the counsel should uphold the dignity of the judge by addressing him as “Justice” and even asked a counter-question, “Is he your friend?”

@shreyamehta876 Very few people understand it

@arvind_kumar__ Completely understand Dr. sahab. Your strategic insights would be far more valuable behind the scenes than on camera. Wishing BSP listens to voices like yours.

Thanks… But I am not available for becoming spokesperson. I am available for providing strategic advice for election campaign and communication.

This person is Surinder Manhas, a renowned folk singer from J-K. He used to sing religious songs and was a winner of several musical awards but lost his life in 2023 due to a serious kidney disease.The family tried to help him with every possible treatment but he could not be saved. We had even started a fund raiser to seek funds to fund for his treatment back then but fate took a nasty turn. He has left behind a wife and 2 children-a boy aged 18 & a girl aged 16.The girl studies in a private school and the boy has completed B.Com. The family is in dire need of money to fund the education of the children.They are even finding it difficult to run the house and meet with daily expenses like fooding,electricity bill,gas bill payment. I have tried contacting bureaucrats,politicians and J-K based NGOs but haven’t received any response from any quarter. Social media is my only hope now because when the system fails, society helps. Can anyone please help me connect with someone who can help fund the children’s education? Can we as a society  help these children? CONNECT! @BeingSalmanKhan @SonuSood @OmarAbdullah @DrJitendraSingh @narendramodi @manojsinha_ @JKNC_ @dmjammuofficial @dpradhanbjp @jkmediasocial @BJP4JnK @k_satyarthi @SavetheChildren @CRYINDIA @AmitShah @AdityaRajKaul @milaapdotorg @sewanyaya @azimpremjiuniv @hvgoenka @anandmahindra
