What is the meaning of assurance for 'education accountability' that is being sought? The demand was for the education minister to resign. For the Prime Minister to resign - made only yesterday. What happened?

@AnjaliMody1 @SravastiDasgup2 at least not with overtly vicious intent to exclude

@seemay @SravastiDasgup2 All of this is true, and more. Also true that the 2002 revision was very very very poorly done!

Form 6 is central to getting onto the electoral rolls. Read how EC has slowly made changes it cannot do. 👇🏾@SravastiDasgup2 talks to experts, former EC chiefs and officers.

Jan Gana Man is supreme. India's national anthem. Any attempts to try and upgrade any other song its its stature is a spurious attempt to downgrade it

Three Months After Supreme Court Said Not Singing Vande Mataram Imposed No Penal Provision, Centre Moves to Criminalise ‘Insult’ @arvindgunasekar gets hold of the bill to be presented tomorrow. thewire.in/politics/three…

CJP Protest | Actor Shabana Azmi (@AzmiShabana) at Jantar Mantar, New Delhi

In March 2026, Supreme Court declined to interfere with the MHA's January 2026 Vande Mataram protocol, observing that it imposed no legal burden or penal consequence, while expressly leaving it open for anyone to approach the Court if the protocol was ever enforced through compulsion or coercive action. Within months, the Government has brought a Bill to criminalise acts relating to Vande Mataram. Is this an attempt to achieve through legislation what could not be sustained through executive directions? Wrote to the Union Home Minister @AmitShah urging withdrawal of the proposed Prevention of Insults to National Honour (Amendment) Bill, 2026. The Constituent Assembly consciously refrained from placing the National Song on the same constitutional and statutory footing as the National Anthem. The historic national consensus accepted only the first two stanzas of Vande Mataram for public national occasions. Article 51A(a) of the Constitution makes it a Fundamental Duty to respect the Constitution, the National Flag and the National Anthem - not the National Song. Even Parliament, while enacting the Prevention of Insults to National Honour Act, 1971, deliberately confined penal protection to the National Anthem. Seventy-six years after the Constitution and fifty-five years after the 1971 Act, selectively invoking Dr. Rajendra Prasad while ignoring the constitutional settlement and legislative history is a distortion of both history and law. Patriotism cannot be manufactured through criminal law. India's unity rests on constitutional principles, liberty of conscience and pluralism - not coercive nationalism. #vandemataram #nationalanthem

How to align what is said with what is written: The Delimitation Debate In Articles 81 and 82, there are references to three Censuses: the first Census after 2026; the Census of 1971; and the Census of 2001. The next delimitation is tied to the first Census after 2026; the existing proportion of Lok Sabha seats among States is tied to the 1971 Census; and the population of individual constituencies within the States is tied to the 2001 Census. The April amendments and the Delimitation Bill, in combination, proposed to remove all these separate references and tie the allotment of seats to the States and the delimitation of constituencies to the “latest Census”

“It is the government and parliament that are the sole competent authorities which decide on what changes, if any, are to be made in Form 6, the form Indians need to fill in order to demand inclusion in the electoral rolls. The Wire has tracked how the Election Commission, since its Special Intensive Revision drive has quietly changed this crucial Form. “The Election Commission first added a new declaration to be submitted along with Form 6 during the Bihar SIR. Another page was added in the second round of the SIR. During the present round of SIR, the Form 6 itself has been changed for online applications. “Former Election Commission officials The Wire spoke to said that rules and forms can be amended only by the government and after amendment, this has to be approved by parliament. Altering Form 6 without this amendment renders the Election Commission’s actions “ipso facto illegal”.” @SravastiDasgup2 reports m.thewire.in/article/rights… via @thewire_In
