@rajeevranjanMKH And Manmohan Singh would have disagreed vigorously as I am. If students don't ask and raise questions, especially in universities, then who will? Democracy is not limited to Parliament or politics, instead it must exist in daily life and all local or national affairs. R

तब चंद्रशेखर जी पूर्व पीएम हो गए थे .. इलाहाबाद विवि के डायमंड जुबली छात्रावास छात्रों से मुखातिब होने आए थे .. कॉमन हॉल में एक छात्र ने उनसे पूछा ये मनमोहन सिंह की आर्थिक नीतियां देश को कहां ले के जाएंगी ? देश आर्थिक गुलामी की तरफ बढ रहा है ? चंद्रशेखर जी ने कहा अभी पढ रहे हो ..मां बाप किसान होंगे या छोटे मोटी नौकरी , व्यवसाय वाले .. पहलेअपना भविष्य सुधारो .. देश खुद ब खुद सुधर जाएगा ..जो काम कर रहे हो वो तन्मयता से करो ..राजनीति करना है तो उधर आओ .. पढ रहे हो तो पढ़ो.. अपनी चिंता करो .. मैं भी वहां मौजूद था ..

@BojanBugaric Sorry for your loss.

My father left this world yesterday. I wanted to see him one more time but didn't make it on time (my flight from Manchester was delayed). The empty chair in the front of his house, where he liked to read books and to google on his ipad.

I am thrilled to share that I have signed my first book contract with Routledge. It will be titled "Gender, Freedom of Religion and Progressive Constitutionalism: The Impact of the Sabarimala Decision in India" and will likely come out in early 2025.

@ChristopherMRWS It's playing out differently in India. google.com/amp/s/zeenews.… ofcourse the context is different

"Your obedient servant" is an unexpectedly charming way for the Secretary of State to respond to a letter from a citizen (in this case, Mr. W.E.B. Du Bois). credo.library.umass.edu/cgi-bin/pdf.cg…

Also, instead of considering panchayats as independent units, courts continue to treat them as an extension of the state governments, thus undermining their potential for empowering rural communities.

In this article, we argue that despite the 73rd amendment, decentralization of the power and functions has not been devolved to the panchayats (village councils).

I am very happy to share that our latest article, 'Empowering Rural Communities: The Impact of the 73rd Constitutional Amendment on Panchayats in India,' co-authored with Anurag Ojha, has been accepted for publication in the Australian Journal of Asian Law.

@neekhilupad Thank you

@sumitsonkar Congratulations

I am delighted to share that my article "Balancing Faith and Equality: Examining the Adequacy of the Doctrine of Essential Religious Practice from Gender Equality Perspectives in India" has been accepted for publication in the Oxford Journal of Law and Religion. More updates soon

@OlaoyeKehnde Thank you Kenny

@sumitsonkar Congratulations.

@UcheMiracleC1 Thank you Miracle

@ManishTewari By showing Nehru as enemy helps in evading accountability of present misdeeds

No harm in honouring succeeding Prime Ministers but why dishonour the First Prime Minister? Nehru Memorial Museum and Library Society renamed as Prime Ministers’ Museum and Library Society pib.gov.in/PressReleasePa…

@netanyahu Just keep giving contracts to Adani, the rest will follow.

Just spoke with Indian PM @narendramodi about ways to strengthen the close relationship between #Israel & #India. Together we'll advance security & economic relations, with a focus on high-tech. Exciting times ahead!

@tarunkhaitan For such illegalities, the state is also vicariously liable

@tarunkhaitan Ideally they should be paid compensation but the policing system is in such a pathic condition that if the courts start granting it, the State will go bankrupt.

@CPR_India @AiyarYamini @htTweets Also, levy cess or taxes and bring a new income taxation regime that forces people to spend more than save

Revenues have not risen enough to fund revenue expenditure. They have stagnated, and, therefore, the only way to increase capital expenditure has been to squeeze welfare spending:@AiyarYamini analyses #Budget2023 @htTweets #UnionBudget2023 #UnionBudget cprindia.org/wp-content/upl…

@dmuthuk servant serves master well

Have we ever seen a Nifty stock under ASM framework? Power of Adani?

@diegoemme Saravana Bhavan

Dear Delhi friends, I will be in town briefly end of Jan/early Feb. A burning question is on my mind: which (rigorously indian) restaurant should I try?
