“The act of telling the truth is an act of freedom, but it’s also an act of great risk.” Marginalized communities face huge challenges in sharing their knowledge online - including the threat of hostility and violence both online and offline. #DecolonizetheInternet #Wikimania2018

When Ireland legalised gay marriage in the referendum, people commented on the radical social shift in the course of a generation: conservative, Catholic country opening up. Our Supreme Court's shift on 377 is even more remarkable. Koushal was 2013. Merely five years ago. (1/3)

The democracy is many things—bewildering, inspiring, chaotic, empowering, frustrating, meaningful. Occasionally, it’s also cute. Karnataka, 2018.

Major kudos to Usha Ramanathan, Shyam Divan, Gopal Subramanian, Arvind Datar, Meenakshi Arora & the strong legal team, for challenging this at the highest bar, the right to life. @gautambhatia88 @prasanna_s @SFLCin for opening up justice & those who trended what needed trending. twitter.com/gautambhatia88…

Supreme Court reserves judgment in Aadhaar. At the end, the AG stood up and informed the Court that this is the second-longest oral argument in its history. Kesavananda Bharati was the longest. Cheers all.

@1amnerd Thanks for the shout-out! Like most things, it’s the collective effort of dozens of students and specialists. Hope the archive becomes a new public+research space and lives up to expectations.

Everything is terrible but my cousin’s 9-year old daughter Alice has been quietly and masterfully slaying the @NewYorker’s caption contest and it’s pure delight.
