26 April 2019 Honestly I did not even want to go there. From a smattering of tweets on this issue, I could make out that the Chief Justice has been accused of sexual harassment. That his case is being brought in by a lawyer who refuses/ seeks privilege to not reveal all the evidence at […]
25 April 2019 So what was the emerging picture? It reveals so far that a group of young men, with independent financial backing staged this series of attacks many of which did not cause quite the intended damage they aught to. Sri Lanka is on the process of promising a clean up, and the President […]
24 April 2019 The National Tawheed Jamaath has been placed on the cross hairs of this investigation, their leader Zahran Hashim at the centre of it, even as dozens have been arrested including six from a Colombo suburb produced before a magistrate within the first 24 hours of the terror attacks. The lead question for […]
What is the narrative backdrop to this random act seemingly of violence that ripped apart Sri Lanka at her waist geographically, targeting centres on either coast, killing and maiming hundreds? From the cursory survey of targets it was clear that Churches and hotels were targeted. Were they targets in retaliation to Christchurch? Were these acts […]
There is a lot of innocuousness surrounding our understanding of ‘entitlement’. No one quite understands what it entails and how it operates unless one were to see it that way, which a former US Navy admiral has been able to frame, and John Kirby’s letter to his nephew John may well make epistolary history!https://edition.cnn.com/2019/04/16/opinions/ilhan-omar-has-a-point-kirby/index.html If […]
19 April 2019 I could borrow from Charles Dickens in saying ‘Those were the best of times and the worst of times’… Why would one really be perturbed about the manner in which we are googling and searching and sourcing of information? After all the Wikileaks to Wiki series of websites have thrown a scintillating […]
15 April 19 It is quite funny when one sees how Medical field has been handled by the modern world, in a far cry from how similarly evolved Judicial profession has sustained its original centripetal norm. While every thing in the judicial system gravitates and evolves around the Judge who ‘dispenses’ justice, medicine has evolved […]
14 April 2019 My first thoughts at how Assange will go down in history was crystal- That he is not favourite of our times, associated more with disruption and notoriety than with the actual tectonic shift his contributions were to transparency. Julian is on the Wrong side of Time but on the Right side of […]
13 April 2019-One Hundred Years of Jallianwala Bagh. There is no such thing as poetic justice, one would aver, for the Prime Minister of the country that carried out the massacre at Jallianwala Bagh even in its centennial year of commemoration could not go beyond an expression of regret. An apology too, would surely not […]
11 April 2019 For an Indian it is not understandable, or easily relatable, how the fission over the fate of foetuses is now raising its head after we have read about Roe v Wade, in which the US Supreme Court gave women the right to abort. We thought that the law was settled, little realising […]
