10 November 2019 #How&FallOutOfAyodhyaVerdict Which ever way one looks at this, the judgement of the SC was an attempt to use the judiciary to bring about reconciliation and retribution as a form of justice for an issue that was clearly outside the four corners of legal determination. It showed how our Founding Fathers as members […]
9 November 2019 #SinoIndianContext #5GRollOut While the rest of the world continues to take a keen interest with all things Chinese, Indians have a hyphenation to contend with, a baggage of history to boot. There are several events in the recent past which can be called as schisms between two cultural behemoths and two nationhoods […]
8 November 2019 #BMKJ #JSR We are seeing the green shoots of people concerned with the fate of economy, something which apparently they had forgotten when they were consumed by other important business.

Luckily the new deal has just one added decision with respect to Ireland and one feels […]
17 October 2019 We have finally finished with the judicial drama of a series of pleadings and arguments on the vexed issue of a temple for Rama. Note that what I lay out is a series of points that are meant for understanding of not just the context, but also for the legal aspects of […]
