One of my acquaintances paid the price of being a Muslim in this country. @Uber @Uber_India, the least you can do is ban that driver for the safety of women in this country.

I write as a student of history. History will be brutally cruel to Hon'ble CJI Ranjan Gogoi, D.Y. Chandrachud, and Surya Kant et al. Like judges under Hitler who swore personal loyalty to the Führer and turned courts into regime weapons, these men presided over the slow death of judicial independence in India Ranjan Gogoi: Fast-tracked Ayodhya to favour the regime. Sealed covers in Rafale. Ignored Kashmir habeas corpus while prioritising a "land dispute." Sexual harassment allegations handled in a kangaroo court he himself led. Reward? Rajya Sabha seat. Classic post-retirement payoff. D.Y. Chandrachud: Master of the roster who delayed critical cases against power — electoral bonds struck down too late, bail pleas of dissenters buried. Ayodhya bench justified majoritarianism. Prayers before verdicts and public Ganesh Puja with the PM? Optics of captured judiciary. Surya Kant: Part of benches delivering selective justice. Controversial remarks and decisions that echo executive comfort over constitutional duty. When judges start sounding like regime defenders, the institution is in ICU. Under them, Supreme Court became an "Executive Court" — dual system where ordinary cases limp along, but politically sensitive ones deliver predictable outcomes. History judged Nazi-era judges harshly for enabling persecution under the colour of law. Yours won't be kinder. The records are unforgiving.

The Modi Govt is proposing to bulldoze a Bill to increase the size of the Lok Sabha by 50%. The number of seats allocated to each state is also proposed to be increased by 50%. The argument that a 50% increase in seats across-the-board is equitable is deceptive. Proportions may not change for the present but there are deeper implications that cannot be wished away. Any increase in the gap in the existing strengths of different states in the Lok Sabha will place South Indian states at a disadvantage. For instance, currently Uttar Pradesh has 80 seats and Tamil Nadu has 39. With the proposed Bill, UP’s strength will zoom to 120 while Tamil Nadu will crawl up to at best 59. Similarly, Kerala will increase from 20 Lok Sabha seats to 30 seats, while Bihar will move from 40 to 60 seats. Overall, the southern states will gain 66 seats while the northern states will gain 200 seats. Mr. Modi is unilaterally preparing a law which will disadvantage smaller states in the South, Northeast, and West. The Chief Minister of Telangana has already raised an alarm. Others may very well follow as this proposal becomes officially public.
