High Court Order on Masjid Kamal Maula-Bhojshala: Neither a Verdict nor Justice

Ironies don’t always have to be in absurdities, they can also manifest in contrasts, mirror images. The images are of Pakistan and India. Pakistan, the country about which no one has any illusion of being a secular country or an inclusive democracy, was restoring the names of different places.

Knocking Out an Essential Foundation of India’s Republican Constitution

THE Supreme Court’s order in connection with petitions against Election Commission’s SIR orders in Bihar states that “the commission is empowered in the exercise of its constitutional mandate to undertake a limited enquiry into citizenship for the purpose of satisfying itself as to eligibility for inclusion in the electoral roll.” This came from a bench comprising Chief Justice of India Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi.

It has been nearly a month since the new BJP government took office in West Bengal. Within this remarkably short span, public unease regarding its administrative approach has been steadily mounting. This discomfort stems not only from the ruthless eviction of hawkers and vendors and the chilling implications of introducing a "bulldozer culture" to the state.

The ‘Bulldozer Raj’ Arrives in West Bengal

THE dreaded political apparatus known colloquially as “bulldozer justice” — the extrajudicial demolition of property via executive fiat — has officially arrived in West Bengal.
