The violence in Nuh, Palwal and Gurgaon makes it clear Narendra Modi has fallen back on the one antidote with which he is familiar, which worked unfailingly in Gujarat and in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. This is the stirring up hatred of Muslims and other minorities in the Hindu majority.

By Not Standing Up For Justice S Muralidhar, Supreme Court Collegium Fails Yet Another Independent Judge
A judge, who is erudite and independent, who doesn’t hesitate to act urgently to protect the lives of ordinary citizens in moments of danger and is fearless in taking a bold stand against State excesses and inactions, who is held in high esteem by the legal fraternity, certainly deserves to be in the Supreme Court, right?

1000 Days Without Trial Or Bail For Umar Khalid, Denied Bail Despite False Allegations, Fabrications & Inconsistencies
PhD student Umar Khalid completes 1,000 days in jail without a trial, Article 14 revisited the fabrications, inconsistencies and conjectures that vitiate the Delhi riots conspiracy case but are still not enough for him to get bail because judges, as experts point out, interpret draconian laws in unyielding fashion. Police witnesses against the 35-year-old have been shown as unreliable, unproven allegations have been dropped, and the police have used partial truths and communally tainted arguments in his prosecution.
