Delimitation: A false solution driven by centralised power

Indra Kumar Theradi -
Before asking what dangers delimitation poses, we must first examine a more fundamental issue: what are the existing problems, and will delimitation actually solve them? The real crisis in Indian governance today is not a shortage of representatives; it is the over-centralisation of power.

Allahabad High Court flags surge in “false” conversion firs, seeks accountability from UP government

sabrangindia -
In a strong rebuke, the Allahabad High Court questions misuse of the Uttar Pradesh Prohibition of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Act, 2021, calls out investigative lapses, and directs state authorities to act against frivolous complaints while protecting the accused and the woman at the centre of the case

Will delimitation have severe, undemocratic consequences following the SIR?

shivasundar -
A quick yet illustrative explainer on how the proposed three bills suddenly introduced in Parliament and tabled this week show a disproportionate impact on non-BJP states; moreover the author demonstrates how, both the SIR and delimitation of the Modi government as currently proposed, is a lethal attack on Parliamentary Democracy.

Understanding power through caste: Dr. Ambedkar’s contribution to the sociology of law

ABHAY KUMAR -
Dr Babasaheb’s understanding of Indian society was pivotal: he was prescient in the dangers that loomed ahead, even after drafting the Indian Constitution; because caste-based inequality remains deeply entrenched in society and the post-Independence state did not go much beyond providing formal equality to the lower castes and other marginalised communities, Dr. Ambedkar was acutely aware of the continuing presence of upper-caste hegemony from society to politics and from culture to the economy

Congress and Karnataka’s Muslims: Loyalty without Representation

Md Saqlain Jameel -
In an era where majoritarian politics is openly dismissive of Muslim concerns, the Congress still benefits from being seen as the lesser evil. But “lesser evil” is not a sustainable political identity. For a party that speaks the language of diversity and inclusion, Karnataka’s record on Muslim representation - particularly in Parliament - stands as an uncomfortable indictment.

Sleeping Under an Open Sky on No-Man’s Land: Two Children, Ten Lives, and the Machinery of Exclusion

0
As deep economic anxieties regarding inflation, agrarian distress, and systemic inequality intensify, governments increasingly turn belonging into a weapon. The figure of the migrant is conveniently manufactured as a scapegoat onto whom broader social frustrations can be projected. In this calculated spectacle, two children sleeping under an open sky are absurdly framed as threats to national security
