As a professor of English, I consider it my intellectual responsibility to cultivate in students a critical understanding of ideologies through literature. A text such as Neal Stephenson’s “The Diamond Age” can be interrogated through Marxist criticism, feminism, posthumanism, postcolonial theory, new materialism, and ethical criticism. Each framework illuminates distinct dimensions of power, identity, technology, and social justice. Literary scholarship demands intellectual rigour: interrogate ideologies, scrutinise assumptions, and evaluate arguments through critical reasoning. (Since you’re interested in literature, I thought I’d share my perspective with you). Thanks 🙏

The 2G spectrum case (2008; verdict in 2017) was cynically instrumentalised as a formidable political weapon against the DMK. In December 2017, the special CBI court acquitted all the accused, holding that the prosecution had failed to prove its case. The Aircel–Maxis case (investigation initiated in 2011; discharge of the accused in 2017), the Bofors scandal (1987), the Bellary mining controversy (investigations intensified in 2011), and the Hindalco coal-block investigation (2013) likewise warrant critical scrutiny of the politicisation of corruption allegations and the potential weaponisation of investigative institutions. Arrest does not establish guilt; allegations are not evidence. When prosecutions fail to withstand judicial scrutiny, investigative accountability becomes imperative. Political vendetta must be scrutinised, not presumed, and justice must prevail over political expediency. (No politics intended, just a point worth making.)

Good @Akshita_N hope you’re doing better and continuing to excel in your journalistic journey.

Yes, I understand your concerns. However, we must judge an ideology by its principles separately from its implementation and apply the same critical standards to capitalism.

Okay, noted. I understand your FUNDAMENTAL point now.

Dear Doc, now, we must acknowledge a share-auto driver’s role in bringing a prisoner back to prison. So, another salute to the share-auto driver.

Communism isn’t a bank balance.
You can own chickens and still believe in collective ownership. (Dot) 🙏

An intellectually enriching experience listening to young pharmacy students explore “From ChatGPT to DrugGPT: Ethics and Accuracy of AI in Prescription and Counselling.” Grateful to Dr. S. Sriram, M.Pharm., Ph.D., for this wonderful opportunity to learn and engage with emerging perspectives on AI in healthcare. Indeed, a memorable learning experience.

Journalism should be taught effectively as part of journalism students’ course of study, helping them understand the importance of truth, facts, ethics, and asking the right questions.

Thanks madam 🙏

சம்பளம் மட்டும் முக்கியமில்லைங்க சார். பணம் நிறைய வைத்திருப்பவர்கள் எத்தனையோ பேர் இருக்காங்க. ஆனால், அடுத்தவர்களுக்கு உதவ நல்ல மனசு வேணும் சார். அவருக்கு (உங்க மருமகனுக்கு) அந்த நல்ல மனசு இருக்குங்க சார்.

Nobody seems concerned about what is happening now. I have read three messages for this post Dr madam, (mr selvakumar, Karthikeyan R and Dinesh Dhinaa) and all focus only on the past. History matters, but we cannot ignore the present. Let us find the root causes and think of practical ways to stop these crimes.

Professional Ethics 😎

History must illuminate minds, not imprison them in ideological prejudices. Madam #RomilaThapar reminds us the past demands critical inquiry, not convenient narratives. When evidence yields to political or religious agendas, history risks becoming propaganda rather than a pursuit of truth. thehindu.com/news/national/h…
