What a powerful photo from the Union hall at the Aligarh Muslim University. The University gets its first ever Woman Vice President in the AMUSU. I'm so proud of you, Nashra. Long live this little revolution and congratulations to everyone who made this happen.

My latest piece for @TheQuint on the 24-Hour Rule: How Supreme Court Drew the Line Between Arrest and Detention The SC’s Sujit Das ruling says the 24-hour rule starts when liberty is actually curtailed, not when arrest is recorded. thequint.com/opinion/supreme…

Thread: 1/3 The judgment in Sujit Das case is an important and significant ruling. Especially, it's a powerful tool in the hands of lawyers providing legal aid to detaineess, especially during illegal detentions and protestors being arbitrary detained.

Thread: 2/3 The division bench of (Justices Bhuyan & Chandurkar) held that the 24-hour period under Article 22(2) cannot start only from the arresting authority’s recorded arrest; distinguishing it from completion of search/seizure is unsustainable and unconstitutional.

India is not Hindi. Hindi is not India. Every state you visit, you'll learn a new language and culture. I don't have a problem with judgements in Hindi, but one should get a translated copy too because in my personal experience getting orders translated is a task, literally.
“Why are we still subservient to the language of those who ruled over us for 300 years?” Allahabad High Court judge says India is yet to liberate itself from English language even after 80 years of independence

जिस इंसान ने मरते दम तक बनारस नहीं छोड़ा, तुमने उसी का घर गिरा दिया? जिसके जैसा न कभी कोई हुआ और न कभी होगा, उसका घर गिरा दिया? बिस्मिल्लाह ख़ान बनारस की पहचान हैं। वो खुद में एक बनारस हैं। शर्म करो भाजपाइयों।
जिनके लिए शहनाई नहीं बजी, उनसे और क्या उम्मीद करना? भाजपा और उनके संकीर्ण सोच के संगी-साथी ‘कला और कलाकारों’ के हमेशा ख़िलाफ़ रहते हैं क्योंकि इन पुरातनपंथी-रूढ़िवादियों की ये संकरी मानसिकता होती है कि रचनात्मक लोग ही समाज में परिवर्तन की भूमि और भूमिका बनाते हैं। सकारात्मक कला सहृदयता को जन्म देती है और सहनशीलता को भी। इसीलिए कला के हर रूप को ये अपने एजेंडे के रास्ते में रोड़ा मानते हैं या फिर कला को अपने एजेंडे के लिए इस्तेमाल करके उसको नकारात्मक बना देना चाहते हैं। जिनके आगे ‘भारत रत्न’ लगा हो उनकी मिलीजुली विरासत को ध्वस्त करना, उनके मान-सम्मान के साथ-साथ ‘भारत’ के मान को भी ध्वस्त करने के समान है। भाजपा नफ़रत की आग में जलकर देश को नुक़सान पहुँचा रही है। सरकार में आने पर हम ‘भारत रत्न बिस्मिल्लाह ख़ान’ जी की सांगीतिक धरोहर को बचाने के लिए ‘श्रवण-संग्रहालय’ बनाएंगे घोर निंदनीय!

The biggest issue for GenZ of this country is drug abuse. And the ground zero for Drug Epidemic in India is Punjab. GenZ bachega hi nahi toh vote kaisey dega? Request the @Cockroachisback to raise this important issue and launch a campaign against drug problem as main focus.

Now we all know what their 'nuetral' stand is all about. They couldn't join the protest in the same city after having a grand party, what else is there to say?
CJP protested against Gyanesh in Mumbai and we gave them the benefit of the doubt because Maharashtra is still a BJP-governed state. But now they are planning to hold a protest against CEC in Kerala? Of all places, why Kerala?

Women. Minorities. No Exclusion. Women hold up more than half the sky
Nashra Naim has become the first woman elected vice president of the Aligarh Muslim University Students’ Union (AMUSU), marking a historic moment as students voted for their representatives after eight years. Nashra, a law student from Uttar Pradesh, is also a National Executive Committee member of the Fraternity Movement. Noman Ashraf won the president’s post, while Mohammad Hamdan was elected secretary. The elections followed student protests demanding the restoration of an elected union. reports @ghazalaahmad5
