Solution- rebadge the “Forum”, give it a more pompous name and voila! Old wine in a new bottle served by the same old sommeliers. Exquisite!

Here are some ways in which some people on tumblr fantasize about correcting this transphobia. If you can swallow it. You swallow it. Dont tell us its not happening though. Thats just gaslighting. Its really really graphic and disgusting. But dont tell me its unhealthy/bigoted that I know this because I have bothered to actually look stuff up. I wish I didnt have to know this- I wish this didnt exist. But Im forced to prove it exists because you refuse to believe women.

Women have historically had to do this for themselves because men don't believe them and dismiss them and say crimes against them do not happen, and if they do those crimes werent that bad, if they were bad its not a big deal because its a few bad apples, if its not a few bad apples, its still not all men, its not individual men -who shouldn't have to feel guilty about themselves, and if the argument is still not won- then they say oh those women must have deserved it anyway for being stuck up/ prudish/ easy/ a bigot. Whatever. Why don't we believe women who are showing evidence over men who are asking you to just accept what they say because its the "kind" thing to do. How is that kind to these women?
Incase someone has any query related to MHCET LAW, you may reach out to the email adress.
Dog whistle? which specific crime reported in there do you think is untrue? its not dogwhistling if its true just because you dont like it.
Its not disrespectful to say that. You find all the time to lecture me about respect but when the other person is literally saying "shame on you" you sit quiet. What even? I havent denied that trans people are victims of crimes or that we shouldnt do something about it. Its the what we do about it where we might disagree.
Crimes committed by gay people or black people are not under-reported or reported as crimes committed by white people or by straight people. Once you give up sex based language it becomes really really hard to keep data about "transwomen" reliable. Look up alice sullivans work on this if you like.
Sorry- but as long as you all keep insisting that these things dont happen- we have to make you face the uncomfortable facts that they do in fact happen. Crimes from other groups arent being misreported and not reported because of sympathetic traditional media. Some of these crimes are literally reported as "womens crimes" because trans women are women.
Im not trying to prove which side suffers more- you keep saying that because you wish it were true. Im trying to prove that despite your side not choosing to see the facts- there are in fact harmful effects from buying into this.
All these rooms have attached bathrooms.
The industry standards are 25K. there are certain small firms usually started by young lawyers who have undergone the misery of a first gen lawyer, these guys still have a better pay going upto 35K. One of my friends will be joining a small firm situated in rohini and will be getting 15K. Another one is joining a firm in Lajpat Nagar, they'll pay 45K after clearing BAR. Sr. Adv. are paying peanuts, wohi 25K.
i have personally interned under a Sr. Adv. who pays 25K, 2 Boutiques firm who pay around 30K and an AOR who pays around 40K.
Most of the AOR's are paying well, like till 35K to 40K.
I know my answer was not that helpful but also mentioning this here that a lot of my friends who went for interview were not told about their salaries, even after sending them confirmation, they claim ki the salary will be based on your performance.
If The Wire’s role in a healthy democracy involves being a mouthpiece for one political side, then we might as well toss the term "independent media" out the window. And please, spare us the sanctimony about "legitimate journalism" when what you're defending is selective scrutiny and convenient outrage.
Maybe instead of dodging the critique with rhetorical questions, you should actually address the point: how does The Wire’s cozy relationship with opposition figures square with its claimed impartiality? Now that would be a real discussion about the fourth estate.
Info is relevant to those planning to continue with law. We have family obligations, old parents meds/food to take care of.
Talk about journalistic integrity and demanding liberal outrage in this context seems to be a figleaf, rather than a genuine interest in discussing the fourth estate.
With regards to the income tax - there are plenty of threads on the application of Section 44ADA on retainers. A little bit of research should help you - given that you are a lawyer I presume.
Layman's version would be, you can claim a 50% deduction on the retainer that you get which means only the remaining 5L (specific to your case) shall get taxed basis your tax slabs and the regime of taxation that you are using. If it is the old regime then you also get the advantage of the old 80C benefits.
Also, according to you, my friend should accept this offer or not? He is very confused.
Tldr: both sides believe they are morally correct and on the right side of history and can show harm that's being / been done by policies but can't agree on several issues which historically have no easy answers. Now the argument, as expected, is rotating on which side is suffering more, who is historically and at present getting censored more by which part of the media, and calling the other sides arguments 'crap'. This is not productive.
Unfortunately in this thread there has been little talk of substantively what policies or compromises could exist that accept both camps' concerns.
Sharing things like that website is not helpful to be honest. No one denies that trans people sometimes commit crimes - all people do. But a website about every crime and dog whistle headline about trans people is not journalism or anything more than fear mongering that is not helpful.
Imagine a website that is exclusively populated with headlines about crimes committed by X ethnicity, religion, immigrants or sexual orientation? A doomscrolling website with headlines of all crimes committed by gay people or women in the world? A website that only carries crimes or violence committed against trans people now or historically?
Consuming such media is not part of a healthy media diet and does not lead to constructive debate and constructive outcomes but only to embittering and hardening lines between both camps.
That said, no solution here other than, thank you all participants in this thread for trying to engage but sadly it seems to have run its course in the present format.

Now, I acknowledge what other people have said, that letting resentment build and then saying hostile things anonymously is not helping anyone. It's possible that the non-binary people I know are just bad people, and not necessarily because of their gender. This thread has given me a lot to think about and read up on.
I don't fully know what my stance is on this issue. I still think that there's a large overlap between difficult mental illnesses like bpd (really hard for the people around them to handle!) and identifying as non-binary. Whether one causes the other, I have no idea. Not my place to comment on this, I understand.
I'm less angry now than when I first started this thread, time and space really helps. Anyway, thank you to everyone who gave me perspective! Some of the recommendations of material to read has been really illuminating. @LI I'm sorry this thread became an extremely angry and hostile space, I honestly wasn't trying to stir up some controversy. Surrounded by enough drama as it is, definitely don't want more.
Would you suggest them to take it up? or do you think they should just continue where they are?
The original post calls for a ban on "politicians" in these elections to protect the SCBA from political factionalism.
So, are you implying Kapil Sibal isn't a politician because he's supposedly "independent"?
We all know just how "independent" Sibal is. His weekly pontifications on The Wire—a so-called "independent" news outlet—are proof enough of his "independence."
Only the experienced ones please answer..
65k in probation period (6months) and 75k later on.
I think bonus is +15K not sure about that though.
As for my use of "INDI Alliance," the term "INDIA" is sacred to me, reserved for our motherland, Bharat/ India 🇮🇳. Neither you nor Rahul Gandhi can monopolize it with those sneaky dots or a long form no one cares about.
By branding yourselves as I.N.D.I.A, you're admitting that brand UPA just doesn't sell anymore! 🤷🏻♀️
By labeling such critique or feedback as "contested" or "trolling," you, as a moderator, are obstructing India's right to journalistic integrity—a crucial check and balance that must remain agnostic to political affiliation.
Why do you think I dont read? What is that assumption based on? I literally have an LLM and a PhD. From a school you probably wouldnt get into- I dont feel the need to throw that around to gain credibility- but you seem to think the only arguments worth considering are made by ivory tower academics in philosophy departments who are as far removed from this world as possible. I also dont feel the obligation to pretend stupid arguments arent stupid. do you think that i earned those by not reading - what? second year gender and law introductory texts? You accused me in the other thread of not reading or understanding Judith Butler- I took apart the article you quoted and a couple of others for good measure, and you completely disappeared. In this thread- youve presented articles from different sources, theyve been discredited just by quoting them- and you still refuse to think I read? for what reason? why are you so certain you know more than me? youve not been able to make an argument that I havent been able to poke a few holes in? and you keep covering by calling me a bigot instead of even having a riposte?
I imagine that you think I dont read because I dont agree with everything I read. I use my old lady brain that might be insane because im a lady who gets periods and I challenge ideas I encounter and try and think about what I buy and I dont. Why dont you use your brain and challenge what people say instead of what you want them to say? and instead of feverishly chanting your own dogma? you could also confront evidence which you might disagree with rather than closing your eyes to it?
If you want to be a serious academic or even activist- you will have to learn to deal with your outrage over the idea that people might disagree with you and get to the business of rational debate and persuasion.
Or is mathematics also western now?

Just know this- youll have to answer someday when people ask why you were supporting all of this ▮▮▮. In a few years everyone will know all of what ive said to be true. They have already changed their minds in nordic countries, the UK has turned the tide- even stonewall is walking back transitioning for children- americans will be next and once that happens- you will probably pretend that you never really bought into it all. but at least to your own self- you will have to explain that you were too lazy to do your own research and too proud to listen to women who were crying themselves hoarse trying to tell you and too self righteous to think you might be wrong. Dont bother calling yourself a feminist that day. Dont bother pretending you even know what the word means.
I know why. Its easier to believe men and dismiss women as crazy. Thats all.
CAM, SAM, Khaitan, Trilegal, Luthra, Saraf, JSA, ELP, NDA, Vaish, LKS, Remfry, Anand & Anand, could be T1.

I want to perform good. In spite of all the toxicity, long hours, etc. I really want to give my best shot at this. I am come from a lower middle class background and the money is very very important to me. I don't want to look or sound stupid when I go there. I am already very intimated by the kind of people you find at T1 firms.
Even non-work related tips would help. Anything I should read/learn/do to fit in well in the firm? Things that are appreciated/frowned upon. Please don't put trollish responses. I really need some valuable inputs. Sincere responses here will decide how I spend my days before joining. Will be grateful to the LI community 🙏
Also, Mods I feel a lot of kids are in the same boat currently. Could you please mark this as featured so that more people can benefit from this thread? Thanks a lot.
"Where's the liberal outrage here for unbiased and independent journalism? Why should any viewer consider the content or the narratives platformed on The Wire as gospel truth and not INDI Alliance election propaganda?"
The post is clearly disingenuous. 'Liberal outrage' is intended as trollish. For some reason the response decided to not engage with the subject, which was a lawyer / politician talking about stuff that could be of interest to lawyers.
Instead the post went ad hominem on The Wire, which while not perfect and definitely having an ideological slant in nowadays' polarised environment, is still for the most part doing real jorunalism.
Please deal with the facts and arguments, not political mudslinging.
Please advise
Does anyone have a clue about what the joining date for CAM A0s are for the 2024 batch. I know that the email for location and seat preferences happened first week of May.
Realistically, when do you think the joining will be? Is it likely to be as late as last week of August like it happened to the 2023 batch?
I’m just anxious about figuring out living situation.
Equity partner gets clients for BLR office. Keeps running around all day to get BD Done.
Never understood the point of asking figures if they're not being presented with an opportunity to get themselves placed.
We hear stories of unethical and corrupt lawyers. Well, this is where it begins!
I know where it goes from here- "if its relevant, it doesnt hurt anyone" to "if it hurts people, then I/ my side dont mean it" to " if we do mean it its because youre a facist bigot terf"
Of course when you start from the assumption that anyone who disagrees is a bigot- its hard to come to another conclusion. Just why bother trying to debate people when youre not willing to consider new information at all? go educate yourself.
