Will the BJP now make it easier by democratising it?

> How Modi’s party took over one of India’s most prestigious private clubs

https://www.ft.com/content/3e65dde3-b7db-4c9a-bfb8-a90a5f6cc116

I guess a list of clubs worth joining in Delhi (minus Noida and Gurugram) would be:

Tier 1:

- Delhi Gymkhana

- Delhi Golf Club

- IIC

- IHC

Tier 2:

- Panchshila club

- Vasant Vihar Club

- Chelmsford Club

-Roshanara Club

- Jahapanah Club

Tier 3:

- Punjabi Bagh Club

What say? Possible to join these?

With 300 batch strength, NLS should no longer be an automatic choice of all top rankers regardless of its institutional record. The reason is that the institute can't give the same opportunity to all these students no matter how good they are. For example, around 20 students from each batch get top mooting opportunities. Even if there are 50 good mooters in the batch. Exposure wise, the opportunities available, jobs, internships available will be better to rank 1-10 of other NLUs than rank 150 plus NLS students.

You fanboys are the one who are claiming Sudhir is better than someone about whom you know nothing and are not qualified to judge their academic reputation or credibility. That makes you blind, not others. The Infosys prize is not a validation of his academic scholarship because once again, it's not been subjected to choice by experts in the field and like most Indian prizes, is the result of lobbying and mutual back scratching. You want to call it an example of his networking skill, please go ahead.

Yes of course Law college is depressing as there is no freedom to do other things and freedom to wear in many law colleges. Law colleges have strict dress codes and often wearing formals everyday is stressful. Well I don't wear formals but the things where I have stress is that I don't have many friends in college and have to face the Ruthless professors who are themselves the harrassers. Law students have to go through pressures of just revisions of sections everyday and even one can't even get time for doing job just because of the burden of bare acts and bad professors. I would say that I would have rather joined BBA programme or even BBA with Business Analytics as that's more interesting and practical to study. Law is all about mugging of sections and also remembering judgements and the judges. There is often gundagardi in law colleges and also the world of Law. Law college is for those who want to waste time on Goverment Jobs and other stuff related to law. It's not the question of assignments but the tests are hard because of sections. It would be easy if one is studying law every day otherwise it's worthless

I need to submit a seminar paper on International armed conflict (International Humanitarian Law). Could you suggest some really innovative topics. I don't want to research on the same old issues like redcross, israel-palestine, PoK, cyber security or cyberwarfare etc.

Is there any topic in armed conflict that's genuinely unique and interesting? For once I want to have fun with research.

Winston Churchill massacred 4 million+ Indians, he still managed to stop Hitler and indirectly save India(the Nazis hated us too, yet Bose went to them, but we still love Bose). Charles Dickens hated Indians to the core, Indians still read his books. If you miss out on stuff you could learn from other people just because they are "condescending" to your race/kind it's your loss.

I don't really find any proof that he's condescending to us. He is misinformed, like literally every westerner on the planet about our culture, but we could make the argument that most Indians are misinformed about each other.

Your arguments hold no weight.

Idk what's wrong with me but I change my entire friend circle in every 3-5 years. It has never been hard for me but this time I am in the final year of my law school and everybody is telling me to bear with my toxic group as they are just temporary people and barely 2-3 months of college life is left. But I feel so suffocated around them. Everyone has become so bitchy lately. There are people in the group who are trying to be everyone's favourite by manipulating gossips and bitching about other friends....and I'm like "bro, get a life". The person whom I trusted the most in the circle is trying to sideline me by villainising me in front of other friends...idk what's her obsession with me that she wants to be my sole friend. Well, I have decided to cut these toxic people off my life. Roaming around the campus alone is way better than being surrounded by people you don't even trust. Mental peace over everything.

Guys, what’s the craziest/outrageous watches you’ve seen in real life, on the wrists of partners, associates, bankers, clients etc?

1. T1 Senior Associate - Omega Speedmaster

2. T1 Partner - Rolex Datejust

3. Banker - Rolex Submariner

4. Client - Patek Phillipe Aquanaut

It does not make any sense to give different rankings to different programmes in the same university so long as they are being taught by the same faculty and the students have equal access to all resources. It's not that BA LLB alum won't consider BBA LLB or BSc LLB as their juniors or would refuse to help them.

If some idiots with guns came into my country, raped women and killed children, I wouldn't care about the so called international laws. I will revenge them and consolidate territorial sovereignty. If Hamas has the capacity to indulge in full time war (they do not) well and good, otherwise they signed their death warrants and that of millions of their civilians by indulging in this tomfoolery. Nobody can protect them now.

As for the civilians, Israel gave them a warning and time to relocate - something that Hamas did not. In fact, Hamas does not want to let the victims escape so as to keep using it's victim card. If it gives up hostages, maybe something could be worked out but if not, none of us can sit and lecture Israel on international "laws"

How to speak with a good accent and diction, how to dress and pick good brands, how to style your hair etc? I’m asking not just because of the recent posts on LI about watches etc, but because I heard that it actually happens at T1 firms. I heard that one law firm invited a Bollywood stylist and he told guys how to dress well and style their hair. They also invited an air hostess and model trainer to tell girls how to look polished and pretty. Another firm had a wine and cheese lesson to teach associates how to order wine and cheese.

Is it true or not???

Hey guys,

I have around 4 years PQE and I am thinking of doing an MBA from a US/Canada B-School. Do you think it is a good idea if one wishes to settle in said countries? I feel like I would like to get out of the legal practice. I know the MBA is an expensive degree, so kindly touch on points beyond that please!

Thanks!

Wow. On the pretext of infrastructure investments for Olympic, this will be a new device to put money in the hands of few businessman/businesswoman in the country. Genuine intention to promote sports is nowhere to be seen. Politics and power causing destruction in the entire world.

The ranking also puts jamia and symbiosis over GNLU.

Siksha O Anusandhan

Babasheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University

Saveetha Institute of Medical and Technical Sciences

Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology

Christ University

Aligarh Muslim University

Shanmugha Arts Science Technology & Research Academy

Lovely Professional University

All the above mentioned colleges are in top 15, and above all other NLUs like NLU Jodhpur, NLIU, RML, HNLU, NLUO.

There are many ranking frameworks in India, i feel sorry for anyone who decides which college to go to on the basis of NIRF ranking.

I left my friends 6 years ago and best decision of my life, in the end money is everything and if you feel that by staying with them you are becoming stupid then don't stay, always try to upgrade your friend circle to more smarter people but if they are bad at heart then its no use, having enemies is better than having two faced friends, to have even 2 good friends after age of 30 is considered a miracle in todays fast paced life

How on earth is this contested? It’s an obvious fact known to anyone in the legal field now. This moderator thinks he can put a positive spin on all the self destructive decisions for NLS by Messiah. Reality check: Not going to happen, mod. People studying at NLS today will know/find out soon.

Israel has the right to defend itself, doesn't have the right to bomb civilians and cut off essential supplies to accelerate death and devastation in the Gaza strip. That is a war crime. Folks over here understand that right? I seriously get concerned about the quality of people on LI nowadays

She has clapped back at those who leaked the pics, in her usual style. She's also mentioned that other people were present as well, thus striking down the rumours that are being spread (▮▮▮the rumours being spread by BJP Twitter handles are completely fake and untrue).

I suspect it was probably some of at the attendees at the party who leaked the pics to the IT cell, or maybe some staff. Expect more such dirty tricks as the elections approach.

Most amused to see some personal photos of me being circulated on social media by @BJP4India

‘s troll sena. I like green dress better on me than white blouse. And why bother cropping - show rest of the folks at dinner as well. Bengal’s women live a life. Not a lie.

At least people saw me in some jazzy clothes! :-)

Manmeet is a good leader to work with. Work with him, you will learn the real work of soliciting litigation with high stake clients.

But great power comes with great responsibility. You will need to be passionate about litigation, clients stake and expectations are very high, you need to be on your toes everytime and that is only manageable if you are passionate about work.

Generally speaking, this is untrue. As a current III year in NLSIU, I think the average GPA is around 5. Getting 5.5+ will place you in the top 10%. Getting to 6 places you in the top 3.

In any case, just focus on being consistent with your work, don't chase numbers too much right now (I'm assuming that the person asking this question is a first year.)

PS: Ask these questions directly from seniors, they are much better placed to help with NLS-specific questions like these than a Legally India thread.

Good Luck!

haha what rubbish. GPT cant go interview victims of crimes or atrocities and it cannot comb through historical data to show contingency/ pathdependency. It just isnt that advanced yet. Nor can GPT make choices that humans make when it comes to how to interpret statistical data. Stata and R made statistical analysis easier- but they didnt make these people extinct. In the same way- AI can make this stuff easier- but you need people making choices about methods and interpretations at the end of it.

Is this correct?

2. NALSAR, Hyderabad

Your views

I really don't know many people outside of my T1 friends or highly successful litigation friends who walk around with montblanc wallets, watches that cost 3-5L, and have multiple cars just because they can afford to have them.

Please stop talking out of your a$$, lawyers are not mid-tier earners. Have some sense of awareness and acknowledge that this is a very high paying profession. There are literal crores in this country who would love to make what a T-1 A0 makes as their own peak. SMH.

This is as bad and inaccurate an advice as it gets. There have been plenty of NLS grads searching for jobs in vain over the last few years. The institution's brand name can at most get you an interview, assuming you are not competing for shortlisting with people with better CVs. It is your own ability or contacts that will have to suffice from there. NLS has also lost its exclusivity now with ballooning batch strength during the last 3 years.

Hi, toxicity anywhere must not be taken lightly especially if it’s having a serious effect on one’s mental well being. What you are at present going through has happened to me too. In my case the delayed replies to messages, jealousy amongst group members towards other person’s achievements, lack of initiatives undertaken to even call regularly were the common aspects. Additionally creation of groups with groups by creating different WhatsApp groups amongst different members of the groups was also quite prevalent. I tried to keep my group’s unity intact but it was taking a toll on me, it felt like I was the only one who wanted their attention and friendship and those so called group members didn’t even care. It has been nearly 2 years since I last met most of them and I had never felt better, worked on developing my skills in every aspect of law be it research, reading the heavy books thoroughly, writing articles and research papers, practiced my favourite sports and worked out a lot. At the end of the day it’s oneself that matters and not what others think about you, the decision you take now is completely yours to take and it shouldn’t be influenced by what I have typed rn or what anyone types subsequently, we can only guide you. So here’s my advice/guidance: If your group members aren’t taking any initiative to maintain the friendship that existed at some point of time and then just focus on your personal development , get a good job, nice house, car etc and ignore them , don’t block them but start ignoring their calls.

Dude, what pinch of salt ? What is your obsession with this ? Universities remove your profile from their website if you don’t teach there currently. It’s so prospective students know who is around to teach them and who isn’t.

Everyone here wasn’t born yesterday. Some of us were in academia when Sudhir was teaching at Oxford and Columbia and Brown. You’re welcome to google the same and you’ll probably see some evidence of that as well. This is straight up lying and defaming someone cause you have an axe to grind. Well - we can safely surmise you’ve not done a remarkable thing in your life except drag someone else down at this point.

Sudhir has written everything that has his name on it. I don’t know if that’s the case for other academics. And quality really does matter more than quantity- the stuff Sudhir writes gets read and cited by a lot of people. You don’t think he’s impressive because you clearly have a bias. You compare what he’s writing to the redundant nonsense that most Indian academics produce - you see that he really is one of the smartest people around in Indian academia. Tell me a book or an article which you think was poorly done and give reasons for it.

Why is the Infosys prize not validation ? Because you don’t like him ? Is that it?

And Academics move around - he’s taught at plenty of good places in his career. Get a life.

To impress clients, go for a Speyside single malt. Do not go for blended plebeian stuff like Blue Label or Chivas. Wines of that calibre are hard to get in India, but buying a proper French one (nothing below Premier Cru/First Growth) like a Chateau Latife/Mouton/Margaux. I broke the bank buying a Chateau Margaux once but those who know (the equity partner, the client) they know.

https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/ahmedabad/ahead-of-olympics-bid-gujarat-identifies-33-sites/articleshow/102735573.cms

I think India's chances of winning the bid are 100%. China got the Olympics in 2008. By 2036, India will easily be holding the same importance in the world that China did in 2008. We will be a 10 trillion economy and the population will be close to 1.5 billion. The IOC will see it as a huge marketing opportunity.

Now, it's certain that Ahmedabad will be the host city for the bid, rather than Delhi. The TOI report above says that sites are being identified already. Assuming Modi wins in 2024, the central government will go all out to boost Ahmedabad in the 2024-29 period and possibly beyond (if Modi is re-elected in 2029). Meanwhile, Adani and Ambani will pump in funds, along with other Gujarati industrialists. So what will this mean for Ahmedabad as a city?

- Massive investments in infrastructure

- Metro rail etc

- Cleaner roads

- Luxury housing projects

- New luxury hotels

- Fantastic airport

In contrast, Mumbai is too overcrowded to carry out such work and the city is becoming unliveable with high rents and traffic. So will Ahmedabad then be the new economic capital of India, both because of new investments and spillover investments from Mumbai? Remember that the bullet train from Mumbai to Ahmedabad will be operational by by 2027, taking just 2 hours to commute to Mumbai. So it's conceivable that people working in Mumbai could live in Ahmedabad and commute daily.

Hi! This is not a law related posted and because I’m still midway on finalising a therapist just wanted to ask a group of larger audience this.

Have you guys ever started to feel that you are getting over a friend. Not necessarily that they did something wrong or did something substantially wrong but just that you don’t no longer feel that you operate in the same zone (for good or for bad). Over the past year I am having the clinching need to replace my entire friend circle which would invariably have me be alone for quite some time. I just don’t feel that I enjoy with my friends anymore or anyone for that matter. Their juvenile acts don’t make it better (like being an hour late to places, not replying on time even if it is to say no, stupid excuses to skip each others milestones, having no zeal to learn what their friends are doing). I don’t know it they can help it because this seems to be their genuine personality. Regardless crux being that there is disassociation. How to be okay with being alone than being in a social circle that I absolutely don’t enjoy.

It is violative of both customary international law (incendiary munitions in populated areas) as well as protocol III to the CCW. Anyone with even a remote interest in international law would know how this is violative and not be asking ignorant questions. Please learn the law.

In my view, the VC of JGU will always be from JGLS and not any other school, because JGLS is the largest and most influential. It also brings in the most money. I also think that the next VC will be someone with a degree from at least a top 25 QS law school, because Naveen Jindal is very brand conscious and such a tag impresses parents . This then rules out Sreejith and means one of the following people:

- Sudhir Krishnaswamy

- Nigam Nuggehali

- Arun Thiruvengadam

- Pritam Baruah

- Dipika Jain

Do you have good references? Do you know which specific programmes you want to get into? What law school did you go to? I know people who were near the bottom half of their class in nls, nalsar nujs do quite well with masters programmes. But they had a lot of other things going for them. Its hard to chance you without knowing the whole application- The best advice I got on this stuff was: you dont reject yourself from these programmes- let the admissions commitee do that for you.
