We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.
Therefore, in using the site, you must agree to do your best to uphold these community guidelines.

Don't come up with questions. We all know reality plus if you want to argue come with other account and don't show your biased moderation here.
What proportion. Without British colonisation of course we wouldn’t be a secular democracy- we weren’t a secular democracy before they came.
Is Christian fundamentalism or Hindu fundamentalism the dominant group within Christianity or Hinduism ? Do the Christians in Nordic countries and America and England arrive at secularism because their religious fundamentalists are tempered by the enlightenment values of most Christian’s in those countries ?
Is India perhaps secular because many many Hindus including Gandhi and Nehru and Ambedkar and everyone else who thought like them rejected Hindu fundamentalism of their coreligionists in favour of a secular state ?
Why then are people in iran or Pakistan or Afghanistan unable after all this time to reject the fundamentalists among their coreligionists ? Why are they not secular democracies ?
Is the fact that Russia as a dictatorship is nominally a Christian state relevant? Or that China is a anti-religious? Religion is only one aspect of power and history and accident, it's rarely the totality as you seem to imply.
It is sad that hamas uses human shields
But this can not be allowed to stand, hamas cannot be spared because they use human shields and embeds itself in the most densely populated places
Also islam is a political religion and its stated goal is to conquer and convert the whole world. Some people won’t just bend over, some people will resist. Please get used to it.
I don’t understand this at all. Why are people so blind?
This is not hate speech in anyway. Oppression of any people is evil, but no one community should be given so much bhaav over others too. Please stop it.
While it's fantastic that the #1 youth icon in the world is standing for Palestine, let's look at oppressed people beyond Palestine too. Blacks in America, Dalits in India and Muslims and LGBTQIA+ people worldwide. Now, traditionally our fight for human rights has been seen through a narrow lens of rights: equal opportunity in employment, hate speech etc. What Greta Thunberg's participation highlights is that the discourse of "social justice" for oppressed peoples can be broadened and intersected with "climate justice". The possibilities for research in law are limitless. For example:
- Look at the fight for recognition of same-sex marriage in India. With climate change, there will be new diseases cropping up and heatwave-related illnesses. More and more people will get hospitalised. If you don't allow same-sex marriages, then problems like family consent, next of kin etc will arise.
- Look at the CAA in India. Bangladesh and Maldives will probably get submerged in the next 100 years and cease to exist. Their citizens will naturally migrate to other countries as environmental refugees, including India . If you enact the CAA and bar Muslims from citizenship, where will they go?
etc etc etc.
These would all make fascinating project topics in law school.
