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.
Note that what you find here is written and moderated by anonymous people on the internet.
Therefore everything you read here is very likely unverified, rumour, speculation and/or downright false.
In continuing to read anything here, you must therefore agree not to take anything you read here as factual and that you will exercise due caution, diligence and common sense before acting on any information you may come across here.
You also agree to report any inaccurate or malicious comments with the buttons. Moderators take action within 24 hours, as required and appropriate under law.
Our full terms and conditions apply too.
Do you solemnly agree to all of the above?

People of LI, have some shame. If you are feeling any form of recoil or disgust at the above comment, saying its not made in 'good faith'. Rethink your moral assessment, you hypocrite 'secular'.
I know that Sumit is an SC himself but he has never engaged in identity politics and has written about not using any SC certificate and entering NLSIU on pure merit. He also used a caste-neutral surname named after the Buddha. So his is not an identitiarian critique but an objective juridical critique.
Is that the issue then? That only identitarian critiques count?? If you can explain who this Goutham is and what exactly he said, we will understand better.
dharma is upholding the truth and protecting the weak (equity in its purest form), when the incumbent try to consolidate, stratify and pass on the mantle it is no longer dharma
take the good things, you can enjoy wagner without subscribing to his philosophy etc. argument
There are hundreds of relevant sayings one can find from these books, concerning justice and fairness. It would also be a very secular gesture at a time secularism is under threat in India.
Hope NLSIU students and alumni will consider this.
The lack of discussion on the case in LI makes me think that either the moderator has perhaps not been allowing it. But this is an article in the Wire by an eminent NLSIU alum, so hopefully it will be allowed.
