 "The opposition to conversion is less about protecting faith and more about safeguarding entrenched systems of power that rely on keeping socially stigmatized groups within Hinduism. These upper caste forces benefit by retaining demographic dominance, securing political control, maintaining economic dependence, reinforcing cultural supremacy, and preserving caste hierarchies."

 T. Chiranjeevulu , IAS (Ret) The below text is based on the speech given by T. Chiranjeevulu,  LINK "Yesterday, they held a 'Gaddar Awards' program and spent 11 crores. They paid an anchor 60 lakhs. The BC Corporation was allocated 1367 crores. They want to turn BCs into beggars, forcing them to survive on leftover scraps. How can they spend 300 crores on a fashion show? It seems being born as a Hindu BC is considered a sin in this country. We are discussing how justice is being served to the BCs and Bahujans in this state, which was formed with the sacrifice of 1,200 martyrs. Since we are talking about funds, let's discuss how much has come to Telangana. We organized this meeting to discuss whether any justice is being done for the BCs in this state since its formation. Since last February, we have been protesting, stating that the budget is doing injustice to BCs and demanding justice. On February 2nd, we held a press meet at the Somajiguda Press Club regard...

Post-retirement jobs influence current judicial decisions in the Supreme Court of India through a quid pro quo dynamic, where the prospect of future employment creates a strategic incsoucentive for judges to rule in favour of the government. This influence is driven by several institutional and personal factors outlined in the sources: 1. The Government as a Primary Employer Supreme Court justices in India face a mandatory retirement age of 65 and are constitutionally barred from practicing law in any Indian court after they step down. This makes the union government the largest and most prestigious employer for retired judges, offering desirable roles in various commissions and tribunals. 2. Desire for Continued Power and Influence The attraction of these jobs is often not purely financial. Instead, these roles allow retired judges to continue influencing policy matters and remain active in public life. This desire for continued relevance makes government-appointed position...

MOHAN GURUSWAMY: Soon after the attack on Kiev stalled, President Putin sent the western alliance (NATO +EU) into a tizzy by announcing that Russia has put its nuclear defences on alert. What he was ambiguously stating was that the entire panoply of Russian air and space defences will be of a heightened alert status. These defences are meant to largely neutralise an incoming nuclear assault leaving enough Russian “first strike” nuclear forces of land based and highly accurate nuclear missiles standing to be able launch a devastating counter strike. But what he was doing was to introduce nuclear calculus into the security equation. He was telling the west that any attempt to impose a ‘no-fly’ zone over Ukraine will entail a war with Russia. Biden sensibly baulked and blinked!  The threat of an implicit nuclear escalation is not uncommon. Many declared and undeclared nuclear countries constantly resort to it. Several times in the past senior Pakistani officials have warned that dispu...

The Big Picture: A landmark study reveals that Supreme Court of India judges are significantly more likely to rule in favor of the government when they have the incentive of securing prestigious post-retirement jobs. Why it matters: The findings suggest a form of "institutional corruption" that undermines judicial independence, as the executive branch uses future employment as a "carrot" to influence current legal decisions. Driving the news: Researchers analyzed 15 years of data (1999–2014) to determine if career concerns—specifically the desire for government-appointed roles after the mandatory retirement age of 65—swayed judicial outcomes. How it works: ·        The 47-Week Rule: Incentives to pander are strongest for judges who retire at least 47 weeks before a general election . At this point, the current government is likely to still be in power to reward them. ·        Strategic Authorship: Pandering is...
