Who Decides Guilt: The Court or the Bullet?

A Question We Don't Like to Ask Here’s a question that makes most people uncomfortable: if the police shoot a man dead before any court has heard his side, who exactly decided he was guilty? We’ve all grown up watching news anchors call it an “encounter” almost like it’s a good word — a clean word, a word that sounds like justice finally happened. A criminal was caught, shots were fired, and the criminal is now dead. End of story, right? Except it isn’t the end of the story.

Now imagine being told, almost overnight, that the dream must wait three more years. This is exactly what happened to thousands of law graduates across India when the Supreme Court decided that no one can become an entry-level judge without first practising as a lawyer for three years. What started as one court order has turned into one of the most talked

Sovereignty Is Non-Negotiable: The Urgent Need for a National Immigration Law

The Refugee Shield Has Become a Gateway for Illegal Immigration — and Ordinary Indians Are Paying the Price The Question Every Indian Deserves an Answer To Here is a straightforward question that rarely gets asked plainly enough. When an undocumented person from another country enters India without papers, acquires a fake Aadhaar card, registers on a voter list, settles into a city slum, and then — when caught — claims to be a refugee deserving international protection, what
