Seventy-five years after the Constitution came into force, India’s first uniform civil code laws have emerged—but as instruments of Hindutva rather than gender justice. Weaponised to stigmatise Muslims and expand state surveillance, they betray the constitutional vision of equity.
India’s medical education system prepares a workforce that learns early to value personal profit over their patient’s well-being.
Over the past decade, a series of ‘terrorism’ cases have crumbled. The ‘terror innocents’ who walk free only face a life of unfreedom.
Profits take priority over the wellbeing of patients, turning the sector into a business for wealth accumulation by any means, even unlawful and unethical.
Kashmiris and Muslims were the target of collective retribution in the midst of an outpouring of love, humanity and resistance following the terror attack.
The exclusion and criminalisation of Muslim citizens through laws and state action are not as explicit as in Nazi Germany, but they violate the Constitution.
India’s most populous hill state Uttarakhand is in unprecedented turmoil. It is the first State in India in which an influential and popular campaign for ethnic cleansing has gathered ominous momentum: a battle for the expulsion of all Muslims from the State.
The Meo Muslims of Nuh shared tight bonds and socio-cultural life with Hindus for centuries. But lynchings and hate killings since 2017 have torn them apart.
How long will India’s working people live with a policy regime that concentrates unimaginable levels of wealth in a few hands and leaves millions of people struggling for food, healthcare, decent schooling, work, and pensions when they age?
