Advocate Kajal Chandra begins the webinar and introduces the panelist Justice AP Shah, Delhi High Court’s Former Chief Justice. Advocate Gayatri Virmani introduces Human Rights Activist Jagmati Sangwan.

#FreedomOfChoice
The moderator Adv Chandra questions Justice Shah: Do the freedom of Religious ordinance of laws stand the test of Constitutionality and in your opinion, do they violate the fundamental right of liberty including the freedom to choose? #FreedomOfOpinion
Delhi High Court’s Former Chief Justice AP Shah: This topic cannot be discussed without referring to the Indian Constitution that guarantees Justice, Liberty, Equality and Fraternity and protects dignity of individual and Unity and integrity of the Nation. #FreedomOfChoice
Shah states that the ordinance Uttar Pradesh Prohibition of Unlawful Conversion 2020 has been promulgated to combat perceived threat of #lovejihaad, a term used by Hindutva political leadership to describe inter- religion marriages and relationships.
Shah: It violates the freedom of conscience and fundamental right to practice Religion and strikes at the right to Life and Liberty guaranteed under Constitution. It operates on presumption of and even reinforces the notion of exclusion #FreedomOfChoice
Shah: It reinforces the the idea of Communalism as a desirable aid in itself. To worsen matters, it thrives on the notion of fear, as certain people are told that transgression will invite criminal sanction. #FreedomOfChoice
J. Shah: Under this ordinance, every Religious conversion is considered illegal & burden of proof is on accused to prove that conversion is not illegal. There is a presumption of guilt. Since its cognizable and non bailable, police can arrest the accused without a warrantz
J. Shah: Aversion of anti conversion laws in inter-faith marriages was floated in a 1909 book by Mr UN Mukherjee. The Hindu Mahasabha tried to gather support around idea that Muslim men are waging Jihaad in India through love marriages.
J. Shah states that #lovejihaad is a deliberate campaign that claims that Muslim men use love, seduction to convert Hindu and Christian women to Islam. The women are told to keep themselves pure to be proud Mothers of the Nation. #FreedomOfChoice
J. Shah : All the allegations that Muslim men are waging Jihaad through marriages have been proved wrong, and Inter-faith marriages are still a rarity. #FreedomOfChoice #LoveJihaadOrdinance
Justice Shah states that the Legislature and Executive have already failed us on this front, the question is what the Judiciary will do. We need to stop this utter destruction of Freedoms guaranteed by Constitution, and this can only be done by the Judiciary. #FreedomOfChoice
Atleast two High Courts, Gujarat and Allahabad have shown courage in granting relief under such discriminatory laws : J. AP Shah

#FreedomOfChoice #InterFaithMarriage
J. Shah: Unfortunately there seems to be no parity when it comes to exercise of power by the #SupremeCourt. While issues like farm laws, Maratha reservation capture Court’s attention, other cases like the CAA, Article 370& #Lovejihaad mysteriously invoke no response.
J. Shah: The #LoveJiaad Ordinance is itself mostly rhetoric, a mechanism for ruling party and politicians to pander to vote banks and create factions in society. We should treat this with appropriate caution. #FreedomOfChoice
AP Shah: #Lovejihaad ordinance reinforces the idea of a patriarchal Hindu state. Patriarchy and manhood feel threatened as women get liberated in modern times. The current BJP-led government has had an infamous history of revivalism, which takes the form of cultural Nationalism.
J. Shah: As Religious nationalism, it endorses a true-nation theory, which envisages the nation under Hindu rule, a Hindu Rashtra in Akhand Bharat, a United India! #FreedomOfChoice
J. Shah concludes by saying that the #LoveJihaad attacks the right of women to take choices, thereby attacking the Freedom of Choice.He states that lawyers should raise their voices against this, this is unacceptable in a society ruled by law & the Constitution #FreedomOfChoice
Advocate Kirti Singh: The entire drama of #LoveJihaad was only done to target inter-faith marriages & particularly Hindu and Muslim interfaith marriages. Both the boys and their families are being targeted as a result. It has created havoc already #FreedomOfChoice
Kirti Singh: The way forward will be to have a bill which deals with whole phenomenon of crimes and killings done in name of religion and tradition, which can only be done if we get rid of these draconian Ordinances passed by UP & MP govt. #LoveJihaadOrdinance #FreedomOfChoice
Singh refers to #SupremeCourt’s decision in case of Lata Singh vs State of UP, where it said that persons undergoing inter faith marriages can’t be harassed or threatened, even if their parents don’t approve of the marriage. #LoveJihaadOrdinance #FreedomOfChoice
Singh: There are honour crimes which are reported on a daily basis but no action is taken, as we have a society where arranged marriages are the norm. For this norm to break we’ve to take steps to bring a change in the environment. #FreedomOfChoice #InterFaithMarriage
Justice AP Shah states that while He is not opposed to arranged marriages, he believes that it should be an individual’s choice. A woman should have a choice while entering into a matrimonial relationship. #LovejihaadOrdinance #FreedomOfChoice #InterFaithMarriage

Supreme Court to consider shortly the petition filed by the Buffalo Traders Welfare Association against the 2017 Cattle Rules brought by the Centre under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act.


On the last hearing date, January 4, the CJI had warned that the Court will stay the Rules if the Centre does not withdraw them. The CJI observed that the Rules are contrary to the parent

Matter taken.

"What are you going to do about the rules", CJI asks the Solicitor General.

'We told you last time that Rules are in dissonance with the Sections. The animals are the source of livelihood for people. The section is clear that only after conviction that animals can be taken away. The Rules permit to take away animals even before conviction' - CJI

Solicitor General : The petitioner has confused between seizure and confiscation. An animal subject to cruelty cannot be allowed to be maintained by the person. As in the case of any seizure, the party can approach the court for custody.

Sr. Adv. Kapil Sibal states that he’s appearing for the Intervenors and has nothing to say at the moment.

Bhushan narrates the events to the Bench.

#SupremeCourt @pbhushan1 @KapilSibal

Bhishan: How can a private conversation be made a subject of inquiry ? What is the crime in having a private conversation, even if it’s about the conduct of a SC judge ? Without even saying into me, the HC orders an inquiry ? How can that be done ?

#SupremeCourt @pbhushan1

Bhushan: Your Lordship will need to issue notice and stay the inquiry as the inquiry is completely out of order.

Supreme Court takes up the petitions challenging the constitutionality of farmers laws.


Adv P Wilson @PWilsonDMK says he is appearing in one of the petitions challenging the Acts.

CJI : All the advocates who appeared yesterday(in PILs against farmers protests) are not seen today except for Mr. Dushyant Tiwari

Dushyant Tiwari : I have impleaded the farmers unions.

Solicitor General : There is a confusion. The first item is the petitions challenging the validity of laws.

CJI : We will not decide the validity of the laws today. The first and the only thing we will decide today is regarding the farmers protest and the fundamental right of citizens to move. The question of validity of laws can wait.

CJI : We will hear Mr. Salve, Mr. Parihar and other petitioners (in PILs against farmers protest)

Presenting you the 1st Phase Opinion Poll of West Bengal Vidhan Sabha Election 2021 by Bongo Prokash. It's a joint venture by me & @ThePaulSaheb, 2 more such polls will be out in March. Please give your feedback. Constructive criticism will be appreciated trolls will be blocked.


In Coochbehar, BJP is sweeping all the seats except Sitai. Udayan Guha losing, so is Rabindranath. Rajbongshis stay with BJP.


In Alipurduar it's a BJP landslide. BJP maintains it's Lok Sabha strength & adds with recent defection by good organization leaders from TMC.


In Jalpaiguri too BJP sweeps, TMC draws a blank.


In Darjeeling the game becomes interesting. GJM is a divided house now in alliance with TMC. Tamang & Gurung factions heavily divided. GNLF backs BJP. BJP+GNLF ahead in Siliguri, Phansidewa, Naxalbari while GJM marginally ahead in Kalimpong, Kurseong & at the moment in Darjeeling

Our #RepublicDay #TwitterTakeover with @glorious_gluten has begun!

For the next hour, she will be discussing the relationship between the #police, #State and the #law.

Join the conversation and send us your questions in the comments section.


On #26January, 2021, the Indian republic completes 71 years since its formation; against the background of a global pandemic that has starkly exposed its fault lines. | @glorious_gluten

The 299 member #ConstituentAssembly was unique for there were 15 women (including a #Dalit woman Dakshini Velayudhan) who were voted to be a part of the
Committee and make their contribution to the building of the republic. #RepublicDay | @glorious_gluten

The #Constitution has also been described as an elite document borrowing heavily from the
Government of India Act, 1935 and heralded by the upper echelons of the country.

The judiciary, army, the police are repositories of this colonial legislation. @glorious_gluten

Those living on the margins have mediated the everyday life of Constitutionalism in the country bringing the document to life as during the Pathalgadi movement led by Adivasis in Jharkhand. | @glorious_gluten

I want to explain what happened to tumblr overnight. And why Twitter as reached it's dream (or have come ever so close to it)

Yahoo, who bought Tumblr years ago, used to have a huge adult presence on the early net. They allowed adult groups and what not.

However, people and bots (just like now) misused the service, and Yahoo were forced to make a choice. They made private the groups (and later closed them down and sold some of it to other companies) and then ended their chatrooms on yahoo messenger...

after a incident with one of the chatrooms vid cams. The damage was done, Yahoo Messenger lost a lot of people - and with the closing of the groups - backpage and Craigslist came more important.

Now backpage is no more and Craigslist is slowly passing away. Tumblr had a semi strong community, but once 2014 came around and both porn, and political bots exploded the quality started to go down,

WHEN GH0RI TOOK TO HIS HEELS WHILST FIGHTING A HINDU QUEEN

THE BATTLE OF KASAHRADA (Kayadara)
1178 AD

Strategy! Bravado! Glory!

(Thread)


The narrative set by left historians about one of their favorite poster boys "Gh0ri" is that he went unchallenged upon entering the Indian subcontinent with one king falling after another.(1)

They conveniently deleted this event. Why? An agenda aimed at making us feel weak and inferior against the invaders in an attempt to glorify them. Simple strategy: To destroy a civilization tamper their history.(2)

Gh0ri defeated Prithviraj Chauhan at the 2nd Battle of Tarain in 1192 and laid the foundation of Delhi Sultanate. What is not well known is the fact that 14 years before he won this battle, he was defeated by the queen of Gujarat "Naiki Devi"!(3)

In 1173 Md Gh0ri had conquered the Ghaznavids in Afghanistan. A ruthless, persistent and deceptive Gh0ri was successful in conducting massive raids deep inside Indian territory.(4)

What does Gold- Backed mean?
The Chinese Elders have been accumulating gold for hundreds of years. They are gold-rich. Some of their gold was loaned to the Central Banking System so that it could fund the rebuilding of Europe after the many war-torn years from World Wars I and II

BTW they never returned it but used it to start their financial empire to enslave humanity. This is the Central Bank Banking System./2

Maybe this is why one of the conditions to use their gold for the QFS is the demise and full disclosure of the Central Bank banking system before the RV can take place./3

The Elders have caves of hidden gold and are now using it to gold-back the currencies in the QFS for every country in the world. It is important to understand that the QFS and the money it is about to release is all brand-new currency./4

It was designed by the Alliance to fund the new financial system that will reset all Currencies of the world to Gold-Backed currency./5

The 2020s will be known as the Remote Work decade

A few predictions of what is likely to emerge

[ a thread ] 💻🏠🌍

🏦Third Space: Office and Working from Home will be joined by somewhere close by that a number of people will use

Supermarkets or local bank branches should emerge as a convenient ubiquitous location option – if they are smart

⏰Asynchronous Work: Offices are instantaneous gratification distraction factories where synchronous work makes it impossible to get stuff done

Tools that enable asynchronous work are the most important thing globally remote teams need. A lot of startups will try to tackle this

⚽️Hobbie Renaissance: Remote working will lead to a rise in people participating in hobbies and activities which link them to people in their local community

This will lead to deeper, more meaningful relationships which overcome societal issues of loneliness and issolation

🚜Rural Living: World-class people will move to smaller cities, have a lower cost of living & higher quality of life

These regions must innovate quickly to attract that wealth. Better schools, faster internet connections are a must

The first area to focus on is diversity. This has become a dogma in the tech world, and despite the fact that tech is one of the most meritocratic industries in the world, there are constant efforts to promote diversity at the expense of fairness, merit and competency. Examples:

USC's Interactive Media & Games Division cancels all-star panel that included top-tier game developers who were invited to share their experiences with students. Why? Because there were no women on the

ElectronConf is a conf which chooses presenters based on blind auditions; the identity, gender, and race of the speaker is not known to the selection team. The results of that merit-based approach was an all-male panel. So they cancelled the conference.

Apple's head of diversity (a black woman) got in trouble for promoting a vision of diversity that is at odds with contemporary progressive dogma. (She left the company shortly after this

Also in the name of diversity, there is unabashed discrimination against men (especially white men) in tech, in both hiring policies and in other arenas. One such example is this, a developer workshop that specifically excluded men: https://t.co/N0SkH4hR35
