The law equivalent of doing IPM from NALSAR will probably be failing to reach an NLU and ending up at an expensive, subpar University like Nirma. You wouldn't be making fun of an IIMB student for not making it to IIMA, would you? (You won't be in a position to, you're pursuing your business degree from a Law University, know your place)

Do pcm if your only aim is to go abroad. Through engineering, finding a job overseas is much easier. Law is very restrictive in terms of shifting abroad (although there a few select big firms across London, New York and Singapore that hire India qualified lawyers); but again this number is very less.

Ramanuj is a totally self-made entrepreneur from an ordinary middle class family . Yet he gets only hate on LI, which is once again evident from the downvotes to the comments praising him. This is because of just two reasons:

1) He keeps criticising NLUs on social media (rightly) as overhyped and says that TLC grads can outdo NLU grads.

2) He is openly Centre-right and often criticises woke ideology on social media. He openly took on a certain GNLU grad influencer (darling of the left) who tried to cancel LawSikho.

Just admit it: this is the only reason you people hate him and you get jealous if he does well. You people keep raking up the dating webinar. Well, he apologised for it repeatedly. What more do you want?? He also didn’t do anything illegal. Some of your NLU alumni have done things that are a million times worse (plus illegal) yet they strut about arrogantly.

I have recently joined a T1 full-service law firm IP practice (which is not necessarily T1). I feel they are offering less than the industry standard and I don't know if it's something I should still pursue because I am not happy with the pay. It's not at par with the pay specified on various LI posts ( which says it's more than 13 LPA). As a fresher, I believe the HR is not inclined to consider my request for revaluing the remuneration.

If someone could comment on how I can pursue this forward, it will be very helpful.

They are telling you that it doesn't fit them. Why would you disbelieve them? Who do you think decided that there should be only two genders. When you accepted that as real, did you consider that for many years it was considered real that men are naturally superior to women and some people still believe that. Did you consider that many people similarly though that gay people were imagining it and could be cured back to normality?

They don't need to prove anything to you. You need to educate yourself.

Pretending you are being attacked when your bigotry is questioned is what is awful and manipulative. The whole idea of two genders is a Christian invention. It doesn’t cover everyone. They are not ‘claiming’ , they just are. And to tell them what they are doesn’t exist is denying their humanity. If butler was too much, google it. Many people have discussed their work in more accessible ways.

Your (probably valid) desire not to bear their emotional load all the time does not negate their experience. They may have serious mental problems resulting from dysphoria or the world's reaction to it or coincidentally. But then what? Does that confluence mean that they are simply attention seeking and that they should "get over" their gender identity? Some people have near incurable depression (or even physical illnesses) and their friends and family and caregivers may feel a tremendous emotional burden as a result. Should they simply "cheer up" or "get better"? I think that you are mixing up cause and effect.

You want to know why theyre all privileged? do you know what luxury beliefs are? read rob henderson.

Exactly- evidence of people telling a doctor or a scientist that they are non binary- there is nothing verifiable about that all. I could go around telling people im non binary- that doesnt make it so.

gay is about verifiable external behavior- they have sex with people of the same sex. Homosexuality is a real thing that we've found in every mammal. Nonbinary is purely an internal state of mind- a thing we havent found in other mammals. There is no way to verify. Gender identity is a very different kind of claim than sexuality. It worries me that you feel safe censoring people when you dont understand the basics of what kinds of claims are being made.

If someone claimed to me that they were gay but they continued to only be in heterosexual relationships- yes I would dispute if it was a reality based claim. I have a friend who claims to be bisexual but only ever dates men- she never dates women at all. I should have the ability to question why that is and whether she finds other women attractive even or if shes just claiming that identity for political clout.

No one is obligated to accept as gospel truth everything a trans person might say. To argue that they should because that is "kind" is essentially threatening social sanction for compliance.

Hindu- any religion- is about a belief system. Literally not scientifically provable. I can discuss how unbelievable I find the existence of flying monkeys or dudes who can turn water into wine or winged horses to be because we have free speech and we recognise that its okay for people to not subscribe to this belief system. If nonbinary people wanted to claim they were also a belief system- a religion- which i think is actually right- I wouldnt have any obligation to affirm their beliefs. I dont have any obligation to chant "allah hu Akbar" or "Jai Shri Ram' or " christ is king".

Many people on the internet claim they have multiple personalities and many people claim they have tourettes and many people claim they are a different race and many people claim they are a different age. It is not a necessary condition for a bona fide discussion to take their claims at face value. I am arguing in good faith- I actually have thought about it a long long time and cannot make sense of it. I
It is not in bad faith to argue that whatever experience one might be having - it might not actually be real. Leave trans aside- anorexics really really feel like they are fat. So much so that they starve themselves to death. By your logic- denying "the reality of their experience" - or doubting their beliefs would be unacceptable. How is trans/ nonbinary different?

If we are seeing that so many of these people claiming non binary identities are suffering from severe mental illnesses that in all other respects alter their perceptions of reality- I dont see why gender identity is sacrosanct.

Clearly people disagree with you. And if youre gonna keep censoring based on your belief system - and not on what is sayable within the parameters of free speech- you shouldnt be a moderator.

I'm not saying what you're going through isn't difficult. The problem with your thinking is that you are attributing behaviours you don't like to one characteristic of the individual, that they are non binary, and then you are suggested that all non binary people are like this.

Firstly, all the non binary people I know are extremely kind and gracious about mis gendering slip ups. They are not about people who persistently and deliberately misgender them after being corrected but that is understandable.

Secondly, your people are probably reacting to their environment. Everything you are saying now was said 20 years ago about gay and lesbian people. Being bullied and having to erase essential parts of who they are got to them. It was not their fault. Anyone would react to being treated that way. It is your institution's fault for not creating a better environment for them. It is also your institution's fault for not extending support to them as they struggle.

If you are too depleted to help, you can compassionately express your need for time and space. Letting resentment build and then engaging in what is effectively hate speech against a whole group isn't good for you and it definitely isn't good for the person you refer to.

And finally, no they don't all come from privilege. The ones who don't just suffer in silence because intersectionality makes everything worse. You probably have no idea who they are and may be saying these very hurtful, dehumanizing things to them.

There is evidence of the accounts of people. Do you disbelieve someone who is gay, for instance, until you get a brain scan that proves they are gay?

Agree this is a complex issue, but so is the mind and so are humans. There may be debate to be had about how the medical establishment and society should deal with this on a policy level, but if you start by denying the reality of the experience of all trans people, this is not a bona fide basis to the discussion.

Please keep on topic and on good faith.

the normal rule in the UK is that a PG degree is required with 65% in dissertation for admission to PhD, however, the PGR director may make exceptions for a candidate if the supervisors so recommend and the candidate may show experience equivalent to PG, this is extremely rare and I dont know anyone from the nlu ecosystem who has been able to do this in the UK

From Bhavish:

and their wokeness. As an Indian institution, Ola is for genuine actions on diversity. We run one of the largest women only automotive plants. Not 1 out of 10 lines, or a small section, but the whole plant! Almost 5000 women now and will grow to tens of thousands in the coming years. And regarding gender inclusivity, we don’t need lectures from western companies on how to be inclusive. Our culture didn’t need pronouns to be inclusive for thousands of years. .... On the other hand, the pronouns issue I wrote about is a woke political ideology of entitlement which doesn’t belong in India. I wouldn’t have waded into this debate but clearly Linkedin has presumed Indians need to have pronouns in our life, and that we can’t criticise it. They will bully us into agreeing with them or cancel us out. And if they can do this to me, I’m sure the average user stands no chance. As a founder and CEO, this western DEI system has a major impact on my business as it grows an entitlement mindset in our professional lives and I will fight it.

Well, well well! Our boy has now announced that he is cutting ties with Microsoft (parent company of LinkedIn) for censoring his “pronoun illness” post and is starting his own tech platform to compete with Microsoft. Also praises Ayodhya temple.

Will this now trigger a culture war in corporate India, with the right-wing/heteronormative/ 100 day work week camp of tech bros seeking Modi’s support?

sorry- why is this marked contested? are we saying that directly quoting hijras from news reports that are linked is not enough? shouldnt we be listening to the lived experiences of trans people?/s. Is the all india hijra kalyan sabha a radical right wing conservative organisation? or you simply not like what theyre saying because it goes against your ideology?

why should what is normally used be they them rather than sex based? if non binary/ trans people are such a minority why should everyone else be misgendered to cater to them?

Do you really think anyone looked at his photo and couldnt tell if he was a man or a woman? that men and women are indistinguishable on sight? this isnt a good faith argument.
