LI readers are normally liberal and progressive, but on topics concerning LGBTQIA+ rights their bigotry comes out. The comments here are homophobic, heteronormative, transphobic and TERF max. It shows the sad reality that the left in India, including Gen Z left-liberals, have a lot to learn. You guys can’t support freedom for Palestine on one hand but oppose freedom for non-binary people on the other (which includes the right to gender diversity, inclusivity and non-discrimination).

Do better guys.

1.It doesn't make pregnancy seem like an illness. You are the one who is doing that.The research into pain you are talking about is not limited to women who go through pregnancy. If anything this is a long overdue recognition.

2.Including binary/trans/intersex people in such criteria has nothing to do with female bodies not receiving adequate medical assistance. This assists inclusion and social justice, if anything.

3.You seem distracted while talking about use of pregnant person, you seem to have let your bigotry spread into the territory, unrelated to the discussion - traditional parenting roles, which you seem very desperate to enforce upon "men" and "women". This shows that you actually seem quite dreadful if a woman doesn't fit her traditional role as a mother, working as a unpaid labourer.

A man with a penis won't be able to get pregnant but others without it can. I bet you don't even know the atrocities that such trans/non binary and also intersex people face. Our legal system doesn't even recognise the existence of intersex individuals despite them being 1 out of 100 people. Your insensitivity is disheartening, yet unsurprising.

I can go on, correcting you, trying to make you understand, but you probably won't care.

Though it's fine to doubt yourself amid these elites who came from prior legal background or those who prepared for almost 2 years and try to flaunt some legal terms which are available in almost every other coaching module but we also have to considered that the so calle consortium has deteriorated the level of exam so much that even a toddler can go through it especially legal or english section.

Yes, I did.

I got into CAM, Trilegal, LKS, Khaitan. All of these without any contacts and via proper applications to the HR.

Now people will start downvoting and saying that I’m lying but that’s not true. You can get through (it’s maybe a lucky shot) but that can happen.

Idk since I am not from an NLU. However I did have a friend in my school, a rather expensive one. Infact, the school was shit expensive! But then my dear friend went to the third best NLU while I out of quota chap did not despite my dear friend having a rank that was lower than mine. I remember him being afflicted by certain racist / casteist incidents but this was conveyed through social media. I had little to no sympathy but yeah, no one should be at the receiving end of such incidents.

At my college, I didn't see any caste-based discrimination, but definitely cliques and peer groups were formed between people coming from similar backgrounds, and that way, a lot of people from the reserved categories were left to fend for themselves. Of course, there were people in this category who were friends with people from a much higher economic strata, but they were few and far.

I think its better to take money off and realise some of the profits instead of just having notional profit. Also, have heard the same thing that BJP may not get as many seats as they are hoping and market is trying to price any shock so that if that happens, there is not much euphoria. But if it doesn't happen then market recovers and stabalises.

Have few challenges at my end, otherwise I would love to sell some of my positions and pocket the money.

Elections bring about unstable markets for some time at least. That's an age old trend. These elections are very, very intensely contested, more so than the 2019 ones. The 2019 results were clear as day, the BJP-majority and BJP-led NDA was going to form the Central Government second time over, no matter what. That degree of certainty, dies not present itself this time around. These elections are going to be contested till the very last phase, and tides could sway in either coalition's favour.

Depends on whether you DT and IDT. In DT Accounting concepts are heavier than IDT, do a CA foundation/inter accounts playlist on YouTube, learn accounting concepts, journal entries, ledgers etc so that you can understand the flow of assessments. If you are in IDT and even in general I would advise doing a course on Excel and practice filing returns. Visit any CA/Tax practitoner near you and say "Sir I'm gonna join a law chamber I just wanna practice one or two returns. Try filing GSTR-1,3B to understand the various tabs they have in the return or just ask the CA for dummy data on which you can practice. Come July or so visit the CA office and ask to sit with someone who is filing a Income tax return. I know this sounds too much but trust me worth it in the long run. You will be solid on grassroot basics.

OMG which CLAT coaching centre is making kids read Nani Palkhivala? And then these kids then come to LI posting comments about him??

Dude, please stay a 100 feet away from his books. He is a right-wing elitist who makes ridiculous rants: supporting privatisation, opposing caste reservation, supporting tax cuts for the rich and corporates, opposing the right of illiterate/poor people to vote and be in Park (when in fact they need voting rights and MP-ships the most). Palkhivala is literally the Harish Salve of the boomer generation and it’s no surprise that Salve is one of his biggest admirers.

If you gain admission to an NLU, you will see that no one takes him seriously and no one cites him in any projects. Please change your coaching centre and your choice of books! If you really want to read something that will help you in law school, read Caste Matters by Suraj Yengde (a simple but excellent book explaining casteism) and various writings by Gautam Bhatia on constitutional law.

A friend shared a video of PK on his Jan Suraaj yatra in Bihar, PK seems to have taken an adversarial tone in reaching out to the future supporters of his party. In one of his speeches he said and I translate and paraphrase: irrespective of whatever people of Bihar may actually know they would surely claim to know about politics, there are no roads no sanitation no school yet the elderly in a village asked me about my thoughts on Gaza, we should think about our roads and schools first and then think about the state then the country and then elsewhere.

Context: A TV debate I saw about the possibility of a population control law in Modi 3.0.

QUESTION:

Provide 3 arguments for and 3 against Sanjay Gandhi’ population control policy, where poor and uneducated men with more than two children were forcibly made to undergo a vasectomy. Base your arguments on theories such as utilitarianism and natural rights.

ANSWER FROM CHAT GPT:

Sure, let's break it down:

Arguments For Sanjay Gandhi's Population Control Policy:

1. Utilitarianism: Sanjay Gandhi's policy aimed to reduce the population growth rate, which could have led to a variety of societal benefits such as alleviating poverty, reducing strain on resources, and improving living conditions for future generations. From a utilitarian perspective, sacrificing the rights of a few for the greater good of society could be justified if it leads to the overall happiness and well-being of the majority.

2. Resource Management: Overpopulation can strain essential resources like food, water, and housing, leading to increased competition and conflict. By limiting population growth through coercive measures, Sanjay Gandhi's policy could have helped ensure the equitable distribution of resources and improved the quality of life for all citizens, including the poor and uneducated.

3. Public Health: High population growth rates can exacerbate public health issues, such as overcrowded hospitals, inadequate access to healthcare, and the spread of diseases. By reducing the number of births through vasectomies for certain segments of the population, the policy could have contributed to better healthcare outcomes and improved overall public health conditions.

Arguments Against Sanjay Gandhi's Population Control Policy:

1. Violation of Natural Rights: Coercing individuals, especially poor and uneducated men, into undergoing vasectomies infringes upon their fundamental human rights, including the right to reproductive autonomy and bodily integrity. From a natural rights perspective, individuals have the inherent right to make decisions about their own bodies and reproductive choices without government interference.

2. Eugenics Concerns: Sanjay Gandhi's policy could be criticized for its potential to disproportionately target certain socioeconomic or demographic groups, raising concerns of eugenics or social engineering. By forcibly sterilizing poor and uneducated men, the policy could perpetuate inequalities and discrimination based on class, education, or other factors, rather than addressing the root causes of overpopulation.

3. Ethical Considerations: The use of coercive measures such as forced vasectomies raises ethical questions about the means used to achieve a desired end. Even if the policy aimed to address pressing societal issues, the ends do not justify the means if they involve violating individuals' rights or resorting to unethical practices. Instead, alternative approaches that respect human dignity and promote voluntary family planning could be pursued to address population growth more effectively.
