We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.

i will intern accordingly
Hope this helps. Don't worry about it. Your uni is in a very good place, all things considered in our stupid country.
Firms aren’t built to help anyone grow. They’re built to keep people replaceable. If you're smart and can be independent, they see a threat. Might as well try doing the opposite then. Stop asking for permission. Finally, stop mimicking people you don’t want to become.
Hopefully now NLSIU will see some sense and institute a policy where SC/ST students are not made to pay fees for dropping a year. They should additionally be given extra coaching to help them pass. A 5 mark concession in the pass mark can also been given, or perhaps an open book exam model. You expect someone with 3,000 years of poverty and psychological trauma to pass exams meant for privileged elites?

1. Establishment version: The student was caught cheating with a mobile phone (using ChatGPT) by the invigilator, Prof Suryanarayan Dulla. He returned to his room and committed suicide.
2. Student's parents version: Absolutely fake reason by the admin. This was a planned conspiracy to pick on the student because he was an SC. Prof Dulla was hurling casteist abuse at the student for the past 3 months, at the behest of the IITB Director, Prof Shireesh Kedare.
3. Student's version: It seems to be split. A large section of SC/ST students, as well as humanities students (from all communities) are protesting and alleging institutional caste bias. On the other hand, most general category non-humanities students (i.e. engineering and MBA) seem to be largely quiet.
Latest development is that a case has been filed against Prof Dulla under the SC/ST Act and BNS. Two other have been named in the FIR but their names have not been disclosed in the media: is one of them the IITB Director? Now we have to see if Prof Dulla and the IITB Director will be arrested.
Meanwhile, opinion on Reddit is mixed. Some support the admin, some support the parents.
But what about NLUs? Any similar cases? Are SC students picked on?

I am unsure of why you feel taking medications will undo your neurodiversity, leading you to say "I don't have plans on taking any medications because I feel being neurodivergent has helped with a lot of things". It will only channel it better in my personal experience. Let the medical professionals take a call on whether or not you need medications. You aren't qualified, informed, or equipped to make that call.
Whether you take medication or not, go to a psychologist who knows these conditions well and undergo CBT. Medicine can only take you from A to B. Holistic treatment by including therapy and any other lifestyle modifications is what is shown to have the biggest effect. Any medication will help your brain focus better, get distracted less. But where you choose to focus can't be corrected by medication. So first try to understand your own neurodiversity better and please stop seeing it as something that needs a "fix".
"To marry Periyar was a decision taken by Maniammai, and to talk as if Periyar was the only party involved in the marriage is to rob Maniammai of her agency. And let’s not forget Maniammai’s age when she got married – 32! She was a mature adult who had the right to decide for herself. No one can assume the right to speak for her especially when there’s no evidence that she has conveyed any sort of displeasure over the marriage. "

There is a reason why after Kamaraj, the Congress committed suicide in Tamil Nadu. Its own Mylapore and Chettiar clique is responsible for what happened to its prospects.
Kamaraj knew the limits of the Tamilian in the Indian construct. He also knew why a Northerner would not survive in Tamil Nadu. Annamalai also just learnt a tough lesson.
While you can scream endlessly against Dravidian politics, the southern states have shed the shackles of caste. The northern Dalit remains one angry mob away from a lynching.

Our masters profit above all else, as each of them saves the country.
Any guidance on the above factors, and perhaps on the work environment therein would be of great help. Thanks in advance!

Yes, he was/is Dean of the School of Liberal Education at Galgotias. Now seems to have joined Woxsen University. What's the problem? Gaglgotias has many upper caste faculty also.

This is a moment of reckoning for the humanities, with even the CJI considering a petition about the BA-LLB programme, stating that the humanities subjects don't add any value to legal education.
Where do all these developments leave the NLUs?
I realise it’s a bit of a jump and I’m not really sure how difficult the transition would be at this stage.
For people practising in Mumbai, how would you suggest I go about it? Chambers, small disputes firms, large firms? Cold emails, references, networking?
And does 2 years of HC litigation experience count for much here, or would I essentially be starting from scratch?
Would really appreciate some candid advice from anyone who’s made a similar switch.
I have an LLM, is that enough?
Are there any good advocates/seniors in MP whom I can consider joining under?
I am also confused between Indore and Jabalpur. If I want to practice primarily in the High Court, how are the two cities in terms of quality of work, exposure, and opportunities? For people who have practised in MP, which of the two would you suggest for someone starting out in litigation, and why?
