Example: Wikipedia's article on Aurangzeb underplays his bigotry and quotes Audrey Truschke, an obscure academic outside of Twitter. Britannica's article on Aurangzeb is written by Percival Spear, eminent professor of history at Cambridge and a very respected historian. And Spear says:
"In general, Aurangzeb ruled as a militant orthodox Sunni Muslim; he put through increasingly puritanical ordinances that were vigorously enforced by muḥtasibs, or censors of morals. The Muslim confession of faith, for instance, was removed from all coins lest it be defiled by unbelievers, and courtiers were forbidden to salute in the Hindu fashion. In addition, Hindu idols, temples, and shrines were often destroyed."
Does anyone have an idea of how much the salary range would be? Is it worth it to join?

Other countries also respect their local scholarship. In India, the research is just plagiarised by think tank, policy outfits, NGOs, lawyers and others who have the financial and cultural capital to claim it publicly as their own. No one bothers to ask scholars because everyone assumes they are bad. No one calls out the individuals stealing the work.
Why would anyone bother to spend months to publish something that will only circulate if someone famous steals it. If we cite Indian legal scholars and treat their work with respect then more people will want to be legal scholars.
1. Be prepared to finish your presentation in 5 minutes. The actual time given is often less than the time specified.

3. Sometimes you may feel

This is an especially impressive feat as he is from the 2007 batch and around 40 years of age. He has been designated before anyone from the 2005 and 2006 batches. He has also been designated alongside two much senior alumni from NLSIU who are around 10 years older (Phiroze Edulji and Vipul Kundalia).

So glad to see that conversations like these are finally getting mainstaged.
Government does stuff =/= socialism.
Not attacking anyone, just mentioning how different the understanding of socialism is from what actual socialism entails.
but sometimes I get scared that I am not doing good enough in comparison to my batch mates and others who are in T1 and T2, earning 1/2 lakhs more than me, that maybe I am a failure and incompetent and all.
Please guide and provide thoda motivation guys.
Thanks.
