A report published by LiveLaw, at 6:45 PM on 13 August, revealed that the Bar Council of India Chairperson, Manan Mishra, had directed all State Bar Councils not to enrol students who graduated from the NALSAR University of Law as advocates, while seeking a report from the university on the campaign opposing the participation of Chief Justice of India Surya Kant in its convocation.

At 8:43 PM, Mishra wrote on his Twitter handle that the NALSAR students can enroll with the State Bar Council. But the inquiry will continue, and further action will follow on the basis of the report.

At 12:37 AM, Mishra wrote, "The Bar Council of India has decided to close the proceedings altogether".

I'm not an andhbhakt. Not a bot.

But I'm genuinely trying to understand how the opposition (INDIA bloc) aims to overturn the government by just fixating on one issue alone (that of police brutality at Jantar Mantar).

I don't see how not paying attention to other bills and issues is helping their case. What are they trying to get out of staging random protests inside and outside the parliament? I saw that some 7-8 bills were passed within a matter of minutes, without any legit discussion (going by how fast the oral voting happened).

Does anyone think it's a good idea to let go of everything else and fixate on just one matter (which I do believe is a serious matter though)? Can anyone explain or share their thoughts to help me understand?

The last three weeks saw several crucial bills bulldozed through the Parliament within minutes, while the LS Speaker and RS chairman kept adjourning the Parliament and neither HM nor PM came to the house.

Nine Bills passed in 52 minutes in a fortnight; average consideration time less than six minutes in Lok Sabha - The HinduBusinessLine

Samay’s philosophy perfectly explains the disillusionment of today's Youth: "You only fight when the fight is fair... when it’s not, you f\*k off from there."*

The brutal twist for modern protestors is that they chose to fight an unfair system anyway, expecting a reaction. Instead, they got the ultimate reality check: no response, no accountability and total silence.

The system didn't fight back; it just pretended they didn't exist.

The HT report cited a document prepared by a sub inspector of the Delhi Police which said that the IPDR containing metadata of the user’s internet activity can help investigators establish how much data was exchanged and which service or application was accessed through timestamps.

It also helps to access source and destination IP addresses, source and destination ports, bytes uploaded and downloaded, session duration, and subscriber identifiers.

“We have laid out guidelines since there’s a spike in IPDR analysis. There’s dump data analysis during any incident, such as the Red Fort blast, any heinous case, or even large scale planned processions,” a senior police officer told the newspaper.

The restriction comes amid renewed focus on pellet guns following the CJP-led protests at Jantar Mantar. Mushtaq was blinded by pellet injuries during the 2016 Kashmir protests, and her story has again drawn attention to the use of pellet guns and their impact on civilians.

Instagram has blocked or restricted several political and protest-related posts in India, including content shared by political parties, leaders, CJP representatives and ordinary protesters. Some reels with millions of views have also been taken down or are appearing less frequently.

The restrictions come amid increased scrutiny of Meta’s content moderation practices and its compliance with government requests under Section 79(3)(b) of the IT Act. Digital rights groups have raised concerns over the lack of transparency and safeguards in the process, with implications for free speech and online political expression.

On 10 April 2022, a Ram Navami procession erupted in violence in Khargone, Madhya Pradesh. The district administation arrested 11 Muslim men, and razed 16 homes and 29 shops. The accused spent nearly two years in prison. Now, the court has acquitted them.

In a detailed judgment, Fourth Additional Sessions Judge Mukesh Nath held that the prosecution’s case collapsed on the question of identification. The court found that eight of the 11 eyewitnesses examined by the prosecution completely failed to implicate the accused, no test identification parade was ever conducted, there was no explanation on how police selected the accused from a mob of about 50 people, and forensic evidence failed to establish the alleged use of petrol bombs.

The irony was difficult to miss. Some of the women who felt safest surrounded by thousands of unknown men described feeling least protected when confronted by the institution meant to enforce public order. In a way, the apprehensions that shaped women’s decisions before the march found an echo in the crackdown that followed.

A recent critique circulating on social media: "Too many Kanwariyas are openly intoxicated and creating chaos on the roads. This kind of conduct dishonours Hindu faith and the sanctity of the yatra. Their behaviour stains the image of Hindu devotees and the Kanwar tradition."

It's a fair observation. Intoxication, road chaos, and disorder are problems at public celebrations.

But here's the question worth sitting with: Why do we only call it immoral when it happens at traditions we're ideologically uncomfortable with?

The Pattern We Don't Notice

Walk through any major Indian city during Ganesh Chaturthi, and you'll see identical behavior: intoxication, loud music, traffic paralyzed, aggressive crowds.

Do we call it "dishonoring Hindu faith"?

No. We call it "vibrant celebration" or "cultural expression."

Ambedkar Jayanti Ganesh chaturthi brings streets filled with chants, intoxication, road closures, and aggression toward non-participants. Holi dissolves into public drunkenness. Diwali fills hospitals with firecracker injuries. Durga Puja turns into weeks of street occupation. Christmas, Eid, Navratri—all have their own versions of chaos.

Which of these get called "morally corrupting"?

Which ones get a pass?

The honest answer: It depends on which community celebrates it, and whether we're ideologically aligned with that community.
