Re­li­gions of per­pe­tra­tors and vic­tims of at­tacks were not a de­cid­ing fac­tor in sen­tenc­ing, but where’s the proof?

In In­dia, dis­sent and pur­suit of jus­tice are anti-na­tion­al ac­tiv­i­ties.

The gov­ern­ment’s ban­ning over­drive has caused In­dia more em­bar­rass­ment than the film.

Be­sides be­ing overt­ly anti-Chris­t­ian, the pro­posed anti-con­ver­sion law would negate the con­sti­tu­tion’s sec­u­lar val­ues.

Sec­tion 66A of cy­ber law is said to be crux of prob­lem as it has been (mis)used to trig­ger off com­mu­nal vi­o­lence.

Caste-blind ju­di­cia­ry fails Dalit vic­tims as num­ber of sex at­tacks are re­port­ed against for­mer un­touch­ables.

Re­li­gious hard­lin­ers are hav­ing a field day as loop­holes in law threat­en In­dia’s sec­u­lar democ­ra­cy.

Un­en­cum­bered free­dom of ex­pres­sion re­mains a utopi­an dream with re­li­gious elec­tion­eer­ing a sad re­al­i­ty in the coun­try.
