India has to pass particular anti-SLAPP laws if it is to protect the constitutional right to free expression and guarantee strong public debate. Important clauses should be: an accelerated hearing for claimed SLAPP lawsuits, early dismissal of bogus claims, cost shifting to punish unfounded plaintiffs, and protections for digital intermediaries to oppose takedown demands. Defamation and legal notifications’ stifling effect will keep erasing India’s robust press and civil society without these changes.

Let us always remember what he has done. He has forgiven our iniquities, healed our diseases,
redeemed our lives and crowned us with love and compassion. He satisfies every believer with good
things and renews youth like an eagle.
I, though an atheist, am a real Muslim and a real Sikh, because I am totally against caste. Prophet Mohammed and Guru Nanak, if they had been alive today, would have blessed me, and they would have cursed today’s fake Muslims and Sikhs in the Indian subcontinent for practising something directly contrary to their teachings
Abdul Basit is as shameless as Gen Munir, but is an intelligent man, who knows which side his bread is buttered. He knows that it is dangerous to speak against the Pakistan army or its chief, for the real ruler of Pakistan is its army. So he does not want to be ‘disappeared’, as has been the fate of many critics of the Pakistan Establishment.

He may have failed as a cricketer, but his willingness to start afresh in another field shows maturity and self-awareness.

Similarly, while the caste system resulted in great oppression of the dalits, etc it also had a positive aspect. Without an intellectual section of society ( the Brahmins ) there would have been no Aryabhat, Brahmagupta, Bhaskar, Varahamihira, Sushrut, Charak, Kalidas, Panini, Patanjali, Vijnaneshwar, Valmiki, Kapila, Gautam, the atheists ( the materialist thinkers, the Charvakas) and the other great Indian philosophers and men of science, art, law, etc. So without Brahmins there would have been no progress in the feudal age in India.

Herbert ran to third base, while the runners ahead of him circled home. When Herbert reached third base, the children from both teams and the spectators were all standing, shouting, “Run to home, run to home!” Herbert ran to home plate, stood on the base with his arms up in triumph, smiling widely, looking at his father… while, strangely, the players from both teams cheered and hugged him like the hero who hit the grand slam and won the game for his team.

I have also explained that the developed countries do not want India to emerge as a modern industrial giant, like China, for if it does, then with our cheap labour we will undersell the goods of the industries of developed countries, making the latter collapse ( since they will not be able to face our competition ), throwing millions out of employment.
