Arpita SarkarJune 7, 20220

Forcing the people of the southern states to speak Hindi means imposing 'Manudharma' on them. The remarks came in the wake of remarks made by Union Home Minister Amit Shah on behalf of Hindi on the issue of "One Country One Language", a leader of the ruling DMK in Tamil Nadu.

I will end up as a Shudra, that is, a slave." Shah recently questioned the use of Hindi as the...

Definition Of Rape Should Be Gender Neutral: Kerala High Court

Arpita SarkarJune 2, 20220

The interpretation of rape in the Indian Penal Code should be gender-neutral, according to the Kerala High Court. In a recent divorce case, an old rape allegation was leveled against the father during a question about who the child would be with the parents. The father's counsel said his client had been granted bail in the case. He was falsely accused of having sex with a false promise of marriage.
