This is outrageous. I know how that University functions. It's always been like this. I'm proud of how you stand up for what is right and really appreciate your courage for calling out this total clamp down on free speech. My complete support.

Having seen the field for a while now, my concerns keep growing day by day. If a personal opinion has caused discomfort to the people occupying a constitutional position, then it has brought disgrace to the field.

More power to your decision for keeping the article published.

We live in weird times. This episode honestly had me question the basis of our entire legal system. Why should we give these subservient lawyers the power to decide how people should operate in their everyday lives?

Admirable that you've kept the article up. Keep it up.

You could replace India with Pakistan in this article and I honestly wouldn’t have noticed the difference. India can do so much better. Keep fighting the good fight brother.

When every other power bowed before the clownry king, only those who showed the spine made of steel would/should be hailed. Good stuff. More power to you, Rishi. (I've also read your reply to the college authority. The College must stand for what it profess in public domain rather than the Mandarin-like-Kowtow). 👌

I agree with you, man. Why is the court so concerned about a paragraph or a chapter in a school textbook? Doesn't it have more serious cases to handle than this?! If it really cared about what was written, it should've tried to become more accountable and transparent. Like we don't know how things work in India. You want to get anything done in this country quickly, do an under the table transaction. Works for everything.

I hope this article reaches more people now.

I was really impressed with how you presented your arguments in your post and fr your elaborative assessment of the substantiality of the court's judgement really gave much broader perspective.

And tbh signalling out inconsistencies within the system is not contempt of court (The court never said that, as you said in your argument). Some people do not want to hear criticism, and it's a concern when those people have the power (which ideally should be used for delivering justice and public welfare, but nvm).

This is what real activism looks like. You’re genuinely serving the legal field More power to you, man.
