On this day (September 6), the Supreme Court of India decriminalised consensual same-sex relations in its 2018 #NavtejJoharjudgement. We reached out to some folks behind the petitions and asked them what hasn't changed. Check out what they told us: 1/2
Written by senior advocate Saurabh Kirpal, Who is Equal? explores the ever-changing necessity of equality in our democratic republic. Here's my review for @NewIndianXpress , @PenguinIndia newindianexpress.com/lifestyle/book…
Loving the series on the people behind the seminal judgements of the Supreme Court by @apurva_hv for @IndianExpress - the latest on the woman whose case ushered in the first amendment to the constitution indianexpress.com/article/long-r…
#ExpressOpinion | “Rights are surely not transactional — the loss of freedom should not be the price for the pursuit of liberty” @KirpalSaurabh on what the Supreme Court’s terms of relief for Ranveer Allahbadia mean for the liberty of citizens and freedom of the press…
#BREAKING: PM-in-exile Sheikh Hasina appears in public for the first time since the coup in Bangladesh. Seen here during a morning walk in New Delhi.
Equality reveals itself in many forms. Saurabh Kirpal’s third book elucidates the constitutional insights into equality in various facets of employment, business, women, politics, religion and gender that encompass the making of a nation. @KirpalSaurabh
Everyone wants equality. But is there a one-size-fits-all equality that will satisfy everyone? @KirpalSaurabh on his new book Who is Equal? On the Sandip Roy Show on @ExpressPodcasts. @PenguinIndia indianexpress.com/audio/the-sand…
Urban Elite versus the Union of India! A chronicle about the marriage equality judgment. Had a chance to read this thoroughly gripping book and LOVED it.

Any idea/leads about where one can buy the constituent assembly debates? Not online - old fashioned books!
Very true. Not too far a stretch to argue that the courts exist for the citizens too. But then we’re in December and not October
