It is what it is

Image
Imagine a country or a society that is optimised to become a slave. To analyse this kind of a country, one must need to not only know its culture, its aspirations, its achievements, but also the way it laughs on something or the way it gets on that quality of people who get angry or the quality of people who laugh on what. Now, if one sees an analysis of texts and writings, we see two distinct things between 7th century AD, 6th century AD and beyond. Beyond there is one phase and before that there is another phase. Now, those two phases are the phases in which one can divide this society into the brave society and the coward society. And the coward society became a slavish society and the article here explores how and why at some level this nation or society has become an optimised coward and a slave society post a particular time period. Coming back to how do we break it into two parts, I have used a particular reference called bravery of texts. Now what does bravery of texts mean? It...

THE TRANSATLANTIC SLAVE TRADE - WHY THE H1B VISA CRISES IS THE REDEMPTION WE NEED

Image
  Introduction - The Slave Industry of Dahomey (modern Benin) The Atlantic slave trade was one of the most profitable industry for the kings of west Africa. While Ashanti (present day Ghana) and King Alphonso of the region known as Congo were active profiteers none matched the capture and supply network of   King Gezo of Dahomey (modern Benin, early–mid 19th century). Gezo declared: “The slave trade is the ruling principle of my people. It is the source and glory of their wealth.” The transatlantic slave trade, which persisted for 366 years and resulted in the forced deportation of 12.5 million Africans to the New World, ranks as one of history’s greatest crimes against humanity.     it was not driven by hatred and a desire to exterminate an entire people The overriding motive that lay behind the uprooting, enslavement, and coerced long-distance transport of millions of sub-Saharan Africans was (economic) greed. ( DAVIS, DAVID BRION, et al. “Foreword.” At...

Judicial Misconduct and Legislative Collusion in India: An Analysis of Major Cases with Comparative Perspectives

Prologue The Indian judiciary is often regarded as the ultimate guardian of the Constitution, entrusted with ensuring justice and protecting citizens from executive overreach. Yet, its reputation has been repeatedly marred by episodes of misconduct, ranging from corruption to nepotism and sexual harassment allegations. This paper surveys significant cases of judicial misconduct, based on media reports and Arun Shourie’s Who Will Guard the Guards? The Not So Honourable. It also examines instances of collusion between the judiciary and legislature, where political compromises have shielded judges from accountability. By comparing India’s accountability structures with those of the United States and the United Kingdom, this paper highlights systemic weaknesses and underscores the urgent need for reform. Introduction Judicial independence forms the cornerstone of Indian democracy. While the framers of the Constitution envisioned judges as impartial arbiters, entrusted with interpreting the...

Justice Denied? The Disconnect Between India’s Legal System and the Common Citizen

  Prologue India’s legal system is one of the largest and most complex in the world, grounded in constitutional ideals of justice, equality, and fairness. Yet, for ordinary citizens, the lived experience of law is often alienating, inaccessible, and prohibitively expensive. This paper examines the persistent disconnect between India’s legal system and its people. Drawing upon academic literature, case studies, and media reports, it identifies structural challenges such as judicial delays, high costs, complex procedures, and low levels of legal literacy as core obstacles to access to justice. The article also highlights how undertrial prisoners, industrial disaster victims, and marginalized farmers bear the brunt of systemic deficiencies. In addition to analyzing reforms such as Lok Adalats, legal aid services, and e-court initiatives, it compares India’s practices with the United States and the United Kingdom. The paper concludes by offering policy recommendations for systemic ...

THE ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS LLMs

  Large language models (LLMs) aka ChatGpt are accused of being the death of original research. They can pump out “papers” in seconds, complete with citations, jargon, and all the usual trappings of academic seriousness. To many, this feels like cheating . But let’s be honest: ChatGPT didn’t destroy research. It just revealed how hollow much of it already was. We’ve created a research ecosystem that rewards bulk, not brilliance. Journals everywhere beg for articles that nobody reads. Careers depend on “publish or perish,” so we get a flood of papers stuffed with jargon, literature reviews dressed up as discovery, and word counts padded like cheap mattresses. It’s not science; it’s paperwork with footnotes. LLMs simply pulled the curtain back . Let’s think about the scale of it. Trillions have been spent on global research systems. In return, we have shelves of unread papers and citations traded like currency, while actual breakthroughs are depressingly rare. We celebrate “in...

The Fight Club-A literary Redux

  PROLOGUE   Nietzsche in ‘ Thus Spoke Zarathustra’ asks "This life as you now live it and have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable times more; and there will be nothing new in it, but every pain and every joy and every thought and sigh and everything unutterably small or great in your life will have to return to you — all in the same succession and sequence." How would you respond, yes? Or No? In other words, if your life was cyclic and you had a chance to live the life you have lived once again. Would you be enthusiastically say yes, or would you rather choose another life ? Fight Club is one such Novel and subsequently a film that grapples with that existential dilemma using the modern man as its muse.   Some films are entertaining, some are visually and dramatically stunning and then some films punch you in the face. Leaving you philosophically bleeding and wondering what the hell happened to your own carefully constructed face...
