    It’s great how many progressive strides the Indian Supreme Court has taken of late.

It’s equally wonderful that at least the court system in India—perhaps I should say at least the apex court—is functioning honourably.

    This is a note: a brief thought or notable piece of information from my commonplace book. For longer writings, please turn to the ‘Essays’ section.
