Here is my appraisal of Justice Chandrachud's Disability Jurisprudence. I thought of writing this counterintuitive piece for SCO to problematize the overwhelming consensus on his disability jurisprudence being 'progressive.' .

The former Chief Justice approached issues with compassion but his decisions are premised on disability operating in silos and margins

This is important. Kudos to @SauravDassss. A vigilant legal journalism is a need of the hour. Liberties can not be denied on the whims and fancies of individual judges.
#BREAKING: Supreme Court judge, Justice M.M. Sundresh, recuses himself from hearing Surendra Gadling’s bail plea. He stated that the matter will now be placed before another Bench. In my recent column, I had revealed how Justice Sundresh’s conduct in Gadling’s case raised.

This is so profoundly sad to watch. Our stadiums or, for that matter, any public infrastructure has no accessibility. Mia Mingus says 'access is love'. Then, denial of access is being unloved. It becomes individual responsibility of a disabled/caregiver to have any fun in life.

In cases of Prof. GN Saibaba and Stan Swamy adjournment became a method to punishment by process. Those adjournment were done by subordinate courts, and we know what happened to them. Here is the Supreme Court doing the same with Gadgil.
#StoryAlert 🚨. Surendra Gadling’s bail application has become a Kafkaesque file in the Supreme Court. It appears on the cause list, only to vanish. It is mentioned, only to be deferred. It is scheduled, only to be adjourned. The judge presiding over it, Justice M.M. Sundresh,

This.
A suggestion on tainted ministers: As SC developed “absolute liability” in torts, we need “absolute responsibility” in constitutional law. Ministers under whose watch terror, communal violence or rail disasters occur must go—failure to protect lives is worse than graft charges.

Such an ableist poem in which the entire monopoly over wisdom has been given to sighted people while wars, brutality, etc, are done by them mostly.

This.
Just to remind people of what is at stake here - India without legit elections is not China or Singapore - it is a hugely diverse patchwork of ethnicities, religions and castes left with no legitimate way in which to negotiate power with each other or the union

In Om Rathod, the Supreme Court employed @talilalewis' understanding of ableism and highlighted eugenics, colonialism etc are sites of ableism. But the Court's own record on protecting debilitated Dalit and religious minorities is dismal. Do read our arguments:.@KK_Kannabiran.

Lives at margins are shaped by several "unfreedoms". @KK_Kannabiran and I have attempted to understand in what ways constitutional lives of disabled are shaped by unfreedoms and situated us at constitutional 'borderland' much like the protagonist of Toba Tek Singh.

Sociologist @KK_Kannabiran ma'am and I write that Divyang and Harijan are based on Hindu epistemic privilege. However, there is a crucial difference between the two: they come from radically different imaginations of 'fraternity'.

We are having this discussion today. In case, you wanna join it, then pls DM for the meet link.
'Gandhiji, I have no Homeland' was a powerful counter of Babasaheb Ambedkar to Mahatma Gandhi. This was Ambedkar’s reply to Gandhi in their conversation at Manibhuvan on 14th August 1931. The reply was a profound reminder of the exclusion and oppression faced by Dalits.

It was a powerful statement highlighting the exclusion of Dalit imagination of Swaraj in our 'mainstream' national movement. This Independence Day, let's discuss Dr. Ambedkar’s vision of Swaraj. V Geetha, feminist historian and a noted scholar on Dr. Ambedkar, is our speaker.
