Came across this very creatively written 'case comment' by @dsheikh726 and @PaliSamuel as a conversation on what the afterlife of law and queer activism could look like post-Supriyo. Was pleasantly surprised to see a short article that I had written for the Wire cited in it.
In their case comment on Supriyo - the marriage equality case - Danish Sheikh (@dsheikh726) and Rupali Samuel (@PaliSamuel) present a staged conversation to reflect on the intricate entanglements of intimacy and state recognition. Read ahead-of-print at:

Beautifully crafted and a striking critique of Justice Chandrachudās judgements on gender equality during his tenure as the CJI.
In this essay I argue that Chandrachud might have set high hopes in his pre-CJI tenure that India's archaic equality code doctrine would be updated but we saw this weapon either being ignored or blunted during his term and this was completely predictable.

Read this article written by a dear friend. āThree interviewees highlight how mental health practitioners lack understanding of how both caste and queerness individually impact lives and are often entirely unaware of the complex intersectionalities.ā.

Timely insights by @oracleisalive.
The new criminal laws lose more opportunities than the ones they take to reform criminal justice for queer people, writes Farhan Zia.

It was entertaining to see the members of the ruling party and the speaker in the Lok Sabha talk about the rules of parliamentary procedure during the speech of LoP after years of circumventing important parliamentary procedures and conventions even while passing important bills!.

Interestingly, the court relied on the Sensitisation Module for the Judiciary on LGBTQ+ rights released by e-committee to make this point.
