Mumbai college's ban on Hijab. In this substack post, I argue that "any attempts to ban or regulate hijab could be counterproductive, by pushing muslim women out of educational and public spaces". Theorists and others may enjoy reading it. @AbhiroopMukho

Locked out of home ownership, young adults are turning to risky financial behaviour

With 15% relaxation, we have (85% of 80) = 68, which is a threshold to be considered as full marks. A score of 76 exceeds the given threshold, so he/she should be considered as achieved a full sore. That is the whole point of relaxation, i.e., not required to answer all correct
A class 10th student asked me : Our maths paper was out of 80 marks. JKBOSE announced 15% relaxation, so we just needed 68 marks for full 80. I attempted the entire paper (all 80 marks) but got 3 questions wrong, losing 4 marks. So technically, I scored 76, which is above 68 ….

The whole thread is worth reading, a brief chronology of great work.
