I have been a lawyer for 20 yrs and a judge for another 20. I hv known many good judges & many bad judges. But I have never known any judge in the Indian judiciary as shameless & disgraceful as this sexual pervert Ranjan Gogoi. There was hardly any vice which was not in this man

Is Sushant Singh Rajput’s death really relevant ? 20 million Indians have lost their jobs since March, but no one talks of that. Talk of Sushant’s death betrays lack of a sense of proportion and priorities

In my opinion the Bharat Jodo Yatra is only a stunt, and will have no effect. Our people are largely polarised on communal&caste lines, and when they go to vote they only see caste&religion, while issues like unemployment, price rise, healthcare etc are irrelevant.
