The judgment of Justice Bradley of the US Supreme Court in Bradwell vs Illinois (1872) exemplifies the myth of patriarchal societies that women are the weaker vessel: “Civil law, as well as nature herself, has always recognised the wide difference in the respective spheres and destinies of man and women. Man is, or should be, women’s protector and defender. The natural and proper timidity and delicacy which belongs to the female sex evidently unfits it for many of the occupations of civil life.” The US Supreme Court rectified its stand in Reed vs Reed (1971).

India must realise that a democracy cannot be reduced to only demanding praise from the rest of the world

The official response of the Ministry of External Affairs was disproportionate to the provocation, but it was not merely the reaction of a thin-skinned government. The argument put forth by the government pushed a more fundamental premise: it warned the concerned global voices that these ....

The Swatantra Party was a rainbow-like phenomenon in Indian politics: bright and beautiful; yet short lived. It represented different socio-economic classes, and interests across both business and agriculture. It had an elitist complexion, yet had large numbers of peasantry in its ranks.
The party played a conspicuous role in Indian politics from 1959 to 1974. It posed an ideological alternative to the dominant Congress party’s statism under the guise of a ‘socialistic pattern of society’. The Swatantra Party floated the idea of Gandhian liberalism, against the Congress’s Nehruvian socialism. Its leaders stood for occupational politics ....
