Image
An essay on " When You abuse a Woman, You stop being a Man " by Prachi Panwar is an in-depth analysis of the increasing rate of cybercrime and the legislative enactments that deal with cyber offences.  In a country like India, where society looks down upon women, the law does not even recognize the cybercrimes women face.

A Uniform Civil Code to Unite a Diverse Nation

Image
An essay on "A Uniform Civil Code to Unite a Diverse Nation" by Vedha Srinivasan provides recommendations for enforcing the Union Civil Code. In India, there are uniform criminal laws for all citizens. Crime is looked at with unwavering objectivity that cuts through all religions, castes, genders, and socio-economic backgrounds.

This essay explores the various aspects of the Uniform Civil Code, the genesis, socio-political undercurrents that hinder the enforcement of the Uniform Civil Code, and significant cases that spell out the fractured view of justice that results in the continued refu...
