A robust beginning has also been made in the direction of discussing royalties and residuals for screenwriters and lyricists.
The recent stupendous success of the Writers Guild of America (WGA) in securing several benefits for its screenwriters has been hugely inspiring.

Comment by JD: Really appreciate the struggles of your work on copyright and contracts. The digital space , entertainment, knowledge, service and production is going through re-definition where political economy is being marginalised unless people like you dig in.

This week, while upholding the abrogation of Article 370, the apex court had cited the solicitor-general’s assurance and refrained from giving a specific ruling on the constitutionality of the withdrawal of Jammu and Kashmir’s statehood.

“The solicitor-general does not have any authority to bind any successor government…. Second, and more importantly, he has no authority whatsoever to bind the legislature. And this is going to be a legislative act,” Nariman said.

“So, to say ‘We won’t decide’ means, in effect, you have decided. You have allowed this unconstitutional act to go forward for an indefinite period of time and you have skirted Article 356(5). These are all very disturbing things.”

In contrast, Yerawada and Byculla have better physical conditions. But when you actually stay in prison, it begins seeping in a very real sense … that unfreedom and what that means. “What I knew in the abstract, I was now living. Feeling it, watching it and what it does to people and how they cope with it. It was a revelation. And it was the sorting out of those thoughts that led to this book.

Prison reforms speak of equality before the law. There are declarations that all prisoners must be entitled to basic human rights, human dignity and human sympathy. But, as Bharadwaj’s book reveals with non-judgmental empathy and a keen perspective of human rights, jails are designed to strip one of all that.

Garg's book revels Reason Behind Urjit Patel's Resign https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqxsMXFqNSs RBI in 2018 changed the rules regarding loan write-off i.e. NPA.
