Ai And The Issue Of Human-Centricity In Copyright Law, Arul George Scaria

This article urges Indian policymakers and courts to be cautious in extending existing IP protections to work generated by Artificial Intelligence.

Popular Media

Excerpt:

"For about the last 15 years, the queer rights movement has enriched the constitutional law of this country. Some of the most cherished constitutional values and rights have been fleshed out with the movement as its springboards at the Supreme Court....

Does Today's India Need 'Decolonisation' Speak?, Salmoli Choudhuri, Moiz Tundawala

Popular Media

This article analyses the introduction of three new Bills to replace the Indian Penal Code, 1860, the Indian Evidence Act, 1872 and the updated Criminal Procedure Code of 1973—the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Bharatiya Sakshya Bill and Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, respectively—in light of Indian and global discourse on decoloniality.

Excerpt:

"The proposed exercise of indigenising laws – insincere at best and dangerous at worst – would only bring about a surface-level change of the imaginary through a spectacular show of rejecting the colonial inheritance while harbouring no aspirations for freedom at the structural and systemic level of the symbolic order …
