VIDEO | Senior advocate Indira Jaising, on student groups protesting UGC equity rules and demanding its rollback, says, "The petition was filed in 2019 because we found the 2012 regulations were inadequate. I am a bit surprised by the reaction. It appears to be a very 'upper caste' reaction... to the efforts of the SC, ST, and OBC communities to deal with issues of discrimination. So, it is certainly very disturbing. I am unable to say too much about it because the matter is still pending in court, but hopefully, the SC will deal with this issue in a rational manner. We also think that the regulations are a bit inadequate..." #UGCRegulations #UGCAct (Full video available on PTI Videos -show more

VIDEO | As the Supreme Court stays the UGC regulation pertaining to the definition of caste discrimination, advocate Satyam Pandey says, "As soon as this issue came to my notice, we filed a case before the Supreme Court... The Supreme Court said that although it is not an academic body, it would be appropriate to consult scholars and academic institutions to better understand the matter and make whatever appropriate changes are required in the regulations... At present, this is partial relief; it is not a final victory... A stay has been put in the matter. The next hearing will be held on March 19." (Full video available on PTI Videos – #UGCRegulations

Charles Kanjama: It is a groundbreaking ruling because it is breaking new ground. It is a ruling that, in my view, takes the country a bit backwards on issues of public participation. Personally, I am a bit disappointed on that issue, and I feel that on some of the other aspects that were dealt with by the court, there was a tendency to disregard part of the evidence that was there to challenge. I feel that this groundbreaking judgment of the court had a number of missteps that need to be addressed when the matter goes to the court of appeal #CitizenMondayReport

#WATCH | Delhi: On Supreme Court stays UGC Equity Regulations 2026, Congress Leader T S Singh Deo says, "... A section of society has been exploited the most for decades, and to protect them, laws have been enacted, such as the SC/ST Protection Act and the Women’s Safety Act, along with UGC guidelines which later underwent many changes and reforms from time to time. The UGC has introduced regulations to safeguard the rights of SC, ST, and OBC communities. A major flaw that I see is that in the 2012 rules there was a clause for action against false complainants, which has been removed in the new regulations..."

VIDEO | Here's activist Yogendra Yadav (Yogendra Yadav) said on Union Cabinet approving caste census. "Every 10 years, we have a census in our country, in which every single person living in India is recorded and their details are taken down. In that, for the last 70 years, we have always asked the religion of the head of the household. We have always asked language. We have always asked caste category, SC, ST or others. The only and in the case of SC and ST, we also in the census record the exact caste that they belong to. The only thing we do not do so far is to record the caste for those who are not SC or ST. So, when we say caste census is going to take place, it means that what has always been done in the case of SC or ST will now also be done in the case of OBC and in the case of those who are neither SC, ST or OBC. So for every single household, someone would come and say, what is your language? What is your religion? What is your caste? That is what caste census means. Why is it needed? It is needed because in our country, several policies have been framed based on caste disadvantage. There are policies based on gender. There are policy based on income. But there are also policies based on caste, caste grouping." (Full video available on PTI Videos -

Steph Curry says NBA players are underpaid "I think because the way the CBA is structured right now, we can't participate in equity. And that's a big deal because it’s a partnership with ownership, the league and we're on the short term of that revenue" "The idea that we can't participate in equity while we're playing is a part of why I would say yes, we are underpaid because you want to be able to participate in that rise" "I know we're blessed to be in a position where we're playing basketball for a living, and these are the type of checks that people are earning" "Hopefully sooner than later those rules change a little bit so that players can participate more in the upside of team equity. I think we deserve it"

#WATCH | Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala: On the Supreme Court staying UGC's Equity Regulations, Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi says, "I welcome this judgment because the UGC guidelines are highly discriminatory. To address discrimination, they were bringing more discrimination to campuses, and there are three points I have continued to raise, which even the Supreme Court has validated. The concerns that I was expressing with regard to the penalty clause. What do we do with regard to that, in terms of the ability for everybody who is on the campus, who faces some kind of discrimination? They should be able to go to the equity committee to address it. Unfortunately, that was not doing that. It was only giving a platform to SC, ST, and OBCs to be able to do that, while the general caste students were left out in the cold, and they did not have that particular pathway. Equity squads, through the implicit and explicit nature of discrimination, could take a call. Implicit could mean anything as far as the equity squad is concerned. Would it be through words, through actions, or through some perceptions or preconceived mindset about discrimination? Those were the things which I was speaking about. The Supreme Court has put a stay on it. I welcome it, and I hope the Government of India withdraws this particular guideline and ensures that any guideline that comes into place to address discrimination is not discriminatory in its nature."

#WATCH | On Supreme Court staying UGC Regulations 2026, Advocate and petitioner Vineet Jindal says, "Today, the CJI appreciated our arguments. We must say that it is a very big win for us. As we have been talking about specifically three issues, one is Section 3C which is talking about caste discrimination and in that particular section, the general caste has been excluded and all other castes have been included. So, this particular section has been sending a message that SC, ST and OBC has been discriminated against by the general caste. This was our argument before the CJI and he appreciated our argument and especially stated that what we are saying is correct and if such sections are there, it will definitely be very harsh and discriminatory for the general caste and this should be amended. The other part is in respect of the equity committee which is formed under Section 18 of these new UGC sections. There are no specific representations cited in these particular rules for the general community. CJI also admitted this argument of ours and suggested that it should be formation of a specific committee which includes academicians, social workers who have knowledge on these particular subject and now this matter is posted for 19th March and hopefully something good will happen."

Elon Musk: Radical deregulation is necessary in Europe. If that means leaving the EU, it means leaving the EU. “Europe is overregulated. There are too many rules and regulations that make it very difficult to create a company and do too much to protect large companies at the expense of small to medium-sized companies. So, the net result is you have a bunch of very small companies in Europe and then it's small number of very large companies, but then not much in the middle. So, there needs to be a way to go from being a small company if you're making great products and services to be able to scale to ultimately become a big company. But you have effectively regulatory capture by the large corporations in Europe. They don't really want to reduce the regulatory burden and they like the fact that the regulations effectively protect their duopolies or monopolies in some cases. So really, I think it's up to the government to say no, we have to foster small companies and allow them to compete and reduce regulations because the regulatory situation in Europe is stifling and Brussels is amplifying that greatly. So you have both the local regulations, the country regulations and then you have the EU regulations. There's so many regulations in Europe, it makes it extremely difficult to start a company and be successful. So, I think radical deregulation is necessary in Europe. And if that means leaving the EU, it means leaving the EU.” From: Interview with Matteo Salvini, April 5, 2025

I think the left is blowing this Signal issue out of proportion. Was it perfect? No. Is it as big of a deal as the left is making it out to be? No. I think there is a higher chance the left is just desperate to get a “win”, so they are going all in on this because they see a bit of daylight.

#WATCH | Delhi: On the Supreme Court ruling on the SC, ST Act, Senior Advocate D.V.S.S. Somayajulu says, "... Today the Supreme Court passed a very significant order. We do not yet have the full copy of the judgment, but I can share what we submitted to the Court. Our essential argument was that a person who has converted from an SC/ST background into Christianity cannot claim the benefits or protections of the Act... The Court was categorical: once someone converts to Christianity, caste benefits cannot apply, because Christianity does not recognise caste. The decision is also rooted in the 1950 Presidential Order, which has long been part of the statute book. The judgment clearly defines who is entitled to claim benefits under the Act and who is not. Of course, a review petition remains an option, but as of today, the matter stands settled. In this particular case, the individual was a pastor who had converted, and our submission was that he could not take advantage of SC/ST protections..."

One of the most astonishing attempts at projecting grandiose delusions I’ve ever seen—“so [Obama] tried to bribe them to make a deal… 1.7 billion in cash was put on a Boeing…” Trump bribed Iran with $324 billion. And got nothing for it. “And the main thing is that Iran will not have a nuclear weapon. They fully agreed to that with strong policing powers, and they won't have nuclear weapons, which is what I was all about, because they probably would have used it if they had it. So we had two big moments when they terminated the JCPOA, that was the Obama deal, the Barrack Hussein Obama deal, and when I terminated that, it was very important because it was a road to a nuclear weapon. It was a horrible deal for the United States. It was a deal where billions of dollars was given to Iran. It was a deal where 1.7 billion in cash was put on a Boeing 7, well, not a 7, 7, 57, I guess, right? But it was put on a big, beautiful Boeing 757. They needed a Boeing 747 to be honest with you, because it was a lot of cash. 1.7 billion was taken out of the banks and given to Iran, and on top of that, tens of billions of dollars was made. So they tried to bribe them to make a deal that didn't work. It never works. And that we lived on a great job, and hopefully it's going to be a good relationship, and we're going to get along. And if we don't, we go back to where we started, but I don't know if it's going to be necessary. The Iran deal that we made is going to bring a lot of success to the world, because the oil was really plugged up there for a while. They would call me on occasion, "See, come on, please. Let's go." The oil prices. But the oil is coming way down.”

From the recent The Free Press God debate between me and Ross Douthat (Ross Douthat): Question from attendee: Doesn't the history of 20th century Marxism show us where rational materialism leads? And shouldn't you, as a student of history, have seen where this worship of rationality would lead? Me: Well, you're assuming that Marxism was rational. Attendee: It was the worship of rationality, putting human presuppositions about right and wrong before the teachings of God. Me: If we judge an ideology by its effects, there are reasons to think that the precepts of Marxism were the opposite of rational. Namely, they led to disasters, but people held them anyway, so it was the opposite of the ideal of falsifiability. And they led to both economic and humanitarian disasters, so on rational grounds, we can see that Marxism was mistaken. So the failure of Marxism does not cast doubt on the value of rationality. It is precisely because we can evaluate it on rational grounds that we can identify what was wrong with it. Likewise, the horrors of the 20th century due to Nazism were not because Nazism was rational, quite the opposite. It had a number of obviously mistaken and monstrous beliefs, and it is by the lights of rationality combined with concern with human well-being that we can judge it as having been a disaster. I don't think that our problem now is that we have too much empathy. I think that the allegation that we're suffering from toxic empathy is mistaken. That too much empathy is the least of our problems. If I were to single out some of the things in Christian tradition that I think are worth keeping, then empathy, compassion, forgiveness, forswearing revenge, all of those are good things because they can also be defended on rational grounds.

And shouldn't you, as a student of history, have seen where this worship of rationality would lead? Me: Well, you're assuming that Marxism was rational. Attendee: It was the worship of rationality, putting human presuppositions about right and wrong before the teachings of God. Me: If we judge an ideology by its effects, there are reasons to think that the precepts of Marxism were the opposite of rational. Namely, they led to disasters, but people held them anyway, so it was the opposite of the ideal of falsifiability. And they led to both economic and humanitarian disasters, so on rational grounds, we can see that Marxism was mistaken. So the failure of Marxism does not cast doubt on the value of rationality. It is precisely because we can evaluate it on rational grounds that we can identify what was wrong with it. Likewise, the horrors of the 20th century due to Nazism were not because Nazism was rational, quite the opposite. It had a number of obviously mistaken and monstrous beliefs, and it is by the lights of rationality combined with concern with human well-being that we can judge it as having been a disaster. I don't think that our problem now is that we have too much empathy. I think that the allegation that we're suffering from toxic empathy is mistaken. That too much empathy is the least of our problems. If I were to single out some of the things in Christian tradition that I think are worth keeping, then empathy, compassion, forgiveness, forswearing revenge, all of those are good things because they can also be defended on rational grounds.
