Rivers are more than Water: They are the Arteries of the Earth | Countercurrents (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A river is not just a channel through which water flows. It is an ecological system, a source of food and livelihood, a regulator of landscapes, and in many regions, the foundation upon which human civilization has developed. However, modern development has increasingly treated rivers as infrastructure: used to dam, divert, channel, extract water, and, in many cases, as a dumping ground for waste. That approach has consequences. The question is no longer how much water a river can deliver. Rathe
Immanuel Sekaran’s Memory seeks Historical Justice: Was Traditional Identity Misclassified? | Countercurrents (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Every September, the memory of Immanuel Sekaran returns to Tamil Nadu with unusual force. His assassination at Paramakudi on September 11, 1957, was an act of violence intended to extinguish a young voice.

Joseph Vijay has now revived this larger constitutional debate. On September 3, 2026, he moved a resolution in the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly seeking recognition of Tamil as the principal language of proceedings in the Madras High Court, including the filing of petitions and documents, oral submissions and the deliver
Women’s Representation in State Bar Councils: The 10% Co-option Question | Countercurrents (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This is taking place around the time of India’s Independence Day. Advocate Swati Sinha of the Jharkhand High Court raises a serious question: Can a mechanism intended to advance women’s democratic representation be fashioned without adequately considering the women candidates whose electoral performance is directly affected by it? The issue is not merely administrative. It concerns the relationship between representation, electoral mandate, natural justice and the constitutional limits of judici
