All Things Policy

Who Killed the Fundamental Right to Property in India? The greatest casualty in the battle between the Parliament and the Supreme Court of India for supremacy over the Constitution was the fundamental right to property. In this episode, Anupam Manur and Shrikrishna Upadhayaya retell the story of right to property beginning from the Indian Independence and ending with the Emergency. They touch upon land reforms, nationalisation of industries, the evolution of basic structure doctrine and eventual degradation of right to property in India. They argue that the right to property is fundamental to enjoying other liberties guaranteed by the Constitution.

Grief, one of the many quintessential human experiences, has steadily begun to make its foray into the tech industry. Previously thought to have only existed within the confines of science fiction, communication with a deceased friend or family member is now a technological reality with the advent of grief bots. As defined by researchers at the University of Cambridge, grief bots are “AI chatbots that simulate the language patterns and personality traits of the dead using the digital footprints they leave behind”. But does this newfangled technology actually provide comfort to those in mourning? And what about the privacy of the deceased?
