The judiciary has, for some years now, relied less on creating its legitimacy on careful legal reasoning than it has on trying to appeal to a variety of public sentiments and political currents.
The evidence on prison conditions have been cited to argue that the unsatisfactory and unhygienic nature of Indian prisons would be a breach of Mallya’s human rights were he to be sent back to India.

Ms. Ananya Bharadwaj has learnt her journalism well. From the master, Mr. Shekhar Gupta.
My observations from this cleverly worded and speciously argued article:
1. She clearly mentions that in the Chittisinghpora massacre 35 Sikh men were shot dead. But not even once does she mention that in Pahalgam, every single victim was a Hindu (the only exception being the ponywallah, a Kashmiri local who heroically resisted the terrorists).
There is a very obvious attempt to brush under the carpet the fact that the terrorists first confirmed the religion and, if Hindu, shot dead the victims. The fact that this is a clear cut case of massacre on religious lines, a hate crime, is not mentioned even once in the article.
2. The article does not even mention the role of the elected representatives of the Kashmir valley. A section of these people have been openly threatening the tourists. There are videos on the public domain which clearly show them portraying tourists as “a threat to Kashmiri culture”. Are they not responsible too?
It’s totally ok to be anti-BJP or anti-Modi.
