The Ugly Reality of Caste Violence and Discrimination in Urban India

Thewire.in
Dec 12, 2017       
A mention of violence against Dalits on account of their caste readily bring forth images from rural or small-town India; depending on our vintage these could be from late 1970s’ horrific Belchi and Pipra massacres, or of the more recent public flogging of Dalits in Una, Gujarat. We would rarely imagine metropolitan cities, supposedly melting pots, as being sites of caste-based crimes, as the urban arena is expected to dissolve and obliterate caste distinctions. Caste is prima facie anonymous in urban India; urban (upper-caste) Indians would forcefully insist that caste is either dead or dying, as forces of urbanisation, globalisation and modernisation are sweeping away antiquated social distinctions, and fostering a climate of meritocracy, which recognises and rewards individual merit or ability on a level playing field. …

Facebook lawyer says ‘there is no privacy,’ hinting at the challenges of Zuckerberg’s pivot

Some privacy advocates remain concerned that Zuckerberg’s “privacy-focused vision” leaves the company’s core business of data-targeted ads mostly unscathed.
A lawyer for Facebook argued on Wednesday that its users had no expectation of privacy when using the social network, pushing for a judge to throw out a class-action lawsuit related to the Cambridge Analytica scandal.
“There is no invasion of privacy at all, because there is no privacy,” on Facebook or any other social media site, company attorney Orin Snyder told U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria.

No insurance claim for theft committed without forcible entry, under the policy for burglary/house breaking

Aug 24, 2016 : Dtf.in 
NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court has ruled that a forcible entry is required for a claim to be  allowed  under  the  policy  for  burglary/house breaking.
Citing a 2004 SC judgment, Justice Rao said, “In the absence of violence or force, the insured cannot claim indemnification against the insurance company. The terms of the policy have to be construed as it is and we cannot add or subtract something. Howsoever liberally we may construe the policy, we cannot take liberalism to the extent of substituting the words which are not intended. “…in common parlance, the term ‘burglary’ would mean theft but it has to be preceded with force or violence. If the element of force or violence is not present, then the insured cannot claim compensation against theft from the insurance company.”
According  to  the counsel for the Appellant, forcible  and violent entry is not necessary for making a valid claim  under  the  policy.
The claim of the Appellant was repudiated by the insurance company on 31.03.1998 on the ground that the alleged loss did  not come within the purview of the insurance policy.
The PSU’s appeal has been dismissed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court.
