    Can devotion be subject to discrimination?

    That too because of menstruation. No matter how much we have progressed as a nation, periods are still considered as a notion of impurity. 


    This is high time that we realise and accept that menstruation is normal biological process which should at no cost be considered as impure.

    In which we are going to discuss the story of Menstruation, discrimination and the right to worship. The controversial case of the Sabarimala temple is still the topic of debate. Let’s get started with its history and the timeline of the case.

  • My sexual orientation is different and that doesn't make me a criminal
    Aug 21 2021
    Namaste! Quoting Abhijit Naskar- “ In the unification of two minds, orientation of sexuality is irrelevant”.  It is true that Love sees no boundaries, and it has no gender! Can you imagine living in fear because of your love? Can you accept if somebody told you that your love is not, right? Can you imagine somebody telling you that your love is a sin? Isn’t it hurtful?  Same-sex relationships are still considered taboo in our society and because of this, people are hiding themselves and are not living the life that they deserve. But thankfully few people like Navtej Johar and Sunil Mehra stood and became the voice of their community! Want to know the story of the love birds that decriminalised centuries-old law of section 377?  Listen to our 6th episode of Unplugged With LawSikho Season 3 - "My sexual orientation is different and that doesn't make me a criminal"  and indulge yourself in this tale of love and law.
