“Rathuwewi Mihimadala” Book Launched with the Participation of the Prime Minister

Menaka Guruswamy, a member of the Rajya Sabha and Supreme Court lawyer, recently delivered a lecture on the Indian Constitution and its protection, shedding light on the issues of job market instability and paper leaks. She highlighted that these issues contradict the promise made by India's first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, in his August 14, 1947 speech.

Nehru's promise was that Indian families would follow a simple formula for mobility: study hard, get educated, get a degree, secure a job, and ultimately build a better life. However, the weak job market and rampant paper leaks have eroded trust in this system, leading to widespread protests across various regions.

For lower and middle-class Indians, the NEET exam is not merely an examination; it represents a pathway to a stable and improved life. It demands substantial resources - coaching fees, time off work, and considerable family investments. Guruswamy emphasized that these aspirations have been thwarted, affecting countless families.

She further delved into the Delimitation Amendment Bill, 2026, which grants the government significant authority to redefine parliamentary constituencies based on census data. This move, she argued, could be exploited to concentrate political power in select regions, potentially disenfranchising the rest of the country.
