Law and Order: clear takes on cases, crime and media

If you care about justice, elections, and how news shapes public life, this tag pulls together the sharpest pieces on those topics. You won’t get legal lectures here — just practical explanations, real examples from Indian public life, and quick takeaways you can use when a story hits the headlines.

What this tag covers

We focus on three things: court rulings and election rules, crime and public-safety issues, and the media’s role in covering both. That means stories about the Supreme Court and VVPAT/EVM debates, hit-and-run accountability, and how media choices influence what people know. Each post breaks down one issue so you can understand why it matters and what might happen next.
