Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita: Decolonising or Reinforcing Colonial Ideas?
This piece focuses on the BNS, meant to replace the IPC. It analyses how the bill falls short of its stated goal of decolonisation. Anushka Pandey, Preeti Pratishruti Dash, and Mrinal Satish argue that the BNS expands powers of the state and the police, retains offences grounded in archaic morality, and widens the punitive network through broad and vaguely defined offences.

I will refer to IPC only as IPC even after it gets replaced with new law named in Hindi, says Madras High Court judge Anand Venkatesh
The judge tells the lawyers present in his court hall that he does not know Hindi and therefore it would be difficult to pronounce the new names properly.
