The dangers of leakages & miscarriages in the process of translating intention to action have the potential, of as Arun said 'damaging.......country's reputation & credibility in the world. The Aid Agency of India should be well defined-is it a vehicle of foreign policy, of security policy, of trade policy, or is it a case of a response to peer pressure from the BRIC club? Without putting in place a full, articulated and well debated 'Aid & International Development Policy' that is informed by international experience, and guided by India's enlightened overseas interests, this effort is fraught with severe consequences.

Would be great if the other lectures of his are uploaded so that those among us who have religiously relied on his books for learning get the benefit of listening to him. A blog post containing a bibliography of his writings and writings about him would go a long way in recognising his contributions. NALSAR could also organise a conference to discuss his writings and his impact on Indian Law. Also, it would be great if somebody writes a biography of the great man. Thanks for the audio clip.

On the other hand, I appologize, but I do not give credence to your entire suggestion, all be it radical none the less. It appears to us that your opinions are actually not entirely justified and in simple fact you are generally your self not really thoroughly certain of the assertion. In any event I did enjoy reading it. Along with everything which seems to be developing within this specific subject matter, all your points of view are generally fairly radical.

NLSIR is holding its first Public Law Symposium on "Adjudication of Socio-Economic Rights by the Indian Supreme Court" on 10th December. We wanted to know if it would be possible to publicise the event on Practical Academic and if the following text could be posted on the blog: The National Law School of India Review, the flagship journal of National Law School of India University, Bangalore is pleased to present the first NLSIR Public Law Symposium to be held on 10 December, 2011 at the National Law School campus. The theme of the symposium is "Adjudication of Socio-Economic Rights by the Indian Supreme Court", an issue which has seen significant legal developments in the recent past. The symposium will be attended by renowned legal luminaries including Justice Muralidhar, Mr. T. R. Andhyarujina, Mr. Shyam Diwan and Mr. Arun Kumar Thiruvengadam, amongst others. The discussion will be divided into two sessions. In the first session (scheduled between 10.30 A.M.-12.30 P.M.) the panel will discuss the substantive adjudication of socio-economic rights undertaken by the Supreme Court concerning questions of the ever-widening ambit of Article 21 and the content of the new rights so evolved. The changing nature of the relationship between Part III and Part IV of the Constitution due to such expansion will form an important part of the session. The second session (scheduled between 1.30 P.M.-3.30 P.M.) will focus on the manner in which the Supreme Court has enforced these rights and consider the variety of procedural innovations employed for the same, including PILs and continuing mandamus. The registration fee for the symposium is Rs. 500 for professionals. There is no registration fee for students. All those interested are requested to register their attendance at the following link: . For any further details regarding the symposium, please contact Krishnaprasad K.V.
