How to Write Essays For Writing Competitions: I Don’t Know; Just sharing my thoughts

Writing an analytical legal essay is a formidable task. Even a thought about it evokes a flurry of questions- What should be the topic of the essay? What competition/journal/blog should  I write it for? Where to start? What should be the structure of the essay? Attempting to answer the perennial stream of such questions, I bring to you a guest post from a dear friend and a prolific writer, Lokesh Vyas. Sharing his last name with the author of the great Indian epic- Mahabharat, Lokesh is a regular contributor to IP blogs like SpicyIP and IPRMENTLAW. He has also won multiple prestigious essay competition including the inaugural edition of the Prof. Shamnad Basheer Essay Competition, and the ATRIP Essay Competition, 2023.

The conundrum of free speech

‘ You've got a nerve, coming into this muhalla! I know you: my father knows you: everyone knows you're a Hindu!! ' screams the Midget Queen.  Boys in their school whites and snake buckle are joining in, 'Hindu! Hindu! Hindu!

Why you must read 'Sophie's World'

Most probably, the revelation of the full title of the book will be sufficient for some to grab a copy of it straightaway. Jostein Gaarder’s Sophie’s World: A Novel About the History of Philosophy is a Norwegian classic published in 1991. For those who do not find the idea of narrating the ‘history of philosophy’ in a ‘fiction novel’ compelling in itself and are still reading this blog; the book has a lot more to offer. Sophie’s World , as the name suggests, revolves around the events that take place in the life of 14 years old Sophie Amundsen as her 15 th birthday approaches. The book opens with the perplexed thoughts of Sophie when her friend suggests that the human mind is like an advanced computer; she wonders ‘surely a person is more than a piece of hardware?’ And then Gaarder knits a whole new world around her; I mean, he literally weaves a ‘new world’. In Sophie’s World, two threads run simultaneously. First, there is the story of Sophie & the mysterious Alberto Knox, fr...
