SIR, This has reference to the article, "How dare We?" by Angshuman Kar, published today.

COP30, set to take place in Belém, Brazil, in 2025, was envisioned as a powerful symbol of global commitment to the Amazon rainforest and the broader fight against climate change.
The Amazon, often referred to as the "lungs of the Earth," plays a crucial role in absorbing carbon dioxide, regulating global temperatures, and sustaining biodiversity.
By hosting the conference in the heart of the rainforest, the world was expected to focus on pressing issues such as deforestation, conservation, and the rights of Indigenous communities. The summit aimed to push for stronger climate action, increased financial commitments to developing nations, and policies that integrate economic growth with environmental sustainability.

Reforming the judiciary
India can keep the core insight behind the collegium ~ insulating courts from executive capture ~ while finally confronting the other half of the problem: opacity, delay, and unaccountable gatekeeping.
