PROFESSOR SITAL KALANTRY Professor Sital Kalantry is the Clinical Professor of Law at the Cornell Law School. Professor Sital Kalantry writes in the elds of comparative feminist legal theory, international human rights, and empirical studies of courts. Her scholarship seeks to identify how legal norms aimed at promoting human rights sometimes undermine gender and racial equality when they migrate across national borders. Informed by a decade of human rights practice in international and domestic courts, she uses interdisciplinary methods to understand what mechanisms best promote state compliance with international human rights. She also studies why judicial institutions, particularly in India, fail to effectively provide justice using empirical methodologies. In her book, Women’s Human Rights and Migration, she examines how regulations on migrant women are inuenced by acontextual and limited knowledge about laws and practices in migrant-sending countries. She has argued for the need for a new transnational feminist approach drawing on comparative, empirical, and other methodologies. Her works have appeared in the Stanford Journal of International Law, Georgetown Journal of International Affairs, Cornell Journal of Public Policy, UCLA Journal of Law and Foreign Affairs, Human Rights Quarterly, the Nordic Journal of Human Rights, and a number of other peer-reviewed journals and university presses. Her opinion pieces have been published in the New York Times, Slate, the New York Daily News, and in other publications. She received a Fulbright-Nehru Research Scholar grant to conduct research on the Indian Supreme Court as well as several other awards and grants for her work.

  • Hiq V. Linkedin: a Clash Between Privacy and Competition
    THE EVOLUTION OF ANTITRUST IN THE DIGITAL ERA: Essays on Competition Policy Volume One Editors David S. Evans Allan Fels AO Catherine Tucker hiQ v. Linkedin: A Clash Between Privacy and Competition By Maureen K. Ohlhausen & Peter Huston 1 Abstract Advances in data storage, processing power, and system architecture allow today’s computers to solve tasks of extraordinary computational complexity, paving the way for in- novative, reliable, and lucrative predictive analytics. !e implications for both privacy law and antitrust law can be signi"cant. Although competition law and privacy law often coex- ist peacefully, tension between the two realms can arise, as they have in hiQ v. LinkedIn, a case pending in the Northern District of California. HiQ applies its proprietary algorithms to data scraped from LinkedIn’s servers (without LinkedIn’s authorization) to provide “people analytics” to its employer customers. One product warns employers if employees’ LinkedIn ac- tivity suggests they may be considering changing jobs. LinkedIn, invoking the privacy rights of its members, employed technical measures to block hiQ’s automated bots from accessing the data on LinkedIn’s servers. HiQ alleges that LinkedIn’s justi"cation for attempting to block hiQ is pretextual and that it is really seeking to insulate itself from potential competition. !e case demonstrates a legal policy dilemma. Protecting privacy by limiting the spread of data can reduce the bene"ts of competition by denying upstart rivals access to the data they need to compete and entrenching incumbents (who may already be dominant). Conversely, attempting to bolster competition by insuring that competitive rivals have easy access to personal data can diminish privacy by distributing data in ways that consumers may not anticipate or want.

  • Over 500 Academicians, Activists, Artists and Writers Including Eminent Professors Noam Chomsky, Gayatri Spivak, Barbara Hariss
    Over 500 academicians, activists, artists and writers including eminent Professors Noam Chomsky, Gayatri Spivak, Barbara Hariss-White, Michael Davis among others condemn the ongoing state violence and unlawful detention of faculty and student protesters of the University of Hyderabad. We, academicians, activists, artists and writers, condemn the ongoing brutal attacks on and unlawful detention of peacefully protesting faculty and students at the University of Hyderabad by the University administration and the police. We also condemn the restriction of access to basic necessities such as water and food on campus. The students and faculty members of the University of Hyderabad were protesting the reinstatement of Dr. Appa Rao Podile as the Vice-Chancellor despite the ongoing judicial enquiry against him related to the circumstances leading to the death of the dalit student Rohith Vemula ​on January 17​th,​ 2016. Students and faculty members of the university community are concerned that this may provide him the opportunity to tamper with evidence and to influence witnesses. Suicides by dalit students have been recurring in the University of Hyderabad and other campuses across the country. The issue spiraled into a nationwide students’ protest with the death of the dalit scholar Rohith Vemula. The protests have pushed into the foreground public discussion and debate on the persistence of caste-based discrimination in educational institutions, and surveillance and suppression of dissent and intellectual debate in university spaces. Since the morning of March 22 when Dr. Appa Rao returned to campus, the students and staff have been in a siege-like situation. The peacefully protesting staff and students were brutally lathi-charged by the police, and 27 people were taken into custody.

Delhi is a historical city whose remnants are spread right from Mehrauli to Shahjahanabad. Large number of monuments are scattered all over Delhi. The built heritage of Delhi is an irreplaceable and nonrenewable cultural resource. Besides being part of life for many, it has educational, recreational and major tourism potential. It enhances Delhi’s environment, giving it identity and character. It encompasses culture, lifestyles, design, materials, engineering and architecture. The Heritage Resources include symbols of successive civilizations and cities that came up over the millennia, historic buildings and complexes, historical gardens, water engineering structures and their catchments, the remains of fortified citadels, places for worship and for the deceased, historic cities and villages, unearthed heritage and their components.
