A legal mind trained across Delhi, London, and New York — now setting down, page by page, its thinking on the law behind a changing world. These are my thoughts, my views, my voice.
I came to the law the long way, and from many rooms. A science degree in Delhi. Law at Jamia Millia Islamia, then at the London School of Economics. Years spent teaching and researching at Columbia Law School in New York. Time given, earlier, to the work of the United Nations Development Programme, and to the cause of women's rights in the service of a national commission. Different rooms, one thread — a steady belief that the law, understood plainly and applied in good faith, is among the most powerful tools we have for a fairer life.
Today I write and I work — on the law of artificial intelligence and security, on human rights, on the place of women in an age of intelligent machines, and on the international law that holds nations to account. Not as a commentator chasing the headline, but as someone who reads the instruments themselves and tries to say, clearly, what they mean.
These were never separate to me. Follow any one far enough, and it meets the others — the same discipline, the same care, the same law.
From time to time I welcome students and early researchers to help with legal research on these themes. If careful, sourced work on the law appeals to you, a short note to contact@ThoughtLeadInnovate.com is always read.
Each new piece reaches you the moment it's written. No algorithm, no noise, no cost.
