ABOUT THE OXFORD UNION SOCIETY: The Oxford Union is the world's most prestigious debating society, with an unparalleled reputation for bringing international guests and speakers to Oxford. Since 1823, the Union has been promoting debate and discussion not just in Oxford University, but across the globe.

The Oxford Union is deeply grateful and encouraged by the messages of support in response to our determination to uphold free speech. During our 200 year history, many have tried to shut us down. As the effects of self-imposed censorship on university campuses, social media and the arts show no signs of dissipating, the importance of upholding free speech remains as critical today as it did when we were founded in 1823. Your support is critical in enabling The Oxford Union to continue its mission without interruption and without interference. You can support the Oxford Union here: oxford-union.org/supportus

    We the people of India love CJI DY Chandrachud sir from our heart. He is such a man of spine in our judiciary with great intellectuallity. He is the first person who played a key role in joining a bridge between the people and the courts.
  • One of the most extra polite, extra gentle, kind hearted, highly knowledgeable, highly intellectual personality is our CJI DY Chandrachud Sir. We are proud of you sir.
  • CJI DYC, one of the very few men with spine amongst invertebrate creed of broken judiciary and curropted bureaucracy.
  • We are lucky to listen to respected CJI on YouTube... This generation has this golden opportunity to hear and learn from such great personalities...🫡

    I am not a student of law. But I feel inspired by genius like you. I'm having faith that humanity is going in a right direction in granting ourselves with basic rights of freedom, justice, equality . And come out of the clutches of discriminating our fellow human beings.That's the sign of an advanced global society

    How was immediate bail granted to Arnab Goswamy of Republic TV Channel, overlooking 7 bail petitions pending previously, including the bail petition of Stan Swamy? Is there any reason to give priority to Goswamy other than him being an influential person of this government? The SC refused bail in Stan Swamy's appeal. Stan Swamy was weak with age, had shivering hands and fingers due to Parkinson's disease. He was not able to drink any liquid substance directly, unlike others, and could only drink using a straw. He was denied bail. After more than 2 years as an undertrial prisoner, Stan Swamy's life ended in prison. These are stark facts that show our judiciary does not function impartially.
  • जसा बाप तसा बेटा. मराठी माणूस देशाचा सरन्यायाधीश झालाय हे बघून आत्मविश्वास वाढतो. चंद्रचूड साहेब महाराष्ट्रातील तरुणाईला तुमच्या मार्गदर्शनाची गरज आहे. अगदी छान काम करताय 👍
