Law PhD proposal season will soon arrive. A few thoughts for aspiring applicants🧵
1. Don't follow the herd. Would another Indian law PhD on basic structure/religious freedom, or a South African one on social rights/transformative constitutionalism really add much to scholarship? 2. If proposing a comparative project, is the United States/United Kingdom/Germany really appropriate as a comparator or is it just a default choice? Have you considered a South-South comparison? An under-explored jurisdiction? Does the project need comparison at all?

Possible 2025 scenario:🧵
The newly reelected Modi govt refuses to extend the constitutional pause on decadal census-based constituency delimitation exercise expiring in 2026. Huge protests in Southern states, whose relative share in state power will nosedive. 1/5 The proposal will not reduce the extant seats of any state, only increase seats for the Hindi belt in proportion of their population--nearly doubling the size of Lok Sabha to about a 1,000 MPs (who, fortuitously, can now be accommodated in the larger new Parliament building). 2/5
