My first weekly notes - The Constitutional Observer, RTIs, Veganism, Chennai Book Fair and others.

Attemping a crowd sourced list of readings.

I present a public beta of the Constitutional Observer that was in the works for a few months now. It brings together a corpus of the Constituent Assembly debates and questions from the LS. It is envisioned as a comparative interface to understand the historical context of a constitutional argument. You can ask it seemingly simple questions, and it will semantically understand and return relevant responses from both datasets. The conceptual framing of these questions is meant to poke curiosity at a primal level, outside of explicit notions of political questioning.These were first exhibited at SMI Collective 2024, a show case of Srishti Manipal final semester projects at MAHE, Bengaluru

I write in brief about the making of the questions that were exhibited along with the Constitutional Observer, and a little of the vision for it.

This paper will establish Bengaluru as a plural city with many lingua-cultural identities that have a distinct geographic spread. It will then delve into an attempted analysis of the linguistic demographics of the electoral roll of Bengaluru, thus building a pathway to measure representation electorally. It also attempts to understand language linked trends in Education.

We present Research Narratives that came out of a vision to have an environment that encourages responsible use of data for research and communication. It is a tool that provides a collaborative environment for multidisciplinary research or writing projects that communicate patterns from data.
