Ikigai Law and NLSIU to Host Policy Dialogue on Online Speech Regulation

Bengaluru, November 5, 2025:
Ikigai Law, in collaboration with the National Law School of India University (NLSIU), Bengaluru, will host a policy dialogue titled “Truth, Trust & Technology: A Policy Dialogue on Online Speech Regulation” on November 7, 2025, in Central Bengaluru. Shri Priyank Kharge, Karnataka’s Cabinet Minister for IT/BT and RDPR, will grace the occasion as Chief Guest and deliver the keynote address.

The discussion gains significance as India confronts rising concerns over misinformation, disinformation, and hate speech on digital platforms. A recent World Economic Forum survey ranked India among the nations most vulnerable to false information, a challenge that resurfaced during the recent India–Pakistan conflict when social media was flooded with misleading content. 

The dialogue will bring together policymakers, legal experts, journalists, and academics to explore balanced and constitutionally sound approaches to regulating online speech. Two panel discussions will focus on the constitutional boundaries of state-level regulation and the practical challenges of combating misinformation.

Nehaa Chaudhari, Partner at Ikigai Law, said the event aims to encourage “constitutionally anchored, forward-looking policies” that safeguard citizens while preserving free expression. The session will run from 4:30 PM to 7:00 PM on November 7.

Cruelty to Animals a Symptom of Deep Moral Decay, Says Activist Jeny Leon Lopez

Bengaluru, November 4:
National animal rights activist Jeny Leon Lopez, founder of the Jeny Leon Lopez Foundation and EarthSouls, has urged lawmakers and the judiciary to act swiftly and decisively to strengthen enforcement against animal cruelty across the country.

Her appeal follows a deeply disturbing incident that went viral on Monday morning, showing a maid allegedly beating and killing her employer’s pet dog during a routine walk. The video has triggered widespread outrage and renewed calls for tougher action against such crimes.

Expressing anguish over the rising number of brutality cases, Jeny said that police indifference and weak legal follow-up have allowed offenders to go unpunished. “In Bengaluru alone, several FIRs have been filed, yet not a single arrest has been made. Justice for these voiceless beings remains out of reach,” she stated.

Drawing attention to a larger pattern, Jeny noted that cruelty towards animals often reflects deeper violent tendencies that can extend to humans — a connection documented by the FBI’s behavioral crime analysis.

Her foundation is currently pursuing three high-profile cases — the Justice for Bongo case in JP Nagar, the Budigere Cross dog stoning, and the Marathahalli puppy abandonment case — all of which remain pending despite FIRs being registered.

“When compassion becomes a crime and cruelty becomes acceptable, we lose the essence of our humanity,” Jeny warned, calling for urgent policy reform and stronger accountability mechanisms to protect animals and uphold ethical responsibility in society.

ಸಂಜೆ ಸೂರ್ಯನ ಉಷ್ಣ ಬಣ್ಣಗಳಿಂದ ತೇಲುವ ಟೆರೆಸಿಟಾದ ಒಳಾಂಗಣವು ಚಿತ್ರಕಾವ್ಯದಂತೆ ಕಾಣುತ್ತದೆ. ಪ್ರಭಾವಶಾಲಿ ಮಹಿಳೆಯರ ಚಿತ್ರಗಳೊಂದಿಗೆ ಕೈಯಿಂದ ಚಿತ್ರಿಸಲಾದ ಗೋಡೆಗಳು, ಟ್ರೋಪಿಕಲ್ ಹೂಗಳು, ಬೌಗನ್‌ವಿಲ್ಲಿಯಾ ಮತ್ತು ಬಂಗಾರದ ಅಲಂಕಾರಗಳು ಅದಕ್ಕೆ ವಿಶಿಷ್ಟ ಆಕರ್ಷಣೆ ನೀಡುತ್ತವೆ. ಟರ್ಕಾಯ್ಸ್ ಸೀಟುಗಳು ಮತ್ತು ಆಂಟಿಕ್ ಗೋಲ್ಡ್ ಅಲಂಕಾರಗಳ ಸಂಯೋಜನೆ ಸ್ಥಳಕ್ಕೆ ಸೊಗಸಾದ ರಹಸ್ಯಮಯ ಭಾವನೆಯನ್ನು ನೀಡುತ್ತದೆ.

ಕಾಕ್ಟೇಲ್‌ಗಳ ಮೂಲಕ ಕಥೆ ಹೇಳುವ ಶೈಲಿ

ಜಾಗತಿಕ ರುಚಿಗೆ ಸ್ಥಳೀಯ ಸ್ಪರ್ಶ

ಟೆರೆಸಿಟಾದ ಆಹಾರ ಪಟ್ಟಿ ಜಾಗತಿಕ ಶೈಲಿಯನ್ನು ಪ್ರತಿಬಿಂಬಿಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದರೂ ಅದರಲ್ಲಿ ಸೃಜನಶೀಲತೆ ಮತ್ತು ಧೈರ್ಯ ತುಂಬಿದೆ.

“ಪ್ಲೆಷರ್ ಹ್ಯಾಸ್ ಪವರ್” ಎಂಬ ತತ್ವದ ಮೇಲೆ ಸ್ಥಾಪಿತವಾಗಿರುವ ಟೆರೆಸಿಟಾ, ಆಧುನಿಕ ಮಹಿಳೆಯ ಧೈರ್ಯ ಮತ್ತು ಆತ್ಮವಿಶ್ವಾಸವನ್ನು ಆಚರಿಸುವ ಸ್ಥಳವಾಗಿದೆ.

ತನ್ನ ವಿಶಿಷ್ಟ ಶೈಲಿ, ಆಕರ್ಷಕ ವಾತಾವರಣ ಮತ್ತು “ದಿ ಕಾರ್ಟೆಲ್ ಕ್ವೀನ್ ಆಫ್ ಕಾಕ್ಟೇಲ್ ಲವರ್ಸ್” ಎಂಬ ಟ್ಯಾಗ್‌ಲೈನ್‌ನೊಂದಿಗೆ, ಟೆರೆಸಿಟಾ ಇದೀಗ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರಿನ ನೈಟ್‌ಲೈಫ್ ಲೋಕದ ಹೊಸ ಸಂವೇದನೆ — ಇಲ್ಲಿ ಬಂಡಾಯ ಮತ್ತು ಪ್ರೇಮ, ಶೈಲಿ ಮತ್ತು ಶಕ್ತಿ ಒಂದೇ ಸೂರಿನಡಿ ಸೇರುತ್ತವೆ.
