The Uttar Pradesh government has recently come up with an ordinance against "Love Jihad". In our previous podcast on this subject, we discussed The Ground Reality with Swati Goel Sharma. In this podcast, we look at the law itself with Nikhil Mehra. Is the law really needed? Is the solution to the problem of systemic grooming going to get solved with a law? Or is this a case of bad law and order in our society? Nikhil will give us clarity on many of these issues in this podcast.
