>
> Given the importance of the Naz Foundation decision, and despite the  
> fact that it is an excellently written judgment, we recognize that a  
> 105 pages can be a challenge for many people. We were therefore  
> prompted to bring out an analytical primer which could serve as a  
> guide through the intricacies of the judgment.
>
> We are happy to announce the publication of a new primer on the  
> judgment. "The Right that Dares to speak its Name" has  been put  
> together by Arvind Narrain and Marcus Eldridge. The Primer contains  
> a schematic guide highlighting the key aspects of the judgment with  
> a commentary. It then examines the background and finally contains a  
> few  commentaries that came out after the judgment. The Primer is  
> 140 pages and is priced at Rs. 50. Copies are available at ALF
