Recognition undone: the Transgender Persons Amendment Act, 2026 and the return of social morality Parmar, D. The Transgender Persons (Protection of Rights) Amendment Act, 2026, is widely described as a regression, a reversal of the rights framework established in National Legal Services Authority v Union of India (2014). This article concurs, but contends the regression has a distinct character that existing commentary has not been fully articulated. Drawing on B.R. Ambedkar's distinction between constitutional morality and social morality, it argues that the Amendment does not merely remove rights, it reinstates social morality as the governing principle of legal recognition, substituting the state's authorisation for the individual's selfidentification. The Supreme Court hearing of May 2026 makes this visible in a further and troubling way: social morality is already operating as a prior condition of judicial cognition, before constitutional argument is even heard. The piece reads the Amendment and the hearing through that diagnostic.

AI's patriarchal grammar: How large language models distort feminist legal analysis Parmar, D.; Desouza, S. This article argues that AI language models can produce what we term "patriarchal grammar:" a recurring distortion of feminist legal scholarship through the euphemization of sexual violence, the erasure of structural feminist critique, and the naturalization of patriarchal assumptions as neutral facts. These distortions pose a serious epistemic risk to feminist legal analysis, particularly in postcolonial Asian contexts where English mediates legal discourse. Using ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini on the 2022 Indian marital rape case (RIT Foundation v. Union of India), we observed that in the selected encounters documented here, these models transformed "marital rape" into "intimate disputes," reduced Justice Shakdher's feminist constitutional reasoning to generic rights discourse and presented Justice Hari Shankar's patriarchal logic as objective fact. These encounters are presented with sufficient contextual detail to enable critical evaluation, though full replicability is constrained by the instability of hosted commercial AI systems. Following Gayatri Spivak, we ask for whom we are making language accessible, and to what effect. While AI tools promise linguistic equity, they risk enacting epistemic violence by selectively filtering feminist analysis through dominant patriarchal frameworks. We conclude by proposing protocols for feminist scholars to preserve epistemological authority when engaging with AI tools.
