The article discusses Piramal Capital and Housing Finance Limited’s (PCHFL) legal actions against online critics, particularly in response to dissent over the Dewan Housing Finance Corporation Limited (DHFL) acquisition. It highlights how PCHFL, under Ajay Piramal’s leadership, issued legal notices to silence “cyber-dissenters” who accused the company of misconduct in the DHFL resolution process. The piece frames this as part of a broader “web-based non-violent civil disobedience movement” against crony capitalism in India, led by the authors who had previously added “Controversies” sections to Wikipedia pages about Ajay Piramal and his companies. These additions were removed, which the authors attribute to suppression efforts. The article also references a specific legal notice from DSK Legal, Piramal’s counsel, targeting the authors for alleged defamation, claiming their online content caused reputational and financial harm. The authors argue that such legal moves reflect an attempt to stifle free speech and dissent, drawing parallels to historical resistance against oppression.

If SARFAESI (2002) is there, why fluid IBC (2016) is applied to the DHFL?
Posted on 10/03/2023 (IST 01:46) Updated on 14/03/2023 (IST 00:55) When we first viewed the acronym “SARFAESI”, we mistook it as “Sarfaroshi”, i.e., revolution. We may have to take recourse to Freudian psychoanalysis in order to interpret our (mis-)perception. In association to this, We recall the song written by Bismil Azimabadi and immortalized by theContinue reading “If SARFAESI (2002) is there, why fluid IBC (2016) is applied to the DHFL?”
DO WE NEED A ROBIN HOOD TO ENRICH THE INDIAN HAVE-NOTS?
Posted on 09/03/2023 One fine morning, an idea came into our minds that the loots of Indian wealth can be stopped by following a peculiar “Robin Hood approach” (henceforth RHA). Before revealing the RHA, we have to point out the money-laundering cases by the fugitives, the burden of external plus internal debt, political donations, terror-fundingContinue reading “DO WE NEED A ROBIN HOOD TO ENRICH THE INDIAN HAVE-NOTS?”

BJP and Piramal are afraid: suppression of OBMA’s online activism!
The blog post asserts that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Piramal Group, specifically Ajay Piramal, are threatened by the online activism of OBMA (Once in a Blue Moon Academia). It claims that OBMA’s campaign to reveal an allegedly illegal resolution process involving Dewan Housing Finance Corporation Limited (DHFL) is facing suppression through legal threats from Piramal’s team and DSK Legal. The post accuses the alleged BJP-Piramal nexus of exploiting DHFL’s fixed deposit holders and other victims, alleging a long-term collaboration between BJP and Piramal that fuels crony capitalism, and positions the activism as a resistance against these systemic injustices.
