Tanishqa Butala, currently pursuing B.A. LL.B., with a strong interest in public policy, governance, human rights, and socio-legal research. My work primarily focuses on making complex legal and policy issues more accessible through research, writing, and advocacy-oriented initiatives. Over time, I have contributed to projects and publications related to constitutional law, environmental policy, caste politics, prison reform, and blasphemy laws. Through internships, fellowships, and research-based collaborations, I have worked on policy analysis, legal drafting, community-focused advocacy, and public-oriented legal communication. I am particularly interested in exploring the relationship between law, society, and governance, and I aspire to contribute towards meaningful policy reform and rights-based legal discourse.
