Faisal C K

Author of The Supreme Codex: A Citizen's Anxieties and Aspirations on the Indian Constitution (Bookwell, 2025), reviewed by Prof. Upendra Baxi (Professor Emeritus, Warwick University, UK). A columnist for The Hindu, The New Indian Express, and The Wire, I hold dual postgraduate degrees in Law and Political Science (UGC-NET qualified). With over two decades of engagement in constitutional, legal, and policy spheres, my core areas of expertise include Constitutional Law, Jurisprudence, and Law & Poverty—where I bridge scholarly reflection with the realities of governance and reform. My professional journey includes serving on deputation as Private Secretary to Members of Parliament Sri. Rajmohan Unnithan and Sri. K. Muraleedharan. These experiences offered firsthand exposure to legislative drafting, constituency issues, and parliamentary processes, strengthening my skills in policy design and parliamentary consultancy. I also draw on my UPSC Civil Services background—having reached the interview stage in 2009 with 140/200 in the Essay paper—an experience that sharpened my analytical and mentoring abilities in civil service coaching. My writing spans nearly 200 op-eds across leading national publications such as The Hindu, The New Indian Express, The Deccan Herald, The Sunday Guardian, The Wire, Scroll.in, National Herald, and LiveLaw. Recognized for my communication and analytical excellence, I have won first prizes in debates at AMU and the SAARC & National Inter-University Quiz Championship (1999). I now seek roles in journalism, law, academia, parliamentary consultancy, or civil service mentoring—within India or abroad—where I can contribute to research, public discourse, and institution-building.
