New Age Indian Politics

Raisina Hill under siege-

The Delhi Police is out there to disperse people gathered for a cause.  The cause is to force the establishment of the State to fulfill its basic reason for existence - 'To protect peoples liberty and rights'.  In fact in India the establishment and especially the Police act only for VIPs and not for the people.

The foremost reforms that India needs is not economic reforms, but judicial and police reforms. India does not require to build its military muscles, but build more courts, recruit more judges and recruit more police. Free the police from the enslavement by their political masters. Today, the Police look like VIP security service rather than Police that implements Law to protect people.

Welcome to new age Indian politics. Indian youth have learnt to fight for secular public causes - causes that cut across identities and affect people of every class, caste and religion.

This trend has to organise itself to give meaningful changes to the highly identity based public space in India.
The interest groups should organise themselves into lobbyists for the while and later to capture corridors of power to bring about change.

we must learn and fine tune techniques of Satyagraha against latest crowd management tools of the State - water cannons,tear gas shells.
