The Indian police are modeled on the Irish Constabulary, not the London Bobbies. It lacks operational autonomy. It is the biggest violator of the rule of law in India. Reforms, as in the Riberio Committee, are necessary. In my own class with senior IAS officers, they most readily agree with the behavior of the IP this film brings out.

We cannot violate the Constitution by executive action. Democracy is in peril in India.

Election Commission of India – Trust Is to Be Earned, Not Certified m.thewire.in/article/governm…
The title is misleading. The institution of the ECI today is far from independent by design. Democratic institutions should not be built on trust but by the functionality of their design.

Govt’s stupidity has few bounds. First order knee jerk is rife. 28% is probably above the revenue maximisation tariff!

Indeed. Most urgent. The mistake of Parliament in allowing anonymity ought to be corrected.

Hatred when collectively shared knows no bounds.... The father of the Muslim student has already accepted the hopelessness of the situation. This is- soft genocide -reducing Muslims to the new untouchables. Progress of Hindutva.

No seminar if the government finds it uncomfortable. How far have we fallen?

"Governance" by goodwill of the business. Modern society develops through the design of functional public policies, not by goading people and industry to be good! Similarly, you don't want your personal freedom to be "assured" by the goodwill of the government.

I would like to believe that this information is incorrect. If not, then the Minister would cause havoc on the Indian auto industry. Bans cannot be priced, incentives for non-fossil fuels can be. He would surely have to retract. Recall the "diesel ban".
