Civil rights lawyer Sudha Bharadwaj who has been honored for her work by Harvard Law School is in jail, as an under trial. Charges are not yet framed.
Other academics and rights activists arrested in the Bhima Koregaon agitation are also in jail. Citizens' fundamental right to question the government, is now in serious danger.
There is chilling disconnect between governance and citizens' issues.
Small, new state of Jharkhand needs a 5 phase election schedule.
Because three fourths of it still remain under Maoist influence.
Governance models have failed to deliver genuine welfare.
Elected governments fail the test of trust.
Unseen is the reality that without a free, empowered citizenry, there can be no real democracy.
