More than two years now. More than two years since world's largest democracy imprisoned one of its top rated academic and intellectual. It's obscene how this govt can arrest and imprison anyone without trial. Just spare a moment to think about what's happening in India today. The scale of this violence just grows and grows. And sadly with it has grown our apathy. #AnandTeltumbde
