If only we could direct our self-righteous rage, not towards demanding police brutality and government sponsored executions, but towards introspection, social reform and acceptance.. sigh..

'miraculously lifts the mists of collective forgetfulness':
blown away by this review of 'The Miraculous True History of Nomi Ali'.

#UzmaAslamKhan #context
Few novels present oppression and suffering through hard stories the way Uzma Aslam Khan’s book does

Well researched and lyrically narrated, Uzma Aslam Khan’s ‘The Miraculous True History of Nomi Ali’ is a fundamentally and unabashedly political novel.

This is possibly the largest number of people booked for sedition at one time in one district anywhere in India.

How did this slip below the radar?

10,000 people charged with sedition in one Jharkhand district. What does democracy mean here?

Adivasis say they are being hounded for invoking the Constitution to protect their land rights.

Unbelievably stupid and criminal of the police (and state govt) to do so, but then only to be expected.

10,000 people charged with sedition in one district means the State accepts that it has lost its legitimacy to rule.

Also, in a functional democracy, the courts would take suo motu cognisance of this, restore peoples rights, and the State's sanity.

'The crucial distinction, however, is that whereas executive legitimacy for these actions comes from popular elections, judicial legitimacy comes from open and public reason-giving. [...] it cannot both hear the case, but also hear it on the basis of secret material, and then pass judgment based on that secret material, so that nobody is in a position to understand or examine what it has done.'
