... Where Mr. Nayyar pointed out to his superiors (when directed to get the idols out of the structure, as and how it should be) that as a D.M. he has the right to not act as per the orders, owing to his discretion and good judgement, which the services afford him. He citied fear of breakdown of public law and order... You may cite breakdown of the morale and traditions of the services of not beating the chest for doing one's duties to earn an award... Just a suggestion 😉

The best answer to those who only know how to use power of rules to undermine dissent is to pore over the rules to reply them back using the very lacunae that come to exist when rules are made to undermine dissent... As per my very very limited knowledge on this, I saw an example (though used to further tremendous injustice and almost unlawfully) of D.M. K. K. Nayyar (of the Babri Masjid idols placement fiasco infamy).

I hope you have watched the movie "V for Vendetta"... Every Scene (Technically speaking, everything happening at one place at one time in the film is a scene... Just adding here to help you appreciate what I am focusing on) is a story of Vendetta... But the scene I love the most is when Inspector Finch imagines the playout of how one person's act (committed out of a stupor of power) can begin (by understanding how us people behave) the revolution against fascism.

Both Qualitatively (via labelling of degrees, schools, colleges, marks, Companies worked for, designations, Luxuries bought...) and Quantitatively (via comparative equivalency between one who achieved the aforementioned and others who could not). All are just cogs of varying sizes and hierarchy (based on preference of receving the oil of money - via the qualitative benchmarking as explained earlier - to keep them moving) in the machine of economy.

Dear Kannan, why we don't (or are unable to) stand and support the truth (or protest against lies) is because we are being manufactured as cogs in the Economic wheel which runs our socities... We are not getting educated (leave apart a lucky few who chose or got study the litterateur, history, politics and such subjects..) but getting fabricated (pun intended... Just add "into") to put a price of every moment spent.
