I know of nothing but zero probability events.

@LiveLawIndia Without fear of retribution is one part. Without temptation of post retirement plum postings should be the other.
@monteskw Agreed. The BJP has managed to mobilize Hindus based on bogus arguments like minority appeasement and engineering riots. It would have been stronger had Muslims mobilized on the basis of religion. The BJP's hold on Hindus is fraying as the economy goes downhill.
“Do you abandon the house to the termites and the vandals or do you start to help with the repair work, impossibly difficult as that task may feel?” Fabulous piece by Ruchir Joshi. https://www.telegraphindia.com/opinion/a-verdict-on-the-republic/cid/1718476#.XcqQ4UB7xgA.twitter
A verdict on the republic

Do we conclude that the nation has reached the end of its usefulness, or continue to believe it will serve its people?

@vidyut Only way to bring pressure is to shut down the state. A few people should be declared persona-non-grata in MH, the way TN, KL did.
@Incindia Out on bail since 2013! Inordinate delays in the criminal justice system is one of the primary causes of much of our troubles.
@TheAgeOfBananas Exactly. If INC is imaginative, it can oust the BJP out of the municipal corporations and panchayats. Erase patronage networks and publicity multipliers like Bollywood.
@GeetV power consumption going down as well; crazy.

"That unanimity hurt. It did. One had hoped, or wished to have a hope, that there would be a chink in the armour somewhere. An ambiguity. The absence of it, the full glare of a “unanimous” majoritarianism, came like a stab in the heart of the idea of India."

"When a consensus is being crafted, even one voice can break it. The fact that we could not hear this voice in the court does not mean we will not hear it elsewhere. It is there that India will live, hopefully."

Ayodhya Verdict: In 'Balance of Probabilities', Judges Missed Chance to Speak With Courage

Even a solitary voice is sufficient to break the majoritarian consensus that is being built today.
