When a woman with head injury beat up the police.

"On 5 January 2020, more than 50 masked people armed with rods, sticks and acid attacked the campus of Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), Delhi and injured more than 39 students and teachers," reads a post at Wikipedia. Although there is heavy police presence in and around JNU, "After attacking residents of the university campus for 3 hours, the mob escaped; none of its members were arrested or detained." The savage mob consisted of both men and women and did not spare blind or physically impaired students. The attack was coordinated on social media sites linked to Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), which is apparently the student wing of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), which supports the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which has an absolute majority with 303 seats in the Lok Sabha.  Prime Minister Narendra Modi used to be a member of the RSS from 8 years of age. The ABVP claimed "Left-affiliated groups and students from Jamia Milia Islamia" were responsible because "Students of Jamia Milia Islamia indulge in such violence as they did in their campus." Do they? The truth is that while Delhi Police were mere onlookers while the mob wreaked its bestiality on JNU, at 10.30 pm on 15 December, the police stormed Jamia University and mercilessly beat up students and faculty, injuring 125 people. However, the ABVP was forced to accept that two of the attackers carrying sticks at JNU are its members. President of JNU students' union Aishe Ghosh thought she would be lynched when attacked with rods and left bleeding from her head. The helpful police has filed, not one but, two FIRs (first information reports) against Ghosh for manhandling security personnel. Streetlights inside JNU were manually switched off around 6.30 pm and darkness prevailed till 11.05 pm, showing the attack was carefully coordinated. Naturally, "police officials say they have failed to get any CCTV footage because the areas where the violence occurred are not covered by cameras". With violence so widespread sounds a bit thin. Should have blamed the darkness. The Delhi Police is controlled by the Ministry of Home Affairs under Mr Amit Shah who is protected by over 100 police officers, including such things as Z plus, SWAT team and other lethal teams citizens cannot even imagine, God bless him. "The current political regime cannot exist unless it finds a new enemy," wrote Pratap Bhanu Mehta. "It now legitimises itself, not by its positive accomplishments, but by using the enemy as a rallying point." As in Delhi, so in Uttar Pradesh (UP) where too the BJP has absolute majority. The reaction of UP Police to peaceful protests "was more in the manner of police in Sudan, Iraq or Iran, rather than in modern societies like France, Spain or Lebanon where the norm has been a response of proportionate force and avoidance of any hint of collective punishment", wrote Manoj Joshi. When a regime with a huge majority in parliament uses the police to help goons to beat up peaceful protesters it must have doubts about its survival. Is it perhaps a beginning of the end?
