It's very useful.

"Prime Minister Narendra Modi called upon top police officers from across the country to realign policing practices with the national vision of a Viksit Bharat, emphasizing the need to modernise systems, transform public perception of the police and deepen youth engagement." HT. 'Viksit' means an advanced country with a high level of industrial and technological development. Collins. Bharat is India. 'Indian aviation is all about renting as it does not manufacture even a single component, said entrepreneur Ankit Sawant." "Sawant said no pilots are trained in India, no retrofitting is done in India and even the galley carts are imported." BT. On the other hand, there was a four-day convention on gaumutra (cow urine) in September at Jaipur in Rajasthan, where medicines for cancer to constipation from gaumutra were available. The Wire. Technological revolution. But, why blame the police when they are controlled by governments. On 30 June, 2023, during a visit to Delhi University by PM Modi, "The police remained with Abhigyan, the Delhi unit president of the CPIML-Liberation's All India Students Association (Aisa), and Anjali, the DU Secretary of the outfit, in their flat near the campus until well after the Prime Minister had left." The Telegraph. Virtual arrest of two citizens without reason or warrant, surely the police were ordered? Who amended the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) in 2019 to allow arrest of any individual on a charge of terrorism and imprisonment for years without bail for years, without having to provide any proof? On 04 December, the Bombay High Court released former DU professor Hany Babu Tharayil (55) on bail after five years in prison on terrorism charges in Bhima Koregaon case without any trial. TOI. A set up? No explanation or compensation was offered for this state-sponsored terrorism. International organizations have found evidence of malware on the phones of the accused in the case which are cited to keep the accused in prison. The Wire. "Union home ministry data tabled in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday (December 2) has revealed that only 335 persons have been convicted under the draconian UAPA between 2019-23, even as there were 10,440 arrests over this period." Not to be outdone, "From June 2014 through October this year the Enforcement Directorate ((ED) recorded 6,312 cases under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) and secured the conviction of 120 accused...during the same period, according to data tabled in Parliament." The Wire. In 2020, UP police was alleged to have burnt the body of a 19-year old victim of gang rape in the middle of the night without the family's consent. BBC. In 2023, three of the four accused were found not guilty by a court and the fourth was sentenced on a reduced charge. HT. It is not just a perception, people are terrified of the police, the government and of you, Sir. They love the bribes  (pib.gov.in), though. The perception is very useful. You can rule forever. Sir.
