"Indian activist and educationist Sonam Wangchuk, on hunger strike for the past 20 days in Delhi, has been forcibly removed from the protest site." "Videos from the protest site on Saturday showed chaos erupting just before 07.30 local time (02.00 GMT) when dozens of police and paramilitary personnel swooped in on the stage where the activist was lying down. Protesters who tried to stop them were pushed away." BBC. Indian police behaving like the Gestapo (wikipedia) at the behest of the government is common in India. Uttar Pradesh (UP) Police cremated the body of the Hathras gang rape victim in the middle of the night and beat up her family members, they alleged. BBC. Three of the four rapists have been found innocent while the fourth has been jailed on a lesser charge. NDTV. "Tribal families in Madhya Pradesh's (MP) Chhatarpur are protesting against the Ken-Betwa River Link Project through symbolic acts such as funeral pyre and noose protests, demanding justice."

"Around a thousand Punjab farmers on their way to Delhi to take part in the Kisan Mahapanchayat protest against the proposed India-US trade deal were stopped at the Shambhu border yesterday as Haryana Police erected barricades." The Print. Yesterday, "Thousands have gathered again in the Indian capital Delhi a day after a police crackdown on supporters of India's Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), a youth-led movement seeking education reforms and resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan."

Pictures by Reuters show the young students being brutally beaten, police firing tear gas and dragging away some by force, with blood pouring down the faces of the protesters. Some are lying unconscious on the ground. Reuters. Police claim 180 of their comrades have been injured. Sadly, most Indians do not trust or believe the police, civil servants or politicians any more. Most terrifying, a photo by The Wire shows security personnel, shielding behind an armored personnel carrier, while aiming automatic rifles at unarmed protesters. Does it mean that, given the order, they will have no hesitation in slaughtering young students protesting against their lives and careers being destroyed by leaks of question papers? The BJP governs UP, MP, Haryana, Delhi and the Centre.

On the other hand, Kanika Katiyar of NDTV was protected as the protesters formed a human wall around journalists, washed tear gas from their eyes and even provided face masks. India is classed as an electoral autocracy in a V-Dem report. The Wire. It is amazing that Western leaders preach sermons on democracy but keep inviting Prime Minister Narendra Modi to their countries, thereby legitimizing this corrupt, dictatorial regime. No need to say anything. Just drop him quietly. Say the time is not convenient. Hopefully, he will get the message. Once the tourism stops.
