Ahimsa 2.0: Subcontinent is witnessing revival of non-violent movements, to protect constitutional...

The first challenge that a non-violent protest faces, always, is to remain non-violent in the face of repression and activities of agents provocateurs.

@jaffrelotc India’s needs reformed/expanded judiciary to take up cases fast! Had the Supreme Court heard the petitions fully before it went on vacation - the constitutionality of CAA would have been established!! After all #CAA is only providing basic human rights which Gandhi committed. 1/2

@jaffrelotc The Ahimsa roots of Hindu/Jain/Buddhist culture have not been accepted by all. You know India always had rules even for war - timings, how, with what - one can fight! But the invaders didn’t know these rules. How does one reconcile to these ...1/2

@jaffrelotc @BRRubin The comparison between the Pushtun and Kashmir is incomprehensible at best. There is no comparison... please feel free to visit both areas.

@jaffrelotc Dear Christophe as always you're so on point. If you say (as I felt) the judiciary is the last hope, then hope is lost. Non violence will not work in a country as inherently morally violent as India & Numbers won't permit armed resistance against fascists. Dark times these

@jaffrelotc And Supreme Court of India has failed us. Among all institutions, SCI has been the biggest disappointment. Check out its verdict on Babari mosque demolition case.
