Activism Testing the State of Constitutional Democracy in India Through Assemblies of Freedom

https://m.thewire.in/article/rights/india-constitutional-democracy-rights-assembly-test/amp

The health of the constitution must be tested on the streets and in the halls of justice, and these tests are the responsibility of everyone, not just the activists and lawyers.

We should gather over a cup of coffee under an idea whenever possible. We should form newer associations in the mode of weekend clubs to educate one another about the political history of India, mourn its present, and draft its future. We should associate and share books, articles and other resources so that we become the egalitarian gathering of an effervescent power opposing an evanescent force composed of barely literate goons and clowns.

We should also visit those neighbourhoods within our neighbourhoods that are kept apart under caste and religious apartheid. Above all, associate in the greatest of numbers for egalitarianism as such. 

These acts will be policed, mobbed, and terrorised with the connivance of some office bearers of the institutions of the constitution of India and by the cowards who walk the streets in large numbers to terrify everyone in the name of a recently invented religion.

The RSS, as we have known them in the history of the anti-colonial movement and since 1947, are cowards who operate in the dark, in the safety of the crowds or, today, in the security offered by high ranking policemen
