The ruthless eviction of Baba Ramdev and the brutal police assault on his followers has evoked strong political indignation with some recalling the Emergency. The comparison reminds me of a recent Arundhati Roy speech where she spoke of an undeclared emergency. The poor are being looted across the country and human rights violations are rampant. The nation is in the grip of corporate thugs and their servants who are our parliamentarians. To expect dharma or black money back from a praetorian political establishment is like living in fool's paradise.
