As part of this world I am ashamed…but no, ashamed is not the right word, more of a cold anger against the perpetrators of such violence, the politicians, manufacturers, and financiers who support mass destruction, genocide, death, and ethnic cleansing for their own profit and power. It goes beyond words yet words at the moment are all I have.

As a private citizen, the options for suing an intelligence agency are few and far between. The US Central Intelligence Agency, as with other members of the secret club, pour scorn on such efforts.

The Supreme Court, India’s last bastion for democracy and civil liberties, will face one of the greatest tests in its history when the constitutionality of BNS-BNSS-BS is challenged, even while IPC-124A remains unadjudicated.
