Sanjay Dixit, Rahul Dewan, Vishnu Jain, Vineet Jindal, Mrityunjay Tiwari. Remember them. They represented a billion of us today, when those who were elected to represent a billion of us, went into hiding.
My views, on ordinary Indians fighting the might of the State and winning:
First know the game, then attempt to play it
If the risk-reward tradeoff is not worth it, if possible to skip, then skip it
If you like the game, play it, know more about the game, and play better again
