Now, coming to Mr. Gandhi. I often feel that he picks up issues that can serve as political opportunities.

This is a serious issue, and I agree that the government should have immediately reassured the nation—the students—that it recognised the gravity of the situation and was taking concrete steps to investigate it. The opposition was also right to demand answers and accountability.

But expecting the government to provide definitive answers or hold a parliamentary debate almost immediately, before the facts have even been established, is unreasonable. Serious allegations require serious investigation, not instant political conclusions. I am sure he doesn’t even remember what he had for breakfast a day before!

More importantly, calling for Mr. Shah's resignation as though his removal is the solution to the entire issue, while suggesting that he is incompetent or personally ordered firing on students without established evidence, goes far beyond legitimate scrutiny. Criticise the government, demand answers, question decisions—but do so on the basis of facts and evidence.

Mr. Gandhi, grow up—not just in age, but in political maturity. You seem to have a personal agenda! The Leader of the Opposition has a much larger responsibility than simply finding the government's next weakness and turning it into a political narrative. The role demands judgement, restraint, facts and, above all, a genuine commitment to serve the nation.

I am not particularly interested in party politics, but I do wonder: is this really the best leadership the opposition can offer? Surely the country deserves an opposition that can challenge the government strongly while also demonstrating the maturity and competence required to lead the nation if given the mandate.

Democracy works only when all three of its pillars—the government, the opposition and the people—do their part.

Ideally, the government and opposition should have jointly reassured the nation—especially the students—that they were working together to get to the bottom of the matter. Protests, however, is creating another problem that the administration now has to manage alongside the original investigation.

I also find it important to distinguish between genuine student frustration and political mobilisation. I have heard accounts of people being brought into protests with incentives such as payment and food to show numbers in protests. I know this for a fact because one of our permanent house helps is participating in these protests! The overall mobilisation is indeed taking place and it is deeply unfortunate because it has probably stopped a peaceful legitimate grievances of students who have genuinely suffered. I also studied hard to get into good colleges and can understand what students go through during those times. Some students may actually welcome the disruption because the cancellation of examinations gives them additional preparation time.

For me, democracy rests on three pillars.

First, the government in power—which has a responsibility to act in the interest of the people, govern effectively and help the nation progress.
Second, the opposition—which should also act in the interest of the people, offer constructive suggestions, debate on proposed decisions that appear inappropriate.
Third, the people—who must respect the democratic mandate and allow both the government and the opposition to perform the roles entrusted to them.
The protests surrounding the examination controversy are a serious matter. They are particularly painful for students who have worked extremely hard, waited anxiously for examinations and results, and to earn a place in the institutes of their choice. Having gone through that experience myself, I understand how demoralising it can be when something outside a student's control threatens that effort.
What saddens me today is that all three pillars appear to be falling short of their responsibilities.

The government must take this issue with the seriousness it deserves, conduct a thorough and impartial investigation, identify those responsible and ensure that such misconduct cannot happen again. The opposition should assist in getting to the truth and strengthening the system—not merely use the issue as political ammunition against the government. And students who have genuinely been affected deserve our empathy. At the same time, I would urge them to have some patience and faith that the matter will be investigated, jointly by the leadership and the opposition, and that stronger safeguards will be put in place. What has happened cannot be undone, but the focus now should be on ensuring that it never happens again.

It’s going slightly longer a note regarding what’s happening in our country these days. Since it’s long, I am going to split it in multiple posts, people who are concerned, kindly follow the note as they are split into pieces. I have taken the help of ChatGPT to two make the note as crisp as possible.

@WhitPennRod Hi, can you please drop me an email at [email protected] (I am not very good at social media). Recently, saw one of talks interviewing someone. Since, you are a journalist, wanted to correct a few facts. The talk seem like a publicity stunt :(
