Nikhil, has come up with this unique way of protesting against government's Divide and Rule (read Reservations) policy. He suggests a strategy to divide the polity instead. And he has already done what he suggested.

Yes, I am talking about the Police force in India. Though every state has it's own Police Department, and they function independently - there is something which is very common among the police forces of various states of India. It's corruption, it's being a puppet of politicians, it's being Terrorists in Uniform.
I know I can be accused of Generalizing here. But what else can you say when you see that a group of students protesting against Reservation policy of government, are beaten up brutally by the police force? Are we living in a free democratic country? I hear that the students were dealt that way because they were obstructing traffic. Okay, I agree that obstructing traffic is totally wrong, but is this the way you treat a peaceful protest march? And what about those VIP's who obstruct the traffic every time they travel on the road? and what about those various political rallies which see the entire city coming to a stand still, and what about those rowdy rally supporters and party activists who think they own the entire city's infrastructure and go on destroying public property and mistreating (even beating up) common public on roads/trains/buses, just because they think that this is the way to exercise there right to protest? What does the Police do then?
