'It may be an emergency response, but emergencies create precedents. A democracy that requires its military to secure test booklets because it cannot trust its civil admin has traded long-term constitutional health for short-term political firefighting.'

This video is worth watching, for many reasons. This attempt to lynch people is the new normal in Modi's India, but also how cowardly the Hindutva goons were when confronted by the Sikh truck driver.
The hindu gaurakshak lynchmob on a prowl to lynch was instead seen running for their lives.
Their FAILED to accomplish their Dharmic act of lynching because they chose a WRONG target, someone who was NOT a Muslim !
But Muslims never seem to learn.

"In this new order, Indians are taught not to mourn, but to gloat. A society that watches war with popcorn in hand, cheers the death of the other, and that regards mourning as weakness, gradually loses the capacity for civic compassion" — @AnandTeltumbde

As Mahatma Gandhi reminded everyone, "I feel that our progress towards the goal will be in exact proportion to the purity of our means."
That's a question which will always hang over this temple in Ayodhya, built at the site of a mosque demolished by goons in 1992.

This is very moving and what a single man with a mission can achieve. Few have done more in modern India for a cause that has been rendered marginal by big media, courts and parliament due to existing caste bias.
@BezwadaWilson's life, to use the Gandhi misquote, is a message.

This should be routine administrative stuff, not worth wasting much energies over. Keep them functional, simple and easy to maintain.
