C-da,
This is a law and if Indians do not like this Act they have the power to
change it. What else do you propose -- a dictatorship where a person like you
who wants something different should have the power to change everything his
own way?

Maybe Ram has an answer :-).
The latest news is that : National Security Act imposed in Rajasthan.
Under the National Security Act, the District Magistrate can order arrest
without a warrant.
That is desi-demokrasy in its best! !

'Rock of Gibraltar' leading protest

JAIPUR: If the Gujjar agitation is being conducted with a modicum of military
precision, it's because the chief strategist of the protests is a retired Army
colonel, who, his supporters say, has the qualities of a general.
Col Kirori Singh Baisala rose from the ranks in the Army, from a lowly sepoy,
and is known for his rigidity and commitment, as was seen when Gujjar mobs
across the state attacked Rajasthan police in coordinated waves, completely
overwhelming them.
"Let hundred people die. But we are clear in our objectives. We have suffered
enough and would not go back until we get the ST status," he said. Since
Monday, he has been sitting with the bodies of six people killed in the police
firing in Pipalkehra village, his native place.
In the Army, he was called the 'Rock of Gibraltar' by his officers when he was
a jawan.
When the chief minister, Vasundhara Raje, sent her emissary to invite him to
Jaipur and and hold a meeting with her, he
said , "Maharaniji ko kah dijiye ki pahle ek chithi de dein jisme vachan dein
ki sarkar hamein ST status dene ke liye recommend karti hai, phir meeting mein
aoonga (Tell the Maharani to give a letter promising
ST status, then I'll come to the meeting)."
