Not taking anything away from Neha, Dipke etc. but they fight a stale Govt. losing trust rapidly.

a buddhist monk, a hijabi girl, a bihari student, a queer person, a delhi local, a gurudwara prabandhak, an old grandpa, a young journalist...nothing worth saving in this country is a monolith, and that's true for its democracy as well.

If you ever wondered how Congress won us freedom, this is what it might have looked like.

It would take *one million years* for 100 workers working non-stop at the minimum wage to earn as much as Adani already has - Jean Dreze explains.
