Two things reflected the response of Indian govt


Awake Christians
Two things reflected the response of Indian govt during the 2010 uprising. Sanjay Kak in his introduction on page xiii of "Until My Freedom Has Come" puts it in the following way.
"Two recent images reflected this response. The first was a cosmetic makeover for the patrolling soldiers, as the paramilitary were deployed on the streets in futuristic new protective body-gear. This brittle air of menace, "Darth Vader in cheap black plastic', as one acidic commentator in Srinagar called them, was shored up by new 'non-lethal' measures of crowd control. Proudly announced by the mandarins of the home ministry in New Delhi, they included a pressure-pump pellet gut that shoots out hundreds of high-velocity plastic pellets simultaneously. On the very first day it was used.....this "non lethal" gun....killed a man (In Sopore)"
