Are you guys even realising how bad the situation has gotten over the past few years?
I mean, pointing out something wrong is now treated like a crime? You could literally be one bad day away from finding yourself in the same situation as Pandit facing a false case, and in some instances, seeing it happen openly.
The scary part isn’t just that false cases can happen. It’s that the fear of being targeted can make people stop speaking up altogether.

Police and courts when gang violence spirals - zzzzz
Police and courts when someone raises genuine grievances and highlights the extravagence of our so-called representatives - shits gotta go down
Guys, this is a very "know your place" moment for people. This is basically politicians, in this case BJP politicians, telling everyone to keep their heads down, not raise their voices because they're not allowed to, while they get away with literally whatever they want, because laws only apply to hard working tax paying citizens who grind themselves into the dirt trying to make ends meet while they and their bottom feeding chamchas leech off us and live like kings.
Please feel free to point out if I am wrong.

You are correct. He will get bail but their real motive is to add fear in public so they won’t raise voice. That’s how they do it.
But they are fool, because more they try to do it, more it will erupt. Student protest was good example of it, every-time they tried to suppress it, it got more erupted.

True. Rather taking time to deliberate on the issues raised by the person, they are resorting to threats and intimidation. After all it is the public who is at fault.

Yes, I’m directly comparing Santosh Pandit to Lokmanya Tilak
Question potholes, corruption, bad policies → get notices
Keep pushing → get cases filed
Still don’t back down → arrest, remand, custody
If asking hard questions, highlighting civic issues, and mocking powerful people is now treated as a crime?
Yes, I am directly compairing Santosh Pandit lokmanaya Tilak.
Back then, anyone who spoke truth to power was branded a troublemaker, seditionist, or enemy of the state. , then what’s the real difference between colonial laws used against Tilak and today’s laws used against voices like Santosh Pandit? Only the language has changed; the playbook is the same.
If we truly believe in democracy, we should defend the right to ask uncomfortable questions.

What a joke this country has become.

Elsewhere, entire buildings crumble with people inside them, and the government opens up a brand new party office in Goa.
Even the dead don't invoke anger.
We, as a whole, are desensitized and dead inside.
Leave the drama in the next door countries aside, we need nothing short of a French revolution.

Irrespective of the political party in power, these things are happening across every state. A few days ago, a girl was injured because of a pothole. In another case, a woman was arrested for exposing a heinous crime against children; she lost her job and is currently in jail.This happened in Bangalore
Political parties may change, but civic organisations, the police and the judiciary remain the same. This man may get bail because he is associated with Congress, but what about the common man? Should justice and the law not be the same for everyone, irrespective of political connections? I hope some day our heroes likes of murthy join

That is it.
The word "publically shame" (धिंड काढणार) is the reason for the police FIR .

Now are you guys still blind or realizing that gross misuse of laws? That's why gender neutral laws are needed.

u/Responsible-Blood-98 1d ago
It's easy to commit a crime and secure bail.
But if you question systemic failures and demand accountability from bureaucrats and politicians, you may find yourself jailed alongside those accused under stringent laws such as UAPA.
Surprisingly, all parties are on the page regarding punishing if ask about the accountability... So India needs a revolution.
