“One of the wonderful things about Indian democracy and why we are able to function is the complete anarchy of its structure. What one ministry classifies as top secret, the neighboring ministry publishes in its annual report… We leak like a factory of sieves… That’s one of the plus points… Remember, that the one attempt at authoritarian rule in India collapsed under its own weight after 19 months because nobody knew anything… That’s how the emergency ended. Somebody thought she [Indira Gandhi] was going to win an election.” 🤣🤣
If I could even have half the wit that one of the great journalists of our times, P.Sainath has.
