Unlike foundational myths in political philosophy, the State of Nature is not an origins story; it is a real state of affairs when the authority of the state is weakened. It is an ever-present danger. #DelhiOctober2026
The strategy is of 1970s vintage: keep on ratcheting pressure until the government makes a major mistake. Then things take a life of their own. This is a one-sided calculation that doesn’t take into account the action space of the other side.
No properly run government will allow anarchy in its jurisdiction. Not surprised that “cockroaches” have been detained. Everyone from the apex court to the government and, in particular Delhi Police, have handled the protesters with kid gloves. Great to see there was no violence.
