India is the largest democracy! But the question is ... Is it really democracy or dictatorship??How can a doctor (Dr.Binayak Sen) who works with the tribals and common people's causes be incarcerated for two long years without anything proved against him. The police claims that he passed on letters to naxals!! 
I am sure, if this is the way India is 'progressing', then people like me will end up in prisons as well. Atleast Binayak Sen is a largely known public figure... Who would know any Reena Mary George... who works for the rights of prisoners??? Some day they might just not want me to work for the cause of prisoners and charge me with some absolutely nonsense case and incarcerate me as well... Are we, human rights activits really safe in a country like India where the State players do not want any development in this country, where the State players want to put down human rights activists like Binayak Sen behind bars, where the the State players do not want to uphold human dignity? Am i safe in this country?
It is time... that we fight back and not be silent... One of the poems I heard yesterday at Dhuru Hall, Dadar (A programme organised by the 'Release Binayak Sen Committee') it said... Keeping quite is the biggest mistake we all do... When things go wrong and nothing moves within us..then that is the biggest mistake... lovely poems read by contemporary, progressive readers...
I would lose hope in the Criminal Justice System of India if Binayak Sen is not given bail this time by Supreme Court of India.
