A Murder and Anti-Corruption Protests in India

It’s crazy season now in India’s capital. But the normally darkly humorous unpredictability of Indian politics has now taken a dark turn with the tragic murder of a right to information activist Shehla Masood in front of her home in Bhopal, the capital of Madhya Pradesh.

She was a twitter follower of mine (you can also follow me at @acharya_dude) and I admired her perseverance and thirst for social justice.

In the short term, the authorities must launch an investigation into this murder and take action to apprehend and prosecute the perpetrators of this crime.
