[Reader-list] The Peculiar Case of the Golden Peacock

[pankhuree dube]

      Thank you, Jeebesh for posting this mini-documentary. It is unfortunate that the young student they interviewed at the end considered the protest a "natak" and a complete waste of time. The fact is that successful demonstrations and protests are nataks to some extent in order to dramatize the suffering of affected, frequently powerless multitudes. This helps social movements win attention and create a carnival-like atmosphere as they are staring down those in authority and risking their own lives. Hopefully, the rest of the class learned something from the event.
Cheers,
Pankhuree
