Committee and make their contribution to the building of the republic. #RepublicDay | @glorious_gluten
Government of India Act, 1935 and heralded by the upper echelons of the country.
The judiciary, army, the police are repositories of this colonial legislation. @glorious_gluten
Over the last year, the omnipresence of the police in the functioning of the Indian democracy particularly in its response to the #COVID19 pandemic has become prominent. | @glorious_gluten
I will examine two aspects of #policing: maintenance of law and order and surveillance. @glorious_gluten
The colonial state maintained ‘public order’ by policing populations whose behaviours it deemed unnatural and using vast surveillance powers to quell independence, labour and communist movements. | @glorious_gluten
The #police have evolved into a system of casteist social control targeted at people from #Dalit, #Adivasi, #Bahujan and minority communities.
Therefore, each of the 29 states have their own police forces. The centre is also allowed to maintain its own police forces to assist the states with ensuring law and order. @glorious_gluten
States also have their police manuals detailing how #police of the state are organised, their roles and responsibilities, records that must be maintained, etc. @glorious_gluten
This legislation characterised several nomadic and semi-nomadic tribes as hereditary criminals. | @glorious_gluten
This has now includes #CowSlaughter laws.
Discretionary power within the police force is higher within the lower ranks of the police force given their proximity to the public. | @glorios_gluten
Over 4,000 individuals were arrested for allegedly committing minor, bailable offences such as gambling, hurt and alcohol possession all victimless offences. @glorious_gluten
Much like its law and order function, bodies of marginalised communities are subjected to surveillance in different ways. @glorious_gluten
This record is also utilized by the district administration to extern members of these communities.
In Ehsaan Nagar, a Pardhi basti, in Bhopal an entire wedding party including the bride and groom were detained on their wedding day for failing to do so.
The accused policemen were acquitted by the SC amidst much uproar by terming it an act of "passive submission and a peaceful affair."
The Brahminical patriarchal nature of policing forms the undercurrent of the violence inflicted against DBA women. @glorious_gluten
In 2006, a senior police official, Prakash Singh, moved the #SupremeCourt through a public interest litigation. | @glorious_gluten

Don't look at deadlines negatively! They are a useful tool to measure your performance + stimulate you to do more. You can learn a lot from a single deadline. Did you work too little or too much? Was the goal too ambitious or easy? Apply lessons to the future work. 😉 #MyMindset
I wish I had this... — don't excuse yourself. Forget about what you can't and focus on what you can.
Stop comparing yourself to others, come from the point of what you have, know and have: "I can... so I will do..!" #MyMindset
BTW this was an update of one of the previous tweets. And I'm continuing this thread today!
Do something for the long-term. Everything else is a distraction. 🛑 Nowadays I always check if the thing I'm doing aligns with my long-term plans. If not — that is probably not the best thing to do at the moment. #MyMindset
The only way to get more done is to have less to do. Eliminate your obligations, say "no" to things that are not important, stay minimal in what you do, focus. Being busy is not equal to getting things done. #MyMindset

Focus only on positive things! These include what *you* have, know and can do. If you don't have, know or cannot do something either get it or ignore it. Don't think about it and don't use it as an excuse.
