A Truth Commission for the Northeast

This essay is a letter to my fellow Indians. It’s a prayer, a plea, a proposal for a project, a moral experiment. It was triggered by the emptiness of Independence Day, when a majoritarian, mediocre India confronted the vacuity of its political self. These feelings increased upon reading reports on December 4 of the massacre of several civilians in Nagaland. They were waiting at a bus stop when they were killed by the army, which mistook them for insurgents.

My anger and shame, my guilt at being a silent Indian, increased as one heard Ajit Doval, the national security adviser, claim that our security is being threatened by the anarchy of civil society. Doval performed an imperious inversion, making the idea of security sacrosanct and treating civil society as suspect. The nation state’s sense of the genocidally surreal becomes obvious in defence issues. Our majoritarianism makes even citizenship a questionable ritual. In an Orwellian sense, it permits some citizens to annihilate others with impunity.
