The plan is to depict a heroic regime: GN Devy on attempts to rewrite history

"If one speaks of federalism then one becomes anti-national, if one speaks of diversity then one becomes unpatriotic, if one speaks of a different opinion there is UAPA [Unlawful Activities Prevention Act], and if one tries to tell the truth then trolls are directed at that person. Since all of this is happening and the principles of justice, equality and freedom, inscribed in the Constitution, are being constricted, then there is good reason for any objective observer to ask if this is not a totalitarian regime."
