Is India in danger of becoming a police state?-Excerpt -A.Roy´s Interview

What do you mean, "of becoming"? What do you think it is in Orissa and Chhatisgarh and Kashmir and Nagaland and Manipur and Lalgarh? Maybe it's not a police state in Bombay though I am sure the surveillance is big time. You know, this Unique Identity Card, even the Conservative Party in English trashed it. Here everybody is saying it's a great thing. You can't give people water, you can't give people schools, you can't give people healthcare, but you can give them a unique identity card, and if they don't have it, they don't exist. So what are those 300,000 people hiding in the forests of Chhattisgarh now going to do? If they come out and get it, their land is gone; if they don't get it, they don't exist, and so they can be finished off, and it won't be on the record.
