THOUGH Uttarakhand had 21,966 protests, the
highest number in the year 2016, it was Tamil Nadu with 20,450 protests-at the
rate of 47 protests a day-that caught the national attention. The reason was
simple: the protests in Tamil Nadu were massive, prolonged and in many cases
spontaneous. Of course, one way of looking at it was as vibrant democracy in
action, though the cynical public would laugh it off because political
agitations and protests are the way we do things in this country.
