 State Brutality at Jantar Mantar: Quotes and Inspired Quintet

QUOTES ON STATE BRUTALITY

Mahatma Gandhi: "An unjust law / Act is itself a species of violence."

Hannah Arendt: "Violence appears where power is in jeopardy, but left to its own course it ends in power's disappearance".

George Orwell: "The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power".

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn: "Violence can only be concealed by a lie, and the lie can only be maintained by violence"

Max Stirner: "The state calls its own violence law, but that of the individual crime "

Kristian Williams: "It seems paradoxical that an organization responsible for enforcing the law would frequently rely on illegal practices."

Tanzil Chowdhury: “The violence of the imperial project is not a mere historical curiosity, nor did it only take place in a 'distant land'; it shaped and continues to shape the technologies of British state violence today.”

A Inspired Quintet from State Brutality at Jantar Mantar Youth Protest 

A woman stood, with peace in her heart,
Brutal cops  tore her world apart.
A blow to her head,
Inner organs bled,
Then dragged and tossed, a cruel, grim art.
