Thread 1/9
BATTLE OF THE FRINGE ! For long if there was one thing that remained undemocratic in India it was PRIVILEGE. A preserve of few who constituted a #FRINGE that made rules for the billion other. That Fringe seems rattled hence battling & battling hard

2/9 Political fringe is angry. Family pedigree no longer matters & rank upstarts are reaching highest. #Politics has become about boring policy & all that fun about election tourism, headgear & tribal dance seems so distant

3/9 Bureaucratic fringe is angry. Queens English, JNU & Das Kapital are no longer qualifiers for the rusted frame. Keats & Shelly are not appreciated & suddenly accountability is not about juggling accounts & lateral entrants threaten to sully the Sunday club

4/9 Judicial fringe is angry. After all they are the last of the "Pure Race". Politicians are elected, bureaucrats are selected, but only sons & "people like us" must be co-opted into M'Lords collegium. Nilkamal chairs in walnut paneled chambers? Sacrilege!

5/9 The #media fringe is angry. No more junkets, access, patrakar colony bungalows,press passes, DAVP largesse or RS seats..Plus the devil of "technology" disrupting the sole privilege to disseminate news.. neighborhood Tikotokia is now competition
