Is Hindi the national language of India? if or if not, can some one quote relevant section of Indian Penal Code to back their claim?
The one who raised the question had definitely passed high-school and perhaps, was on the verge of securing a bachelors degree, if not he already had one. With the state of knowledge on the 'State' of an average person, identified as an educated, it wouldn't be fair to expect public support to a Judicial activist.
But, it has been, in history, a consistent mistake by those who (atleast think that they)belong to the Upper house of the parliamentary democracy, to expect the general public to be aligned with their lines of rationalism. So said, as a rule of thumb, there has always been some amongst the members of the upper house, who have a large public support, and vice-versa, and they are those who bring an apparent togetherness to democracy.
So, instead of the unparalleled(?) gathering of the urban youth, the IAC managed to achieve and thereby pulling media support to paralyse just the head (I should just say Hat), had they directed a mission 'Bombard with RTI', filing hundereds of RTI petitions in each office, right from a Village Panchayat to the Collectorate to the Secratariat, they could have paralysed the entire State of India without the help of the media. It is not a very unreasonable ask, for there have been buyers for a mockery of a missed call campaign, and facebook activism, there would definitely have been at least a 100, for every pincode all over India, for this. As Sri Navamani Murugan (former IAS) said, even with 10 Cabinet dissolutions in as many years, the state can continue to function efficiently, IF the administration stays unaffected.
If you can gather just 100 people, with the cost of buying 100 candles, you can very well strip your local EB fellow and choke him to get your local transformer put to order.
There is a Upper house in everybody.

The fact that you thought the link was worth commenting about has brought your intellectual levels down.
actly saw a prolonged arguement on twitter, but this was the 'in-place' piece, close to that, that I could point to :P
