More than 400 Indian-origin students, researchers, academics and alumni affiliated with universities across 27 countries have signed a statement titled “Spare India From Anarchy”, warning against what they describe as attempts to undermine Indian democracy through disruptive protests. Signatories linked to institutions including MIT, Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard and Stanford urged political and social groups to pursue grievances through constitutional methods, dialogue and democratic protest. Though the statement names no specific protest or organisation, it comes amid demonstrations against the Election Commission’s Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. The signatories cited BR Ambedkar’s warning against abandoning constitutional methods, while opposition parties allege irregularities in the voter-revision exercise. (PC: ANI)
