Characteristics of a Police State

Characteristics of a Police State
  • People I will say that the most important characteristics of a police state is that they will watch where you are going.
  • After watching where you are going they will watch what you are doing, eating, where you are staying and then they will try to influence you.
  • They will try to prevent you from doing something or they will make you do ssomething which you do not want and hence it would be like a "forced thing"
  • You are left with no choice but to do that thing which they want.
  • Police state does not come about on its own.
  • People will try to follow you and will watch you.
  • Then they will try to influence you.
  • If you are not influenced they will force you.
I can look into my past and try to find about it.
  • From June 2002 till May 2003 I had gone to Chennai to prepare for CA Coaching.
  • When it did not work out I left CA course after may examinations and went for MBA.
  • Now what happened, I used to stay withing 2-3kms radius.
  • Areas where I stayed was Ice House, Triplicane, Royapettah, near Anna Road, near MAC stadium.
  • Now what will happen that these lodge owners or hostel owners are duty bound to report the people staying to nearby Police Station.
  • Now if you stay for a night or two it would hardly make a difference like if you were proceeding to Bangalore or Madurai or Ooty after overnight stay.
  • But if you stay for longer duration and change places like if you don't like a place you move to another.
  • I myself must have stayed at at least 10-12 places in that area.
  • If you do like that then your ID will prop up at the police station very often and then you will be a marked person.
  • Whether you want it or not that is the reality.
  • It is like that song of Dave Matthews band "Where are you going"
  • That is not a good expression. It means that you are being tracked.
  • You feel you are escaping. You feel you are going somewhere new. But no the "hungry eyes" will follow you.
  • And that is the characteristic of the police state.
  • If you move and they track your movement it is a police state.
  • In a situation like that you may feel safety in your home however small it may be.
  • If your home does not give the safety and still you are being watched, you may require to go to a place where there are more people like you.
  • Megacities of our country are the place where in 10 or 20 million people you are like a spec of dust and it hardly makes a difference what you do.
  • And if you have a 'home' to call your own there is very less likely that someone will track you like when you stay in hotels or hostels.
Now what is happening under BJP, they told that there will be less of Government and more of Governance.
  • But fact is that by linking everything to Aadhar they are the ultimate defination of a police state.
  • It is more of Government and less of Governance as they are ultimately engaged in Going after hapless citizens. 
  • They are after what you are doing and how much you are earning and they dictate what you can do and cannot do.
  • They have gone beyond the police state and something more dystopian.
  • They are dictating what we can eat and whom we pray and how we shit and where we shit.
  • They want to price railway tickets beyond a common man reach so he cannot travel. 
  • He will be limited to few areas while they the leaders roam around in jets and helicopters.
  • Further they want "One nation, One election" to further solidify their rule.
  • So no one can challenge them.
  • They will rule unchallenged and hapless citizens will suffer.
  • It is truly a nightmare the way things are going in India.
