Corruption Fight and Language of Indian State: A Tale of the Indian Public Sphere
Abstract
The fight against corruption has become an intrinsic aspect of Indian landscape. The movement remains more or less unorganised. Therefore, there is engagement of numerous individuals representing various ideological standpoints. One of the actors, who is a professional yoga practitioner and ideologically right winger, received initially warm welcome by Indian State. Due to failure of accord between the two, the state oppression unleashed against him. The kinds of language used by the Indian Government and ruling party against him would eventually strengthen the right wing tendencies in place of countering it in India.
Key words: Non-state actor; State actors; Misconstrual of politics; Patriarchal nuances; Public sphere
