But this is also a good time to ask “#WhereisMugilan” . @Red_Pastures asks some important questions about the silence and apathy that has gone hand in hand. You can read the entire essay here thepolisproject.com/where-is-mugil…
I remember reading an interview of Prof. GN Saibaba, where he said his favourite author was Ngugi Wa Thiong'o whom he met at a seminar.
After one of many raids in his house, his wife said, "When the police returned the photos, those of Sai with Ngugi weren't there," she says. "They probably thought Ngugi's a Maoist," jokes Saibaba. The loss of the three hard discs is less funny.
One had personal photos; another video of protests; the third three manuscripts he's been working on." (Times of India 2013)
Two year ago in 2017 GN Saibaba was "sentenced to life ".

Authorities in Tamil Nadu must take all measures necessary to investigate the fate and whereabouts of environmental activist S Mugilan, who has been missing since 15 February. #Mugilan amnesty.org.in/news-update/ta… 
From protesting against polluting factories to exposing illegal sand mining cartels, #Mugilan always fought fearlessly for justice in Tamil Nadu. His disappearance raises worrying questions about his safety. TN government must ensure that they do everything possible to find him.
On 15 February, #Mugilan held a press conference in Chennai in which he accused senior Tamil Nadu police officials of colluding with officials of Sterlite Industries to orchestrate violence in Thotthukudi during protests in May 2018 against a copper plant operated by Sterlite.
