One day, in a certain school, a notification was issued.
"ALL STUDENTS WILL MANDATORILY SHAVE THEIR HEADS AND WEAR BANDANAS WITH A SWASTIKA ON IT IN THE SCHOOL PREMISES."
Students and parents were like WTF just happened?
A delegation of parents tried to talk to the administration, telling them that it's unfair and they just cannot make such rules without consulting anyone.
The admin was like, "Oh it's alright we can discuss this."
"Discuss what," asked the parents.
Administration was like, "We can discuss the length of hair, the color of the bandana, when students have to wear it etc. We're damn flexible!"
"But that's not the point! We want this whole notification to be scrapped. It's complete bullocks!"
Admin:
Parents and students start protesting. The admin keeps screaming, "BUT WE ARE READY TO DISCUSS THIS! Let's do talks no!"
Protestors are like, "But we don't want this!"
Stalemate.
The admin guys issue another rule, "BARBERS WILL BE AVAILABLE ON SCHOOL PREMISES & BANDANAS WIL BE SOLD AS WELL."
Protests intensify.
Then admin comes out and says, "You people are being misled by the long-hair lobby. Some amongst you don't like grooming themselves."
"Long hair lobby?" scream the protestors. "What nonsense is this?"
"Oh yeah. We saw some long-haired bearded people here. They are being funded by foreign hair-gel companies," says the admin.
Protestors scream back: "DAFAQ ARE YOU PEOPLE SMOKING? Scrap the notification da!"
Admin: "We think you don't understand the notification. It's alright. Let us explain it to you noobs."
Protestors: "WE UNDERSTAND IT PERFECTLY!"
Admin: "OK OK, what if we remove the Swastika? We're very flexible, you see."
Protestors: "DUDES. WE DONT WANT THIS ENTIRE THING!"
Protestors continue protesting.
Admin then brings forward some students -- sons and daughters of the staff -- who are shaved and wearing bandanas.
"See! They look so good! It's for your own benefit! Just look at these magnificent samples," says the admin.
Protestors:
(That's where it's stuck. I'll keep a watch on the developments in this imaginary school. Any resemblance to real world events is the fault of your imagination and desperate pattern seeking abilities. Cheers!)

Arnab is that babysitter who is hired when going to restaurants.
Whenever the child citizens start asking annoying questions to the adult government fam, they scream, "YOU HAD ONE JOB ARNAB! TAKE CARE OF THE KIDS!?!"
Then Arnab takes the kids to slide down the slide of bigotry.
After the kids are bored of the slide of bigotry, he'll make them get on the ideological see-saw.
After that, comes the sandpit of conspiracies where kids can make up their own fun theories.
Meanwhile, the adult govt fam are coming up with important plans like electoral bonds.
Every once in a while, Arnab will amuse the kids by telling em horror stories about how the children in this OTHER restaurant are absolute bullies, ugly and scary.
He tells them how the adult govt fam will take care of those horrible children & teach em a lesson.
First, the Police showed up at his house to arrest him. They said @tweets_prateekg has 'cunningly' used Sakal's logo.
Next, after Prateek got anticipatory bail, they are trying to seize his laptop. They refuse to show him the order and say "verbal" order is enough to do so.
When @tweets_prateekg went to complete legal formalities, the SHO said, "You think you can damage Sakal? Sakal can buy 50 reporters like you. They are too big and you aren’t even a journalist. You don’t have a press like Sakal. What is Newslaundry, it is just an online thing.”
- Dalit woman is gangraped by upper caste men, begs for justice and dies
- Police refuse to accept it as a rape case
- Police burn woman's body in dead of the night without consent of family.
- Media stopped from talking to the family
- Videos emerge of DM threatening family to change their statement
- Entire village put in lockdown
- Elected MPs prevented from meeting family and roughed up by the police
- Highways blocked to prevent entry to the village
- Rally is held by upper caste people in support of the rapists
- Police allow this event to happen despite section 144
- Private phone call between journalist & victim's brother is recorded & leaked to a propaganda blog.
And it doesn't seem like it's ending anytime soon.
