March 7, 2013

Ok, Shakespeare was a bit more final in his famous quote.  Anyway, political life is lively here in India.  From the Hindustan Times:

Police used water cannons against lawyers of Punjab and Haryana High Court here today as the advocates tried to break barricades while protesting the registration of case against some of their fellow members for allegedly manhandling a cop recently.

The water cannon is a popular tool with authorities here.  Here’s a much-circulated picture:

These protests occurred in the aftermath of the now-infamous bus-rape incident in Delhi.
