The Two Indias and the Politics of Protest

Got this from Frontline - in Delhi, a protest led by Resident Welfare Associations resulted in a rollback of fares imposed by the Delhi government; whereas in Orissa, the cabinet and the legislative assembly fail to take action on the Fishing in Chilika Regulation Bill inspite of regular protests at the local and State level, and the Supreme Court's recognition of the rights of the fisherfolk.

What's going on?
