"..The moral stamina of any society will rarely be tested in its history. The “emergency” declared in India was one such instance, said Mr. Civic in his speech. Such instances happen when the democratic systems become weak or fail to perform. It is those people whom we made victims who hold safe the democracy in this country together. This is evident from the struggles of Dalits, Adivasis, women and farmers. When others fail the future hold the involvement of the victimized. This is what we term the politics of the victims. .." - Civic Chandran
