The announcement of the President’s Police Medal for Gallantry for Ankit Garg, the SP of Dantewada is a reflection of the sad state of the Indian Republic as it celebrates its 63rd Republic Day.

Here is the full text of a statement by concerned groups and individuals on this shocking news and also the full text of the letter by Sori to her lawyer.
