Action against Justice Karnan while looking the other way when four senior judges of the Supreme Court addressed a press conference, an odd recruitment policy of the UGC and finally the apex court's intervention in the 'Atrocities Act' have turned Dalits livid. A grim employment scenario is aggravating the situation. And government's poor communication skills aren't helping the matter. What is needed now is not judicial activism by overzealous high priests of the judiciary with zero political accountability but political statesmanship by the executive and the legislature.
