We were promised minimum government, maximum governance. But things are disconcertingly moving in the other direction. From what to eat, to what to drink, from what to wear, to what movie to watch not to mention who do we love and how. This ridiculous playing of the national anthem in theaters and forcing you to stand up, to 'aadhar' being rammed down the throat of even small children, the heavy hand of the state is getting heavier by the day. I think it would be a mistake to call it a mischief of the nanny state, rather, it's the arrogance of the 'mother-in-law' state. Unappealing, unreasonable and bloody control freak, like most of the Indian mothers-in-law, tend to be.
