Somini Sepoy is quickly moving to spin the backlash against these attacks as an elitist reaction.
As I've said before, if this had been a similar reaction in Latin America, the NYT would be praising the uppercrust Catholic right-wing while attacking the socialists.

Attack the british, London, Kokatta - in that order, Somini Sepoy would forget about the Class Warfare.
Vir Sanghvi’s essay, cited by Somini Sepoy is: Let’s recall the lessons from the Emergency, in Mint:
“....... We all know the rest of the story. The poor rose up against the Congress which suffered its first defeat in history and both Indira and thug-like son lost their own seats. The middle class quickly changed sides, decided that democracy was what made India great after all and embraced the new Janata regime (for two years, till Mrs Gandhi and the Neanderthal returned to power…).
I mention all this history to refresh your memory because in the aftermath of the 26/11 attacks I am beginning to hear the same kind of middle-class murmurs and whines about the ineffectual nature of democracy and the need for authoritarian government. .....”
There is a form of misconduct among scientists for increasing the citation impact of their publications: mutual citation, and self-citation. I do think whether Somini Sepoy's citing Vir Sanghvi is similar.
