The earlier emergency in India in 1975 which reverted back to democracy in 1977 was imposed by a political party which was the Indian National Congress. The present undeclared emergency in India since 2019 was imposed by corporate industrialists and businessmen who operate through a Hindu political party which is the Bharatiya Janata Party. Therefore, the reverting back to democracy won’t be as easy as earlier but it sure is possible. Let us assume that no corporate company in India is or was as rich, powerful, influential and universally spread as Union Carbide was. When the Bhopal genocide happened, government practically did nothing against this company but the ordinary people of India, prompted of cource by the intellectually independent and the impartial in India, decided to boycott their Eveready batteries which were simply the best in India. Soon the boycott turned to their other products including even torches. Soon there was no one to buy Union Carbide products in India in spite of the government of India firmly standing behind this company.

Because their products remained unsold in stores, the owners of these stores told the company’s sales vans that they could not stock anymore and this happened throughout India- in every city, town and village. In some places angry people even pulled the stock out of stores and burned them as a protest against Union Carbide. Union Carbide finally collapsed and became quite willing to come to terms with people in spite of the government compelling them not to succumb to people. This situation is now to repeat in India. People today understand well that the pro-Hinduist Reliance Industries is behind the suppression of people’s rights in India as they are the sole beneficiaries to almost all financial regulations the government brings about affecting the lives of the common people of India. Also almost all government contracts in petroleum, communications, railways and defense go to them. People need no more evidence.

If the people of India decide to boycott every Reliance product including their grocery and vegetable stores, petrol and diesel, and their communication network Geo, will this corporate survive with only BJP members and sympathizers buying their products? There are many ways for people to bring down corporate companies if and when they decide to take action. And it is an answer the corporate companies understand well, that if they want to rule they can rule but they cannot sell, forcing them to pull out of tacit arrangements behind government against people. People also know that their corporate empire exists out of huge bank loans. So, they want to sell, not rule, anyway.
