What does the death of a jailed Jesuit priest say about India's democracy under Modi?
Stan Swamy had recently published a study of 3,000 people jailed for being members of banned Maoist groups. He found that 97% of them had no such affiliation and that many of their trials were held without lawyers, in a language they didn't understand. He'd filed a case on their behalf in the state court of Jharkhand, where he lived. All of this had embarrassed the government, he said.

Lots of excellent points in this piece, including:
"The UAPA has [...] become the judicial version of the encounter — where the suspension of the normal meaning of the rule of law is itself seen as a kind of justice."
