Going with the times, the economic discussions turned way more political than usual today. Here is the whole content from Anand's Facebook page. The FB reply to comment policy has created multiple strands within the same thread. So I will try to keep it as clean as possible.

Safdar Hashmi was murdered by Mukesh Sharma, the Congress-backed independent candidate, in broad daylight in 1989. The mourning for Hashmi had united the creative community in Delhi and far beyond. "There has been no coming together of this type. A great force of artists, intellectuals and painters has gathered spontaneously." Habib Tanvir said about the the Hulla Bol movement.Some criticisms were expressed at that time that may seem very familiar. In 1989, some argued that the protests were too strongly driven by Leftists. Why had these writers and artists not been as vocal about other atrocities, other deaths, some asked then. But those questions had the same answer as they have today: "because there comes a time when one murder, as senseless and inhumane as all the others, allows you to mourn openly all that you have been mourning silently. Sometimes one loss, no different than the others, lets you acknowledge the many wounds and losses inflicted over time. This is how we have arrived at this moment. Each generation finds its own flashpoint."
