Here is a short bio of this "dangerous criminal", an IIT Kanpur '84 batch alumna ---> Sudha was born in Boston, an American citizen, and lived in the United States and United Kingdom as a child. Sudha's mother, Krishna Bharadwaj, was a well known academic and economist, who had founded the Centre for Economics Studies and Planning at Jawaharlal Nehru University. At age 11, she moved with her mother to Delhi, gave up her US citizenship at the age of 18, and joined the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kanpur, to study mathematics, completing the five-year integrated course in 1984.
At IIT Kanpur she joined NSS, teaching in the caste-ridden rural neighborhood. Having been exposed to horrific working conditions of laborers in Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal and Bihar during her time as a student at IIT, she moved to work with Niyogi’s Chhattisgarh Mukti Morcha in 1986. After finishing the program at IITK in 1984, she taught at DPS, for a couple of years in Delhi.
While being associated with Chhattisgarh Mukti Morcha, Bharadwaj fought passionately against corrupt bureaucrats to ensure proper wages were paid to the workers in the mines and plants located in Bhilai. She also engaged in issues of Dalit and tribal rights, specifically the right for land, the right for education, for health and for security against corrupt landlords. Sudha also wrote a critique of Binayak Sen's imprisonment critiquing the judicial decision and condemning it strongly.
Determined to provide holistic development of the workers, Sudha got her law degree in 2000 from a college affiliated to the Pandit Ravishankar Shukla University in Raipur.

@surajs5913 Ignoring the juvenile outburst, it is myopic to view the French Revolution as something that happened for a short period of few years - this revolution was a Process. French revolution was a chaotic, bottom-up revolution like any other. The point is that it paved the way for politically more stable structures to emerge after dismantling something that was centuries old. That itself was a feat as you yourself seem to acknowledge. Napoleon was a temporary aberration, inevitable as a consequence of the revolution being a bottom-up, decentralized event. There is nothing special about his reign or him. He came with an expiration date, an 'organizing' job got done and he went way - the exact events of How his reign played out is unimportant, end result would have been the same, give or take a few years or decade. The Process continued, culminating in what you see today or in the last century - large driven by ethos of the French Character sowed during the French revolution.. Now, if you have something meaningful to say that will further the arguments then please do, else don't bother.
