Over a decade ago a friend filed papers to contest for Tamil Nadu legislative assembly. The filing was rejected and was not allowed to contest.
Reason. My friend refused to sign a statement agreeing to uphold the unity and territorial integrity of India.
My friend would not sign such a statement because the very purpose of contesting was to show the world that there is major support for Tamil Nadu independence.
Canada is a democracy. The party that wants independence for Quebec was allowed to contest election. India is not a democracy because parties and people who want independence for a state are not allowed to contest elections.
