India's hypocrisy on human rights?

A series of articles debate the Indian State's hypocrisy on human rights, in the context of China's peace activist winning the Nobel.

Many believe that India went ahead to endorse the Nobel peace prize, only to "prove" she is not afraid of China, than to stand up to the spirit of recognizing and encouraging dissent.

Here is a piece in the Economic Times, analyzing what would New Delhi do, if Irom Sarmila were to be awarded the prize. Irom, the poet activist from Manipur has been on hunger strike for a decade.

Another article speaks for Arundhati Roy winning the prize. How would the State react, if Roy, given her stance on Naxals and Kashmir has upset the establishment.

It can be countless others in the country who silently protest human rights abuses in the so-called democracy that India is, how will the State react to the recognition of these struggles?
