In an inspiring week in Indian Olympics history, when the country won its first track-and-field gold, when both our hockey teams uplifted our hearts, and when we got medals in hockey, weightlifting, boxing, wrestling and badminton, life went on in the country as if we were in the dark ages. During moments that did India proud, especially given how poor we have been in Olympics, many of our lingering carceral mentalities resurfaced as if they were on tap: one dialled X toll-free number and got back to Muslim-baiting; one pressed Y button and casteism got home delivered.
