That narrative is familiar. However, we do not know enough about princely states and what's going there, partly because they are not seen central to the national movement."

Police today opposed in the Kerala High Court the plea of Malayalam actor Dileep, an accused in an actress assault case, that a copy of visual evidence of the alleged sexual attack on her by a gang be handed over to him. Opposing the plea, police argued that there was a likelihood of the visuals of the criminal act being misused if they were given to him. The prosecution alleged that copy of the application by Dileep seeking visuals was leaked to media prior to filing it before the court and the same thing will happen if visuals are given to the actor. If the copy of visuals were given to him, the victim will have to face the trauma in her entire life, police contended. Justice Sunil Thomas posted the case for Wednesday for further hearing. In his plea, Dileep submitted that he was denied the rights of a defendant by a trial court in Angamaly. The Angamaly Judicial First Class Magistrate's court had dismissed a plea by Dileep seeking copies of visuals of the alleged sexual assault ...
