What Sleeping Guardians documents
The Automated Watchmen
How automated systems in public infrastructure were deployed with no constitutional accountability — watching everything, answerable to nothing. Systems that counted but did not act.
The Decade of Lost Justice
2015 to 2025 — ten years in which citizens submitted complaints, filed cases, and presented evidence, while institutions processed, archived, and lost. The chronicle of non-action at national scale.
The Supreme Court Record
The evidence culminated in W.P.(Crl.) 394/2025 and W.P.(Crl.) 163/2026 — submissions to the Supreme Court of India that became the definitive record of sleeping institutional guardianship. See: Supreme Court Record ?
