But it's true because I have seen it in action and spoke to real people benefiting from it. I volunteered for 5th Pillar from 2007 to around 2014 or so. It mostly works because more often the police don't prefer to mess with anyone who might be associated with any group (political party or activist or religious or anything else). You would even see cars often hoisting a flag from a political party or some organization. Some people wear dress (dhoti) that are lined with their party's flag to indicate that they are affiliated with that political party. The police (especially the traffic cops on the roads) have enough problems and want to prey on only the weakest ones, hence better not to mess with someone who could potentially fight back, bring some media attention and worse, transfer them to a remote place.
