We The People | Indian State: Intolerant Of Dissent?

It has been a dramatic week with the youth of the country rising up against the new citizenship law passed by the government and against police brutality against students in an act of solidarity that has shaken the country's politics. After a violent police crackdown on protests in and around Jamia Millia University in Delhi on December 15, college after college have taken to the streets or held demonstrations condemning the force that was used against the protesting youth. This last week we have seen young India rage and engage leading to larger protests where ordinary citizens, students, writers, activists, artists, opposition parties and film stars have showed their anger against a law that is being viewed as communal and has been challenged in the Supreme court.
