Some of my favourite posters from the CJP protest :

This is a reminder to all of you to NOT LOSE HOPE. A fascist regime has always met its end, time and time again. History has proven that dictatorships never last. This will be no different. Keep the fire in you burning, keep your mind about you, be empathetic, be just, and above all, be humane. That is the difference between them and us. The rest will fall in line. This too shall pass.

I apologize for making a non-BTS post, but my heart aches over what happened to the students, children, parents, and everyone who stood in support of the protest in Delhi yesterday.

I am incredibly proud of those who came together and raised their voices... not only in Delhi, but in every corner of the country.

I am also proud of those who continue to speak up online, spread awareness, and refuse to stay silent under the excuse that they "don't want to get involved in politics."

And to those saying, "If this were a dictatorship, you wouldn't be able to post about it online," I am tired of hearing that argument. If people are being beaten for demanding their rights, what would you call that?

Is the spread of false narratives through paid media not a concern? Is the deployment of RAF personnel without visible name tags while on duty not something worth questioning? This is not the democracy I was taught about in school.

I know many of you here may not be Indian, but I felt it was important to share this so more people understand what is happening in my country.

Asking for a better education system is not a crime. Demanding accountability for paper leaks in national-level competitive examinations is not a crime. Yet students and their supporters were treated as though they were terrorists.

They deserved to be heard, not silenced.

Out of everything, the boys and men at the protest have restored my hope in good men bhai😭

Like I've seen so many comments and reels of women protesting about how boys and men were taking the beating for the women, kids and even others, how they made every girl feel safe, how they just made girls protesting like they were just one of them. Our generation restored my hope🥹🥹

And shout out to the trans community as well for standing up, y'all are the OG!

peaceful protests only work in a healthy democracy.

It's heartbreaking to think that so many people stepped out hoping their voices would matter, only to end up getting hurt. Behind every protest is a person with dreams, a family waiting for them at home, and a reason they felt they couldn't stay silent anymore. No one deserves to pay that price just for asking to be heard.

TIPS FOR POLICE ABUSE AT THE JANTAR MANTAR PROTEST

first and foremost, if you are going to the protest site please make sure your body is well covered. i know it's burning hot but cover your body as well as you can. protect your eyes very well. tear gas is being thrown at the crowd recklessly and that shit hurts. protect yourself before protecting others.

the police is, evidently, using firearms and other weapons to physically assault the protestors. remember your ears can deceive you. if you hear shots being fired, or you can hear people being beaten up, try to confirm where the noises are coming from before taking action. they will usually find the largest/most active group to aim at.

do not try to run in a zig zag pattern. remember, this isnt just 1 or 2 cops. it's a whole army of them. they will fire aimlessly, and you can still get fatally injured. you ideally want to sprint from positions of cover.

understand the difference between cover and concealment. concealment will hide you from the police. cover will momentarily protect you from them. if you can find a place of concealment, thats the best. run into a nearby shop, blend into a crowd of people, etc.

positions of cover are places that will allow you some time before you have to run again. taking sharp turns into alleys, hiding behind or under a vehicle, etc. this allows you to think for a moment and plan your next move.

remember this is NOT a movie. hiding behind a car is, once again, momentary. if they fire at you, the bullet will pass through the car door and hit you. move as quick as you can, but move smartly.

stay angry. stay strong. stay safe 🫶🏻

Does anyone know how we can contribute to these protests going on over the NEET exam? Except, uk, attending it, because I literally just don't have the option of taking days off in this internship. And obviously there are thousands more lyk me

Apart from sharing it and spreading the word, do u guys have any ideas about how we can help?
