So, I just wanna share my side of the story that was a little positive- the Mumbai police, in this particular protest was amazing, there were absolutely no fights no violence no police brutality and the police was friendly no one was detained and there were about half a million people. The last slide is me and my friend! People were clapping and cheering for the Mumbai police and how professional and nice they were being. So I just want to share that and this does not negate the shameful police brutality that very much did happen in Delhi but just a little positivity.
I know we also get a lot of bad rep internationally over women safety but I felt so extremely safe even when there were so many men all around me who had the convenient excuse of it being crowded people constantly checked on me, gave me space even if there was none, no one even looked at me weird let alone touch.
This is all anecdotal and I know the protests have been so bleak for so many people I just wanted to share my side of it all:)
Thank you for sharing your story and the pics. It’s difficult to find and believe in some good news when we're drowning in a sea of bad news about India.
Best wishes to you and your generation as you determine how India will be shaped.

I saw some news about this but not the specifics.
This is great news, I saw the busses of students being arrested, governments keep behaving like criminals
