The Unyielding Spirit of India's Student Protests The protests in New Delhi are a stark reminder that even in the face of brutal force, the desire for justice and accountability can prove to be a potent catalyst for change.
Despite the authorities' best efforts to suppress them, the student protests show no signs of abating. The government's heavy handed response has only served to galvanize public opinion behind the protesters.
The images of police brutality and the aftermath of Monday's crackdown on Parliament Street make clear that the Indian state is determined to crush dissent at any cost.
