No comments on When JNU students showed Manmohan Singh black flags: How a 2005 protest tested the right to dissent
A woman at Delhi’s 16 October 2026 Tiranga March recalled joining anti-corruption protests before the BJP came to power and questioned today’s detentions. Records show police crackdowns under both governments, while the 2026 arrests and women’s justice protests raise fresh questions about necessary limits on peaceful dissent.
In a 21 July reel, a speaker at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar condemned police force against demonstrators and questioned India’s democratic accountability. The remarks followed reported clashes over NEET exam irregularities and raise a concrete question: when do public-order controls cross into unjust suppression of peaceful dissent?

As CJP protesters challenge Gyanesh Kumar over voter-roll revisions, a reel contrasts today’s detentions with Vajpayee’s bullock-cart protest and dissent under earlier prime ministers.

In a 23 July reel from the Jantar Mantar protests, educator Jayesh Prakash says his politics are whatever protects his students, criticises national-media framing and alleges violence against protesters. Independent reporting confirms a major student mobilisation, contested police action and a public dispute over unproven foreign-funding claims; later judicial scrutiny covers allegations against both police…
A June 2026 reel shows a young woman identifying herself as Muskan telling a reporter that media questioning can change with a person’s religious identity, then declaring the media “sold” and invoking Raghav Chadha to applause. Reporting supports the CJP-led NEET-protest context and Chadha’s recent AAP-to-BJP switch, but the clip does not prove systemic religious…
Shubhankar Mishra’s 20 July reel captured a real but time-bound criticism: at that point no direct public Modi response to the NEET-UG 2026 protest had been identified. Modi addressed the issue the next day inside the NDA parliamentary meeting and publicly announced fast-track courts on 23 July; Pradhan resigned on 25 July, an exam-reform task…
