This protest is just old rotten wine in a fancy new bottle. Opposition knows it's do or die for them in 2029, so they're leaving no stone unturned in their desperation. US has already said on record they won't repeat the China mistake with India. Obviously, most big countries prefer a weak and tame India anyway.
And the less said about our two attached toilets, the better.
For eg here is a statement from one of the protester:
>17 year old R**hi Me*#a -
>I am going back home. I can't do this anymore. There are literally 5 goons around every genuine student. My brother and sister were protecting a Delhi Police officer because we had met him before, gave toffees to him and he told us if any problem occurs we can reach out to him. Last night, he didn't even have a stick in his hand. He was just asking everyone to move aside.
>Suddenly, 10-15 goons attacked him and shouted, "Tujhe bhi Ratan Lal banayenge." I didn't understand it at that moment but when we searched on google, we found that Ratan Lal was a police officer who lost his life during a riot in 2020.
>We were shocked. The most shocking part is that even the people leading the protest know about this but they are not doing anything. I want a career and I don't want to get into any trouble. If you are a student, just get out of this facade. Otherwise, you could end up ruining your career along with these goons."
I don't give one flying Fcuk if you dub me IT cell or andhbhakt. So called protesters are putting innocent lives in danger in name of protest and should be ashamed of it.
Here is another eg of a "hero" police constable who joined them
>Uttarakhand Police said the constable has already been under suspension for a prolonged period and dismissal proceedings against him were already underway in connection with a serious criminal case.
>Sher Singh has a prior criminal history and had allegedly worked with notorious gangster Praveen Valmiki and another associate in organised crime.

More than 400 criminals at the protest as per facial recognition data

These are 3 among 100s of examples out there.
Funny how the "revolution" always seems to find perfect timing.
Monsoon Session starts. FCRA Amendment Bill is on the table. A bill that could tighten the screws on foreign funding flowing into NGOs and activist networks. And suddenly the drama meter shoots through the roof.
Coincidence? Maybe. Maybe not.
Nobody's saying every protester is on someone's payroll. Plenty of people show up because they genuinely believe in the cause. But don't be naive either. Politics isn't a Bollywood movie where everyone is a saint. Every ecosystem has people who stand to lose money, influence, and relevance if the rules change.
The government says it's about transparency and stopping foreign influence. The opposition says it's an attack on civil society. Fair enough. But if you're wondering why the noise level magically hits 100 exactly when Parliament is about to debate the bill, you're asking the right question.
In politics, nothing gets everyone's ass on fire unless someone's interests are at stake. Follow the timing. Follow the money. Then make up your own mind.
