Peaceful protest is supposed to be the backbone of democracy. But at Delhi’s Ramleela Maidan, SSC students and teachers faced lathis instead of listening, detentions instead of dialogue, and fear instead of freedom. If this isn’t a dictatorship, what else can we call it?
1. Peaceful Protest, Brutal Response
students and teachers gathered with nothing but placards and their voices. Instead of hearing their grievances, delhi police chose batons, boots, and brute force.
2. media Muzzled: Democracy in Darkness
When police snatched cameras, mics, and even detained the Lallantop reporting team, the message was loud and clear: “We don’t want the world to see our shame.” A free press silenced is a democracy strangled.
3. students Bleeding, Rapists Garlanded
The government’s priority is crystal clear—attack the youth demanding jobs, but felicitate criminals with flowers. Is this justice or a mockery of it?
4. Crushing Voices with Force
Heavily deployed forces turned Ramleela Maidan into a war zone against its own children. Instead of protecting the youth, the state is preparing them for trauma.
5. The Future Looks Bleak
What does it say about a nation where students are beaten for asking questions? Where are education seekers treated as criminals? The answer: the future of this country is being crushed with every lathi.
The Bottom Line
india doesn’t need a dictatorship wrapped in democracy. india needs accountability, justice, and leaders who value books over batons. Until then, every lathi charge is another nail in the coffin of freedom.
