This is a video of Indian police in the state of Uttar Pradesh attacking unarmed unemployed youth protesting for jobs. It resonates so strongly with police attacks on Black civil rights protesters in the 1960s & with police attacks on protesters now all over the world, especially against the Arab Spring uprisings of 2011 & the anti-austerity protests from Europe to Latin America. It’s part of glorifying militarism & the militarization of police. The right to protest without fear of violence is a human & democratic right that we must be fearless in defending. It should be added that this is what Kashmiris have sustained on a daily basis for decades & what will exponentially increase in India if the colonial occupation of Kashmir is not defeated.
