Lathis, tear gas, and even pellet guns did not stop them. On July 23, three days after thousands of people, mostly students, were targeted by security forces, many of them returned yet again to Jantar Mantar, New Delhi’s designated protest site, demanding the resignation of the Union Minister of Education, Dharmendra Pradhan.
