Why are protests met with state violence? A farmer as killed due to punjab police beatings yesterday. 670 farmers lost thei lives protesting against farm bills. the women wrestlers who protested against their sexual harasment by Bribhushan and state's inaction on it were treated brutally. Students and activists who protest get beaten.

When will Indian govts drop their British Raj habit of treating protestors as enemies of the state ?
