The faces of Mumbai’s student protests

On July 22, thousands of young Mumbaikars poured onto the streets in support of the student movement led by the Cockroach Janta Party. Many arrived simply intending to march. A few left as the defining faces of the protest.
One stepped in front of a police van and refused to move. Another quietly switched on his phone as a constable allegedly threatened detained protesters with a fabricated narcotics case. A theatre artist stayed inside a police station after she had been allowed to leave, insisting that every detained woman be released first. A law student followed a police van through traffic, reached for its rear latch and opened the door.
