CAA protests spread across nation
| | | | | | | Away from Twitter’s troll brigade, boomer-infested Facebook, fake-news-WhatsApp and an often unsympathetic national media, young Indians have used Instagram for much more than simply bringing attention to the police brutality that occurred at Jamia and AMU on Sunday. They’ve gone well beyond it, adapting material about the CAA and NRC for the ’gram, churning out guides for physical and mental safety while protesting, coordinating everything from therapy to housing for displaced students through the platform. Seamlessly folding the political parts of their lives into the personal archives they maintain online.
When scores of Jamia students found themselves either evicted from their hostels or just too scared to stay on campus, Sweta Dey, a BEd student at the university, started putting out her phone number on social media platforms, organising housing for her fellow students. |
