Quotes
Ishaan Deor
Teacher from Nashik who was detained during the protest
“I had two more days left in Delhi and am also not working right now. So, it felt I was in a much better position than most to participate in the march. A march to Parliament felt more meaningful than a protest at Jantar Mantar, so I decided to join.”
