Ground protest, sometimes seem to be the only panacea to outright fundamental right violations in India. Expressing outrage against the ghastly Kolkata rape and murder case, men and women, especially women in large numbers hit the streets in Kolkata on the eve of the Independence Day, 2024. While the protests were initially planned to happen in college street and academy areas of Kolkata, it spread across the nation as many other cities stepped in to reclaim the night and highlight the safety issues that women still face in our country. However a small group of people also entered into the RG Kar Medical Hospital and college, vandalizing the hospital property and attracting attention in the news for its violent nature, taking away some of the attention from the otherwise well meaning and very impactful protests on ground.
