What does it cost a nun to speak out against a powerful bishop?

I went to protest at IITB as a journalist from @TheAmbedkarian yet even after showing camera and mic, I was illegally detained among other protestors. I was reporting from afar but the police—in pulling us by our hair, clothes, arms—had torn the poster of Babasaheb. Atrocious.

These are the young reporters being made to do the dirty work. And tomorrow, when one of them is stopped or questioned on the street, the very people who haven’t said a SINGLE WORD against the police detaining journalists will suddenly lament the threats journalists face.

It began at 9 pm from Barak Hostel and moved towards Ganga Dhaba.
