American, Australian vloggers living in India explain their silence over CJP protests: ‘I can’t comment’

On July 18, the award-winning Indian activist Sonam Wangchuk was picked up by the Delhi Police and taken to a state-run hospital against his will 20 days into a hunger strike.

On Tuesday, central Delhi still thronged with thousands of protesters, as an unprecedented expression of dissent against the powerful Modi government showed no sign of abating.

As crowds grew over the course of the protest, food delivery riders arrived one after another carrying meals ordered online by people who had never met the demonstrators.

For days the streets and parks in the center of India’s capital have seethed with the biggest demonstrations it has seen in years as young protesters demand change to a national exam system they say cheats millions of them out of a fair chance.
