this protest situation in india is so massive that despite how censored our news media is (bottom 25 in media freedoms worldwide), all my real life well known people know about this mess 🫠
It's sad how little anything in India matters outside. The BBC has more and slightly better coverage of the current protests in India than The Guardian and even Al Jazeera. Al Jazeera at least has R Gandhi's brief detention on their front page. India is irrelevant on the scale of world news.

Ken-Betwa project protest ends abruptly after 15 days as police clear site, hospitalise protesters on hunger strike
A 15-day protest against the Ken-Betwa Link and other development projects in Madhya Pradesh's Chhatarpur district ended on Sunday after police cleared the agitation site and sent protesters back to t...
