130 million voters were removed from the voting lists across India, following an exercise by the Election Commission of India called the Special Intensive Revision (SIR). Protests sparked across India and the diaspora, demanding accountability and resignation of the Chief Election Commissioner. Protestors in Vancouver called the SIR a “threat to Indian democracy.”

Don't forget when successful democratic revolutions happen, it tends to snowball all over because it shows it's possible to win

Shit looks bleak now all over, but that's when people motivated to fix shit too.

Why are you protesting in our city? I'm assuming they're not being obstructive but it seems kind of pointless to be protesting in/as diaspora.
