On April 5, 2025, the Revolutionary Workers Party of India, along with various student organizations, gathered at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi to protest against Israel's actions in Palestine, highlighting the humanitarian crisis and calling for global awareness and action.

Why it matters:

The ongoing conflict in Palestine has resulted in significant loss of life and widespread destruction, particularly in Gaza. The protests in India reflect a growing international concern over the humanitarian implications of the conflict and the perceived inaction of governments worldwide.

The big picture:

As the situation in Palestine escalates, the global community is increasingly divided on how to respond. The protests in India are part of a larger movement advocating for Palestinian rights and drawing attention to the humanitarian crisis in the country.

 

What he's saying:

A spokesperson for the protest stated, "Some youth of India want to protest against Israel's attack on Palestine and tell the world how Israel is oppressing the people of Palestine, due to which thousands of people have been killed including children, old people and women."

 

Key points:

  • The protests were organized by the Revolutionary Workers Party of India and student organizations.
  • Demonstrators emphasized the destruction of Gaza and the lack of governmental support for the Palestinian cause.
  • The event included a laser demonstration symbolizing the call for freedom for Palestine.
  • This movement not only seeks to raise awareness but also aims to pressure governments to take a stand against perceived injustices.
