In the past decade, India has witnessed the rise of street protests among the middle class and the youth. It started in 2011, with the India Against Corruption campaign against large-scale financial bungling in the government. Then in 2012, youngsters took to the streets again after the Nirbhaya gangrape. Soon after, in 2016 and 2018, people came out in huge numbers to condemn caste-based atrocities and mob violence. The latest among this trend is the agitation against the implementation of Citizenship Amendment Act. Students and civil society continue to raise their voice in unique ways against the establishment, against ideology and against the law-and-order situation. Their common demand: Freedom in independent India. The speeches, lectures and letters in Inquilab: A Decade of Protest captures the most important events and issues of the past 10 years.
