✦AI Summary
Student leader Aishe Ghosh reflects on her experiences during the 2019 anti-CAA/NRC protests in India, drawing parallels to current youth-led movements. She discusses her political evolution from a student activist at JNU to a national figure in the SFI.
Long before the police lathi-charged the Gen Z protesters in Delhi, Aishe Ghosh was attacked by masked men wielding iron rods, sticks and acid, on her college campus in January 2020, as the police stood by. A photo of the petite student leader, injured after she confronted the attackers, blood pouring down her forehead, went viral then.
