India’s crackdown on cockroaches, critics and cameras

A government at war with its critics – from young protesters to the media. A wave of youth-led protests has returned to the streets of India’s capital, Delhi, after media reports revealed that the Electoral Commission removed about 130 million names from voter lists. These protests differ from the unrest that exploded in July, though, by the attacks on the media. Dozens of journalists and content creators have been detained, assaulted or blocked from doing their jobs. But tightening the screws on critical reporting doesn’t appear to be working, as a new generation rises to challenge the government.
