Restless Jamia echoed with ‘Jana Gana Mana…’ to welcome 2020

New Delhi: Hope, love and unity were sensed in Jamia Millia last night as thousands stood up at the stroke of midnight to welcome 2020. The University echoed with ‘Jana Gana Mana..’ embracing the optimism of India in unity despite the fact that fear and terror was unleashed on citizens past days.

The amazing women of Shaheen Bagh in the heart of the national capital have caught the hearts and minds of all across India and the world by camping under the open skies and the bitter cold in protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act.

The protest has become a virtual portrayal of all that is good in humanity with others bringing food, sharing blankets, singing songs of resistance, holding hands and stoking India’s potpourri of diversity and pluralism.

Women and men camped on Jamia grounds, despite lowest temperature being recorded in the state.
