On July 20, in the streets of New Delhi, young people who had gathered to speak arrived unarmed and were met with pellet guns, tear gas, and batons. The state's response to peaceful dissent raised a question as old as governance itself: where does the authority to maintain order end and the obligation to protect citizens begin? The incident has since become a mirror in which India is being asked to examine the distance between the rights its citizens are promised and the treatment they receive when they exercise them.
