[September 2014 saw the dramatic escalation of a localised student movement in Jadavpur University in South Calcutta demanding a fair investigation into an incident of molestation of a girl in campus to a huge movement of students, intellectuals and citizens of Calcutta that strongly condemned the authoritarianism and callousness the university administration displayed in handling the situation. This photo-essay was originally published in http://www.aneyezine.com/in-solidarity-a-photostory-of-the-on-going-movement-in-jadavpur-university/. This is a repost. For details regarding the initial student movement demanding a fair investigation and the punishment of the molesters, see http://kafila.org/2014/09/12/jadavpur-university-students-struggle-against-gender-violence/]
'Students, tired after a long day of protest, unwind with music, and much-needed sleep as the posters scream in the darkness. A photostory in (mostly) multiple exposure, documenting the ongoing protests in Jadavpur University at night, on the 11th of September, taken between 2am and 4am.'
