India Breaks Up Massive Student Demonstrations Against Its Rule

SRINAGAR, KASHMIR, INDIA - APRIL 17: Kashmiri Muslim students shout anti-Indian slogans, after they tried to march in the city's main commercial hub, to protest the attack by Indian government forces on students on April 17, 2017 in Srinagar, the summer capital of Indian administered Kashmir, India. Dozens of Kashmir students were injured Monday in anti-India protests and clashes between students and Indian government forces in the strife torn Kashmir region. Thousands of college students took to the streets in the city center of Srinagar to protest a police raid at a college in southern Pulwama town on Saturday, in which at least 50 students were injured. The students were chanting slogans "Go India, go back" and "We want freedom." The protests soon spread to several colleges in Srinagar and other parts of Kashmir, leading to pitched battles between rock-throwing students and government forces. Indian government forces used purple dyed water canons, tear gas and pellets to disperse the crowd. The authorities also suspended internet services in the region once again despite the Indian supreme court ruling yesterday that the right to access internet cannot be curtailed.
