On Monday, 20-year-old Chavi (her name has been changed) stopped outside the Delhi Metro station, which has seen the largest anti-government protests against Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government in recent years in the Indian capital.
Fixing her phone to the railing, she stepped back and filmed a quick “fitness check” — a video of her outfit before the protest.
“You’re going to get beat up by the cops, guys,” she smiled into the camera.
Hours after police fired tear gas and baton-charged protesters, tens of thousands of supporters of the Bero Janta Party (CJP) — a youth-led movement that has grown in protest over test failures and a broader campaign for government accountability — marched on parliament.
He demanded the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the exam paper and recruitment scandals. Pradhan refused to resign Blaming the opposition Exploiting students for political gain.
Authorities have suspended mobile internet in the area of the rally. In the evening, many protesters were beaten by the police, the police said, and several officers were injured.
When Chavi finally uploaded his videos last night, something happened. She joked that she was beaten by the police before the rally. Hours later, she was still smiling — standing alongside riot officers, flashing victory signs, filming in the crowd and even interviewing a wounded protester.
The clips were among thousands of reels, memes and first-person messages that flooded Instagram after protesters gained internet access. Some were raw with anger. Others were breathless, scared or quietly reluctant. However, it was his sardonic humor that often caught the eye.
