Amidst the inhuman, ruthless wave of police brutality that was witnessed by the students of Jamia Milia Islamia on 15th December in the national capital, there were these heartwarming moments of kindness that restored our faith in humanity.
1. After a violent night of tear gas, lathi charge and gunshots, Jamians were on their feet the next morning, they formed a human chain to continue their protests peacefully.
2. Jabarjan Singh a Sikh who traveled all the way from Bhatinda to distribute chai and samosa to the students who were protesting outside of Jamia.
As the Delhi Police came down heavily on the students at #JamiaMilliaIslamia, a Sikh man was seen extending support to the protesters – by distributing chai and samosas to them.

This is Jamia, this is what Jamia has engrained in us, we follow the path of nonviolence, we follow the path of not letting other littering around us and if anyone does it we clean their mess as well.

9. Broken bones, teargas, gunshots and lathi charge didn’t crush their spirit, it didn’t stop them from standing up for their principals.
No amount of lathi charge can ever breakdown the essence of humanity.
