Since the October 7 attacks, painstaking images of Israel’s ongoing brutality in Gaza have stirred hearts, compelling many to raise banners demanding a ceasefire. This wave of resistance has taken over university campuses worldwide, including Columbia University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and Harvard University in the United States, where a record number of students are mobilizing large-scale pro-Palestine protests.
The screams from Israel’s unfaltering attacks on Gaza have also echoed in the Indian subcontinent. New Delhi’s college campuses witnessed spurts of protests, but they were muffled swiftly.
As a result, students in the national capital have resorted to unconventional means of dissent. From graffiti to poster campaigns, from artistic expressions on wearables to boycott initiatives like the BDS movement, the campuses of Delhi University (DU), Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), and Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) have shown solidarity for the Palestinian cause.
As the black, white, and green stripes of the Palestinian flag found their place in the nook and corners of these campuses, these photographs showcase the powerful means of protest over the past three months.
