The history of student protests in India are as old as the pre-independence era. The first student protest in undivided India took place in 1920 in King Edward Medical College, Lahore, against academic discrimination between Indian and English pupils.

Protests against the Citizenship Amendment Bill are rising throughout the country. In the reputed Jamia Millia Islamia University, students were protesting. A particular picture of three women students protesting on December 12th became viral on the internet. The three girls were under the shadow of a giant statue of Urdu poet Mirza Ghalib on campus.
