Jantar Mantar chhoo-mantar, not protests
Jantar Mantar has recently been officially designated as a site for demonstrations in India. Jantar Mantar's transformation follows a history of protest locations like the Boat Club lawns. The change brought about noticeable effects on protest dynamics across the region. While protests do not fade away, they often shift in location based on official designations. Authorities face increased scrutiny to manage and maintain these designated sites appropriately.
