They came by trucks. They destroyed crucial evidence. They attacked Doctors, Students, tried to break into girls hostel. And now they're heading for other medical colleges.

White When India got its independence, 78 years ago, Nehru said-

At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps,
India will awake to life and freedom.

78 years later, At the stroke of midnight hour,
when the world , Kolkata IS AWAKE TO MOBS
ATTACKING MEDICAL COLLEGE. They came by trucks.
They destroyed crucial evidence. They attacked Doctors, Students, tried to break into girls hostel.
And now they're heading for other medical colleges.
This is India, this is your country.
78 years after Independence.
