And here are @UniofOxford students reading the Preamble of the Indian Constitution, reminding the govt that protestors are merely asking for the constitution to be honoured.

And in this cold winter, it was lovely to hear progressive voices echo in Oxford's most picturesque Radcliffe Square. In solidarity.

For a gathering organised at the shortest notice and in term break, the turnout and spirits were indeed heartening! #CAA2019
