Background and earlier position: student protest in a public space
UPSC can treat parent-led support during the Jantar Mantar protest as a governance-relevant example of public mobilisation, where families become visible stakeholders and add moral framing to student demands. The analytical focus should remain on how mobilisation spreads, shapes public attention, and influences the government–public engagement dynamic in protest contexts.
