At Jantar Mantar, one could hear Bollywood bangers like Kehte hai humko pyar se Indiawaale, Chak de India, Give me some sunshine, Sadda haq, Bhaag DK Bose, Sabse aage honge Hindustaani, Ye tune kya kiya, Aaj blue hai paani paani. A bunch of guys turned viral for creating a reel with the remix of Aaj ruswa teri galiyon mein mohabbat hogi.

One look at the recent Gen Z protests across India and apart from their peaceful resilience and strength what stood out was how they used memes to convey their message. While some dressed up as movie characters, others used memes and many posted videos merged with popular memes clips. They not only put across their point, but had everyone amused too.

Iconic superheroes save the day

Iron Man, Spider Man, Batman, Superman and other super heroes made sure their presence was felt in a big way. From striking various poses of the superheroes to giving interviews to various media channels and serving water to their fellow protestors, they did it all. One protestor even took inspiration from Aamir Khan’s PK (2014). He was seen donning a yellow helmet just like the superstar did in the film.
