Delhi

Delhi appears in Cockroaches 1, Modi 0: India’s remarkable protests as the protest setting where the Cockroach Movement escalated after Sonamji was removed from a hunger-strike site. The source says the resulting mobilization became Delhi’s biggest protest in more than half a decade.

The episode also uses Delhi as a state-response case: central internet shutdowns, metro closures, tear gas, pellet-gun use, and police beatings make the city part of the wiki’s Dissent Space Compression branch rather than merely a location.
