Marina Beach in Chennai, Tamil Nadu’s capital, served for over a week as the epicenter of the statewide demonstrations to restore Jallikattu, the manly sport of “bull taming.” The demonstration, occurring around the clock, attracted 600,000 to 1 million people, depending on the hour. Dancing, chanting, drum beating, and speech making stirred a din in a carnival of nonviolent shared grievances. Photo/Dhruv Malhotra
