On February 5, a google document, called a “tool kit” shared by Swedish environment protestor Greta Thunberg hit features. From that point forward, the Delhi Police asked Google and multiple other online digital media giants to give data about email IDs, URLs and certain web-based media accounts identified with the document’s makers.

A toolkit, basically, is a report made to clarify any issue on the protest. It likewise gives data on what one requirements to do to address the protest. This may incorporate data about petitions, insights concerning issues and mass developments over the protests, etc.

The toolkit that Thunberg shared, attempts to “clarify the protesters’ actions” in the national capital.

The toolkit at that point goes on to clearly sum up the circumstance of farmers in India and discusses the Center’s new agribusiness enactments.

The process of creating toolkits for protests and revolution has been in history since long, this time is no different. What used to be done with the help of fliers and pamphlets, it is now done with the help of online mediums. The only reason for outrage this time is the public revelation of the document, which followed the constant search for perpetrators who unleashed the riotous situation on the Republic Day. With the unreasonable outcry for a toolkit only shows how low a government to stoop to demean a protest against them.
