On 21st May 2017, Jantar Mantar witnessed a massive Dalit protest against the recent violence perpetrated on the Dalit community in Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh. The protesters, all sporting blue caps that said Bhim Army, were refused permission by the Delhi police to hold their rally at Jantar Mantar. However, the community took no heed of the refusal; throngs of protesters crowded the street and the air rang with cries of ‘Jai Bhim’.
