You know how in India a crowd will gather to watch literally anything happening on the streets? A gully cricket match, a JCB at work (even when it's not demolishing homes in a butchering of legal due process), people arguing or fighting on the road, anything can draw a crowd on Indian streets.

Sometimes though, what gets demolished in the process is more than someone's ego in a brawl. Like in Gujarat's Kheda, when police publicly thrashed nine Muslim men in a brazenly illegal and unconstitutional act, what was also getting thrashed was the rule of law. Beaten black and blue.
