STORYLINE:
Students, journalists and teachers protested in the Indian capital New Delhi on Tuesday after a student union leader's arrest and subsequent violence by Hindu nationalists.
The uproar has once again sparked allegations that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government and his Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) are displaying intolerance and cracking down on political dissent in the name of patriotism.
Students and teachers from Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) protested inside the university campus to demand Kumar's release.
Academics at foreign universities extended support.
