Ahmedabad's public parks, historically significant for political movements and labor organizing like the 1972 founding of SEWA, recently witnessed a violent confrontation. On August 27, a group gathered at AUDA Garden in Vastrapur to read various literary works, including titles by Anne Frank, Malala Yousafzai, and George Orwell. This peaceful assembly was interrupted by members of the Bajrang Dal, who reportedly assaulted several participants. The incident highlights a shift in the accessibility and safety of the city's public spaces, which have long served as venues for intellectual exchange and social activism dating back to the independence movement.
