India, July 21 -- While many dispersed amid the police crackdown in the heart of Delhi on Monday, a protester stood his ground, repeatedly saying "maaro sir, maaro", not flinching once as the members of the force obliged. The incident was caught on video during a Parliament march called by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), as protesters climbed heavy barricades, braved lathi-charges, and contended with tear gas shells. The viral video showed the man, clad in T-shirt and trousers, standing face-to-face with a group of security personnel armed with lathis, repeatedly saying, "maaro sir, maaro sir (beat me, sir)." The marchers, a large number of whom were students, were stopped at several points in central Delhi
