Neha Bora is the 29-year-old national president of the All India Students’ Association (AISA) and a doctoral researcher at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) whose actions have recently caught the country’s attention due to the emergence of her as a prominent figure of mass protests in New Delhi. Acquiring fame through the participation in high-stakes student agitations, she became a focal person on search engines due to intensive police clampdowns and mass protests against the election authority.
There has been a significant growth in her public presence since she has been part of large-scale resistance movements like the opposition to educational policy change, the 23-day hunger strike at Jantar Mantar, and most recently against electoral rolls and oversight of institutions. The notable thing about Bora is her good articulation and mobilization of people at ground level through social media channels.
