You wrote, "Then there have been refusals by the police to grant permits to stage protests in Kolkata, Bengaluru and New Delhi." Not true for Kolkata. There were rallies. See 'Thousands Turn up at Kolkata Rally Condemning Israeli Attack on Palestine' (https://www.newsclick.in/thousands-turn-kolkata-rally-condemning-israeli-attack-palestine), 'Protesters in Kolkata march in support of Palestine' (https://www.indiatoday.in/cities/kolkata/story/protestors-in-kolkata-march-in-support-of-palestine-2448209-2023-10-12). As you may know, Kolkata is the capital city of West Bengal state, which is ruled by a centrist party.
