Kolkata, India – On August 21, a hot, humid afternoon, thousands of doctors and medical students marched through the capital of the eastern Indian state of West Bengal. Female doctors led the march, many in black T-shirts, some with stethoscopes around their necks.
Among the banners the protesters held, one in particular spelled out the tragedy that united them: “She had taken an oath to save lives, not lose her own,” it said.
