Thousands of Indian students, primarily from the Kashmir Valley, studying medicine in Iran are appealing to the Indian government for support amidst escalating protests. The demonstrations, reportedly triggered by economic issues and currency fluctuations, have led to university closures and created a tense atmosphere. Students express fear for their safety, particularly during night shifts and travel, while acknowledging that they have so far remained safe. The Jammu and Kashmir Students Association has formally requested Prime Minister Modi's intervention to ensure the welfare of these students.
