在愈演愈烈的反体制示威浪潮中，印度当局短暂拘留了该国主要反对党领袖。
Indian authorities briefly detained the leader of the country’s main opposition party in widening anti-establishment demonstrations.
此次抗议活动的导火索是对选民名单的重新审核，该过程导致数千万人被从名单中剔除。
The latest protests center around anger over a review of India’s electoral roll that has resulted in tens of millions of people being deleted; critics, who argue the exercise is politically motivated and anti-democratic, have demanded the head of the election commission resign, while the Supreme Court has said the government must hold officials accountable.
批评者认为此举带有政治动机且违背民主原则，要求选举委员会主席引咎辞职；印度最高法院也责令政府必须追究相关官员的责任。
Earlier demonstrations erupted over mismanagement of a string of public examinations, and broader youth disenchantment with the authorities.
此前，一系列公共考试管理不善以及年轻群体对当局日益不满也引发了多轮示威活动。
“All over the world, democracy means people chose their government,” one protester told The New York Times.
