In India, police have arrested 43 people during a protest march outside a Coca Cola factory. Organizers reported four activists were hospitalized with severe head injuries after police charged the demonstrators with batons. Coke has faced widespread protests throughout India. “Basically the issues are that Coca Cola is extracting too much groundwater from the groundwater resource and it’s leaving the communities without any water all across India,” said Amit Shirvasli of the India Resource Center. “And the pressure on Coca Cola company continues to grow in India and it’s become one of the most formidable community-led campaigns in the world today.” The Coke protest on Monday came on India’s 58th anniversary of independence from British rule.
