Students, politicians, and markets are watching. Why? Because prolonged uncertainty scares investors more than any headline. FIIs are already nervous; US-Iran war, crude prices, tariffs. Now add a political protest that doesn’t end quickly? Markets blink. Rupee dips. Inflation whispers. Yes, the protest is small now. But if it drags? Expect capital to pause, not flee. India’s credibility was built on stability. That’s the real stake today. Not resignations; predictability. Global money flows where rules don’t change suddenly. One long protest can undo years of trust. That’s why everyone’s watching; not just Delhi, but Dalal Street. A protest ends. Markets remember. Always.
