To be fair this is the second iteration of these protests so it has been more than two days overall. The first iteration led to the government accepting the protestors demands and the resignation of the key education minister that was held in contempt.
On one hand I would say India has a rich tradition of protest and the people naturally have an inclination to slap back at authoritarianism. British foreign occupation and Indira Gandhi declaring emergency in the post independence period come to mind. On the other, America has a similarly rich tradition of standing against tyranny albeit shorter, more violent and cushioned by relative prosperity. The No Kings protests were of a smaller scale and arguably less effectual but the spirit of standing against authoritarianism is absolutely present in both nations.
