When offline protests were shut down and voices were being systematically silenced, filmmaker and animal rights activist Sankshay Babber turned a new tide. Refusing to let the movement for Indian dogs die out, he initiated a revolutionary method of awareness — a first-of-its-kind Poster Protest powered entirely by QR codes. In just a few days, over 50,000 people have scanned these posters and listened to the real, gut-wrenching stories of Indian dogs, leading to a never-seen-before shift: dog haters turning into dog lovers.
The Unstoppable Efforts of Sankshay Babber
This latest action is not an isolated attempt but part of a relentless activism journey. Before the Poster Protest, Mr. Babber hosted the now-viral press conference “Asli Mudda,” a one-hour marathon of truth bombs that exposed:
- The everyday realities of animal cruelty that most of the country never sees
- The unscientific and harmful Supreme Court orders that have endangered Indian dogs
- How misinformation, fear campaigns, and narrative manipulation have created an anti-dog mindset
- The lack of scientific understanding among policymakers about community dog behaviour
- A rising pattern of poisoning, displacement, and illegal acts against innocent dogs
“Asli Mudda” didn’t just inform — it shook people. It forced the country to confront uncomfortable truths about how deeply the system has failed its own voiceless citizens — the Indian dogs.
The Poster Protest: When Silenced Voices Found a Smarter Way to Speak
With ground protests restricted, Babber innovated.
If they shut down the streets, he would turn the streets into storytellers.
These posters, placed across key public locations, carry QR codes that open real stories — audio clips, videos, rescue logs, veterinary reports, and eyewitness accounts. Anyone scanning them instantly hears the unfiltered truth: dogs burned alive, assaulted, run over, butchered, abandoned, tortured, and yet still loving humans with everything they have.
The impact has been extraordinary. People who once feared or disliked dogs have reached out saying that the stories changed their perspective forever.
This silent, tech-driven protest is being hailed as one of India’s most powerful awareness campaigns.
A National Movement in the Making
With more than 50,000 scans and counting, the Poster Protest is no longer an initiative — it is a movement. Delhi–NCR residents are reporting emotional reactions, with many stepping forward to adopt, feed, volunteer, or support rescues for the first time.
“If one heart changes, thousands of lives get saved. Today thousands are listening. This is how a real movement begins,” says Babber.
The campaign is now set to expand across multiple cities, with activists and citizens joining hands to correct misinformation and protect Indian dogs from violence and hate.
