Having been in the unfortunate situation of coming between protestors and police in 2019 January (railway workers strike) and seeing many protests in India, The French are way too violent at protesting. Indian protests atleast in my state are like melas without any pyromaniacs
I think you nailed it. I am Czech, our protests are notoriously mild - someone waves a placard saying "Politicians are shit" and ten reporters film him.
French protests feel like trial version of a civil war.
