So I was looking for recent rebellions, labeled riots, in Asia that resulted out of systematic oppression. Specifically one that's easy to analyze and 'defend' from a radical point of view. So not one where there's widespread targeting of civilians and passers by, but with most of the rage concentrated against private property. It's for Ethnic studies class too, so ethnic minority agitation works better but the fact that it's in Asia is ethnic enough.
Anyways, I found the little India riot of 2013. Most property destruction was against stores, private buses, and what not. It was the first riot in the authoritarian state of Singapore in 4 decades, and it was carried out by marginalised minorities. This was over the death of an Indian worker, ran over (and killed) by a private bus. Anyways, the rebellion seems to be a natural result and easy to 'defend' and analyze from a radical perspective.

What can revleft add? Or what other rebellion since 2012 preferably can they recommend?
