CAA Protests
The CAA Protests refer to demonstrations that erupted in India in late 2019 against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). The CAA provides a pathway to Indian citizenship for non-Muslim refugees from neighboring countries, which many critics argue discriminates based on religion. Protesters express concerns that the law undermines the secular principles of the Indian Constitution.
These protests saw participation from various groups, including students, activists, and political parties. The demonstrations were marked by widespread rallies, sit-ins, and public discussions, with participants calling for the repeal of the CAA and expressing solidarity with the National Register of Citizens (NRC) movement.
