Anti-CAA Protests

The Anti-CAA protests were demonstrations against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) enacted in India in 2019. The CAA aimed to simplify citizenship processes for non-Muslim minorities from neighboring countries, perceived by critics as discriminatory toward Muslims and potentially undermining India’s secular principles. Many saw it as unfairly targeting Muslims and violating constitutional rights. The protests, involving millions across India, demanded the repeal of the law, emphasizing the importance of equal rights and religious freedom. The movement highlighted concerns over communal harmony, minority protections, and India's secular democracy.
