Shaheen Bagh Protest

The Shaheen Bagh Protest, which began in late 2019 in Delhi, India, was a significant demonstration against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and the National Register of Citizens (NRC). Protesters, primarily women, argued that the CAA discriminated against Muslim immigrants, violating the secular principles of the Indian Constitution. The protest gained nationwide attention and became a symbol of resistance against perceived government overreach and communalism. Lasting for over three months, it showcased the power of peaceful protest and raised awareness about citizenship rights and social justice in India.
