Shaheen Bagh protests

The Shaheen Bagh protests were a series of demonstrations that started in December 2019 in a neighborhood of New Delhi, India. They arose in response to the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), which many believed discriminated against Muslims by granting citizenship to non-Muslim refugees from neighboring countries. Protesters, predominantly women, occupied a major road for weeks, demanding the repeal of the CAA and expressing broader concerns about religious discrimination and citizenship rights. The movement garnered significant national and international attention, symbolizing resistance against perceived authoritarianism and the protection of secular values in India.
