Like other Indian cities, citizens of Bengaluru, too, have been turning up in thousands to protest against the CAA and National Register of Citizens (NRC), which, if implemented, will put the onus on 1.3 billion people to prove their citizenship. The CAA, in particular, will ensure that Muslims are disproportionately affected, a clear violation of the secular nature of the Indian republic.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other BJP leaders have tried to portray the uprising as one manufactured by political rivals, but participants include many first-time protesters and even people who earlier voted for the BJP. |
