PHOTO ESSAY: In the Indian capital’s Shaheen Bagh neighborhood, a group of Muslim women sit in the middle of a street in resistance to a new citizenship law that has unleashed protests across the country.

In this Saturday, Jan. 18, 2020 photo, women protesters shout slogans at the protest site at Shaheen Bagh area in New Delhi, India. Muslim women are transcending the confines of their homes to lay claim to the streets of this nondescript Muslim neighborhood in the Indian capital and slowly transforming it into a nerve center of resistance against a new citizenship law that has unleashed protests across the country.

The movement has slowly spread nationwide, with many women across the country staging their own sit-ins. Nationwide protests have brought tens of thousands of people from different faiths and backgrounds together, in part because the law is seen by critics as part of a larger threat to the secular fabric of Indian society.

Modi and other leaders of his Bharatiya Janata Party have repeatedly said Indian citizens won’t be affected by the new law, and that if a nationwide register is ever conducted, there will be no religion column.

We see you a$$hats. Only you lunatics would be mad that India is offering asylum to non-muslims that were being religiously persecuted. Muslims are mad they can't keep torturing and killing non-muslims.

India is rescuing non-muslims - Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, and Zoroastrians - from Islamic persecution and muslims in India are pissed! These are a cancer!!

First get it into your heads CAA has nothing to do with Indian Muslims. The whole thing is a religious political game
