For those of you not alerted to what’s happening in India, every day the news gets progressively worse. The only heartening moments are to see how strongly so many Indians are standing together in protest, across any divide, to uphold the values of its secular constitution.
There are so many images of the protests and solidarity as Indians of every persuasion stand together to uphold the idea of India, and the ideals of India. This one, in front of the Jama Masjid in Delhi, singing the national anthem. #CAA_NRC_NPR
Many lawyers are protesting in various ways at the vandalism on display towards India’s constitution.
The protests aren’t dimming. At #ShaheenBagh in the capital, the women aren’t leaving after a month of protest through one of Delhi’s coldest winters, and now they are being joined by groups of Sikh farmers. #CAA_NRC_Protests #Inda
“This is how India is defining secularism. Shaheen Bagh is perhaps the first moment in independent India’s history that the idea of secularism is being defined and given meaning by ordinary people.” Yamini Aiyar on how India is reclaiming secularism . m.hindustantimes.com/columns/indian…
