My thread on the (so called) #Rutgers University students against CAA and Hindutva demonstrations today outside Scott's hall at Rutgers. Note the picture tweeted by @AudreyTruschke the figure and the single raised finger is indicative of the farce that followed 
Out of the 66000 students of Rutgers a mere 20 students mainly indian origin girls formed the demonstration. Here are pics of them. Enquiries with the Rutgers administration revealed that they had no knowledge of this demonstration and indeed they distanced themselves from it
Now here is are pictures of us, our ages ranged from 20 to 70, one elderly couple braved the below zero temperature for 3 hours.
We were joined by the fabulous @Voice_For_India who energized us and she stayed with us throughout. As soon as Audrey Truschke saw her she walked away. Here is a pic of Audrey just before she left her students to face our questions
Here is a pic of @Voice_For_India when she joined us at the venue . The disturbing part was that almost all the anti CAA demonstrators were students of @AudreyTruschke and were clueless about the CAA. When we sang the National Anthem they couldn't join in cos they dint know it
The saddest part was when we asked them why they couldn't sing Jana Gana Mana they answered " we are not Indians we are Americans"
And that my friends in a nutshell is the anti CAA demonstrators in #Rutgers . We stayed there till long after they had left

No doubt tomorrow Madame @AudreyTruschke will try to project this farce as a resounding success but this is what actually happened. @Voice_For_India will bear me out on this. Peer pressured immature students merely shouted slogans against Hindutva and Brahminical patriarchy
What is indisputable fact is that #CAAProtests and #CAA_NRCProtests are engineered by vested foriegn interests and they use gullible, immature, uninformed and peer pressured students and youth to sow discord in India. We have to actively combat this by #ProCAA action
