As Trump visits India, here is @clary_co's excellent @monkeycageblog overview of the state of play, and a short thread of our recent India coverage. 1/ washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/…
@clary_co @monkeycageblog In December, @SuparnaChaudhry wrote a very useful explainer of the new Citizenship Amendment Bill, which set off major protests. 2/ washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/…
@clary_co @monkeycageblog @SuparnaChaudhry As those protests spread, @aditimalik_ @ShivajiMukherj3 & @AjayVerghese explained the pattern of who was protesting where and why. 3/ washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/…
@clary_co @monkeycageblog @SuparnaChaudhry @aditimalik_ @ShivajiMukherj3 @AjayVerghese Those protests spread to universities, and @Shubha186 provided an up-close view of the subsequent crackdown in early January. 4/ washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/…
@clary_co @monkeycageblog @SuparnaChaudhry @aditimalik_ @ShivajiMukherj3 @AjayVerghese @Shubha186 And @Prof_PSingh explained how protesters were reclaiming national symbols, and why that matters. 5/ washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/…
@clary_co @monkeycageblog @SuparnaChaudhry @aditimalik_ @ShivajiMukherj3 @AjayVerghese @Shubha186 @Prof_PSingh More to come, and of course many important pieces elsewhere, e.g., this from @AyresAlyssa on the US-India trade non-agreement...6/ cfr.org/article/field-…
