ABOUT THE EVENT
Close to 200 million minorities in the worlds largest democracy are troubled by the actions of Indian government in the past few years and reached a flash point with latest act passed by the Indian legislature.
​
This citizenship act (CAA) comes amid recent waves of discriminatory actions by the Indian government. The issue is when CAA is combined with National Registry of Citizens (NRC) becomes a weapon targeting the minorities across the Nation.
​
Many actions taken so far by the government are tell tale signs of Fascism showing its ugly tentacles in India.
​
Join to engage in a constructive peaceful protest against this unconstitutional and discriminatory action
(CAA, NRC and NPR amendment) , police brutality and the suppression of free speech.
