19th December, 2019 - 150,000 people in Mumbai protest the new Citizenship Amendment Act, and the subsequent police brutality at Muslim Universities, where students were dragged out of dorms and libraries and beaten, maimed, and blinded.
There have been protests all over India this past week, in all major and minor cities. This new law is partisan, fascist and discriminates against the Muslim community, who form around >14% of the Indian population (~11% of the worlds Muslims live in India), and violates the secular ideals of the Indian constitution.
Nationwide there have been thousands of arrests in response to peaceful demonstrating - there has been state sponsored terror, violence, bus-burning, Section 144 (prohibits assembly of more than 4 people in an area, aka no right to protest) has been imposed in entire states, the Internet, SMS and data services have been suspended.
These pictures are just Bombay. Imagine what the country looks like.
