Everything that is going wrong with India right now! India is a battlefield now. It is the majority of people that make up India who are fighting against the Citizenship Amendment Bill passed by the Parliament of India on 11 December 2019 v/s the Parliament of India (Basically BJP!). Citizenship amendment bill enables the people of Hindu, Sikh, Buddist, Jain, Parsi, and Christian religious minorities that had fled persecution from Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan before December 2014 to acquire citizenship in the country.

Well, where is secularism, one of the features of the Indian Constitution? This is the first time any act has been passed based on religion. This is the beginning of restructuring the identity of India. Obviously, the Muslim community gets affected and they began to protest. Violence was unleashed upon them. A lot of blood...
