Protests Against CAA And NRC In New Delhi

A protester is seen during the protest against the government's Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB) and National Register of Citizens (NRC) at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi on December 24, 2019. The Citizenship Amendment Act has triggered nationwide protests as it paved way for six minority communities Hindus, Sikhs, Jain, Buddhists, Zoroastrians and Christians who came to India from Pakistan, Bangladesh or Afghanistan to escape religious persecution before December 31, 2014 to get Indian citizenship. So far, 17 people have died and thousands arrested in two weeks of protests in India against the controversial citizenship law. (Photo by Mayank Makhija/NurPhoto via Getty Images)
