"India Implements Controversial Citizenship Law Excluding Muslims Amid Protests"

India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government has announced the implementation of a 2019 citizenship law that fast-tracks naturalization for religious minorities from neighboring countries, excluding Muslims. The law has sparked protests and criticism, with opponents arguing that it undermines India's secular foundation and could be used to marginalize Muslims. Critics also accuse Modi of enabling anti-Muslim violence through his silence and mixing religion with politics. With Modi seeking a third term in office, the timing of the law's implementation has raised concerns about polarization ahead of the upcoming elections.
