TL;DR Summary

Protests have erupted in India over the implementation of the controversial Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), which introduces a religion-based citizenship test favoring non-Muslim refugees. Critics argue that the law discriminates against Muslim asylum seekers, and its timing, just before Ramadan and national elections, has raised concerns. The government denies these accusations, but activists and opposition leaders view the law as a divisive move and a threat to India's secularism. The CAA's implementation has reignited the fight for equality and justice, with ongoing protests and legal challenges against the law.
