Description:
In the last two years, the Government of India under its ruling Hindu nationalist party, the Bharatiya Janata Party, has enacted the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), and promoted other regulations, such as the National Register of Citizenship (NRC), designated to change the rules for who can and who cannot be or become an Indian citizen, and who can immigrate — for the first time making religion a key criterion. These regulations have sparked communal tensions and fears among India's religious and ethnic minorities. The Indian Citizenship Amendment Act Protest Movements Web Archive documents the widespread social justice movements and anti-CAA organizations to support them, as well as the allied movements mobilizing women and students with them, including groups of freedom fighters, oppressed castes, transgender people, and other marginalized communities. The Archive also contains documentation of the government crackdowns and violent suppression of these protests. The Archive is curated by Aruna Magier (New York University0, Jef Pierce (University of Pennsylvania), and Gary Hausman (Columbia University), under the auspices of the Ivy Plus Libraries Confederation.
