In mid-December 2019, a nationwide protest movement took to the streets in India against the new xenophobic, Islamophobic, and casteist citizenship laws instated by the Bharatiya Janata Party-led central government. Months-long sit-ins, marches, and spontaneous gatherings carried on into early 2020, halted only by the arrival of the Covid-19 pandemic. By late March, a national lockdown was declared, and multiple protest sites across the country were razed to the ground; their visible traces slowly vanished. In the time that has followed, the energy, vigor, and steadfast resolve of the movement has been subject to a state-led campaign that seeks to tarnish its premise: a simple call for a return to the secular and democratic foundations of the Indian constitution.
