The Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) is a controversial law passed by the Indian Parliament in December 2019. The law grants citizenship to non-Muslim refugees from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Pakistan who have entered India before December 31, 2014.<\/p>\n

The main concerns of the protesters are that the CAA will lead to demographic change in Assam and will threaten the cultural identity of the indigenous people of the state. The protesters also argue that the CAA is discriminatory against Muslims.<\/p>\n

The government has defended the CAA, saying that it is a humanitarian law that will help persecuted minorities from neighboring countries. The government has also said that the CAA does not discriminate against Muslims and that it will not affect the citizenship of any Indian citizen.<\/p>\n
