Hundreds of women in India's IT hub of Bengaluru city took to the streets on Thursday (December 26) saying they will not stop until the government repeals a controversial citizenship law that has angered the country.

The Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) aims to fast-track citizenship for persecuted Hindus, Parsis, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains and Christians who arrived in India before December 31, 2014, from Muslim-majority Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan.
