Modi’s introduction of the Citizenship Amendment Act, or CAA, which allows Hindus, Sikhs, Christians and a host of other religious minorities access to citizenship in India from neighboring countries, has sparked protests nationwide, in a country that has a Muslim population of over 200 million.

According to the latest reports, the army has been deployed to the streets, but that has failed to cool the anger between Hindus and Muslims.
