Activists from South Asian caste and religious minorities are organizing against Indian-American businesses that support India’s move to further marginalize its 200 million Muslims.
About 50 demonstrators gathered in Jersey City on Jan. 19 to protest India’s Citizenship Amendment Act, which extends citizenship only to non-Muslim refugees.
New Jersey is home to many supporters of India’s ruling BJP, the Hindu-supremacist party led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Activists have also taken to the streets in Los Angeles, Chicago and Decatur, Georgia.
