Never Again India VOICES OF THE STREETS

For this new episode - "Never Again India” - we interviewed people in Cape Town who were marching in solidarity with Indian minorities that are oppressed by the Indian government. Especially, two new laws called Nation Register of Citizenship (NRC) and Citizenship Amandment Act (CAA) are seen as intentionally discriminatory against Muslims.
Furthermore, freedom of expression is severely restricted, and violent attacks are to be expected when public statements are made against government policies. Recently, students protesting at the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) has been attacked; at least 35 of them were injured, and 18 landed in a trauma centre.
In reaction to this violence, people in South Africa gathered to call upon their government to put pressure on the Modi regime. Moreover, the march brings critics to the general uprising of ethno-nationalist movements worldwide.
