Citizenship

This is a contentious concept across the world over as nationalism rises. Here demonstrations are countrywide due to the Citizens Amendment Act in December disallowing Muslim citizenship in many cases. In Kochi I joined a rally of Muslim women in Vasco Da Gama Square, who were peacefully and passionately demonstrating about the loss of their citizenship rights.  One of the protests was eager to answer my questions and asked me to pray for them at this difficult time.
