A large public demonstration against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) in Mumbai, India. Thousands of protesters gather with Indian national flags, placards, and handwritten signs, including messages opposing the CAA and expressing support for constitutional values and secularism. Portraits of freedom fighter Bhagat Singh and signs referencing religious unity and opposition to the RSS are visible among the crowd. The footage also features individual protesters speaking to the camera and participating organisations, including the Rashtra Seva Dal (RSD). The demonstration forms part of the nationwide protests that followed the passage of the CAA in December 2019, with protesters raising concerns about the law's implications for India's Muslim population and its relationship with the NRC.
