The pandemic brought an abrupt end to the nation-wide protests against National Registry of Citizens (NRC) and Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), but not without leaving a trail of questions for academic debate and legal conundrums, which are yet to be resolved by the courts. Professor Anupama Roy, in this book, has pursued the academic questions with the rigour of a social scientist and anthropologist, while making clear why, according to her, the protests, and the expression of dissidence against the two controversial Acts make sense.
