Demonstrations in Guwahati against controversial citizenship law

Description

Hundreds gather in Guwahati, in the Indian state of Assam to protest against the controversial Indian citizenship law deemed as anti-muslim. The law -- making it easier for persecuted minorities from three neighbouring countries to gain citizenship, but not if they are Muslim -- has stoked fears Prime Minister Narendra Modi wants to remould the world's biggest democracy India as a Hindu nation, which he denies.

An important issue is also home instruction."
