It’s not just Muslims or a bunch of liberal students, it’s people who see the India that Gandhi built, one of secularism and religious coexistence, giving way to a government that is bent on a sectarian narrative at a time when the economy is sputtering. Anushree Fadnavis/Reuters Do any scenes spring to mind? Some protesters held a placard that read: “Dear Hindus, We rejected an Islamic state in 1947. Now it’s your turn to reject a Hindu state. Sincerely, Secular India.” That really spoke to me because 1947 was the partition, when Hindus in Pakistan decided to stay or flee to India, and Muslims in India had a similar choice. India chose secularism in 1947. It was majority Hindu and said its strength was its diversity, and that it would embrace Christians and Muslims and Sikhs just as much as its Hindu citizens. Why is one protest in particular — a highway sit-in by Muslim women in Delhi’s Shaheen Bagh neighborhood — seen as so significant? Over all, India’s Muslim community has not been well organized in recent decades, but [these protests have mobilized it](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRgFIXwP4QNAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMjAvMDEvMDQvd29ybGQvYXNpYS9pbmRpYS1wcm90ZXN0cy1tb2RpLWNpdGl6ZW5zaGlwLmh0bWw_dGU9MSZubD1tb3JuaW5nLWJyaWVmaW5nJmVtYz1lZGl0X01CQUVfcF8yMDIwMDEyOSZzZWN0aW9uPWJhY2tTdG9yeSZjYW1wYWlnbl9pZD03Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTE1NTY0JnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MjA3ODImdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkNyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyb249YmFja1N0b3J5VwNueXRCCgAk8AAyXtksgFxSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~). Shaheen Bagh has become a symbol of that. And women’s place in Indian Muslim homes has tended to be a conservative stereotype: They don’t come onto the streets, they don’t protest, they don’t mobilize. So Shaheen Bagh has really changed the game. That’s it for this briefing. See you next time. — Melina Thank you To Mark Josephson and Eleanor Stanford for the break from the news.
