      ab: The Women of Shaheen Bagh as Muslim political actors foregrounded an alternative form of Indian nationalism defined by peaceful, artistic protest and leveraged their previous hyper-invisibility and rhetorical position as wives and mothers to advocate against the CAA-NRC. The Wire Twitter feed has an informative flowchart that explains the connection between the CAA and NRC. When the right-wing Hindu-nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of India passed the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) on December 11, 2019, and quickly followed up the legislative amendment with the implementation of the National Registry of Citizens (NRC), protests blossomed in India and across the globe.[6] As a feminist research collective based at Bowling Green State University (BGSU) - including Radhika Gajjala, Oladoyin Olubukola Abiona, and Olayombo Tejumade Raji-Oyelade, along with collaborators at other institutions - we were immediately struck by the images of a specific anti-CAA-NRC protest in Shaheen Bagh neighborhood of Delhi, a protest dominated by images of Muslim women - often mothers and grandmothers - peacefully protesting for weeks in streets.
