The activist and author Farah Naqvi, who has visited some of the riot-affected areas of Delhi, says: “Muslims feel scared, vulnerable and threatened in Modi’s India and are reduced to second class citizenship but the CAA protests are a significant turning point. They are reclaiming their citizenship and other rights.” In a 50 minute interview to Karan Thapar for The Wire, she spoke at length about what she has seen and learnt in the riot-affected areas but also about what it feels like to be a Muslim in Modi’s India.
