NEW DELHI/BENGALURU - Before midnight on New Year’s Eve, a call to action was sent on a private WhatsApp group - within the hour, dozens gathered in the center of the southern Indian city of Hyderabad, many holding banners to protest a controversial new citizenship law.
Faheem, a software consultant, is one of a growing group of opponents to the new law who have begun to borrow tactics used in protests from Hong Kong to Paris, to protest legislation that critics say discriminates against Muslims. The location of the protests, which change daily, are posted just an hour or two in advance, with the exact spots shared just minutes ahead of time.
In Hyderabad, the idea to copy Hong Kong’s play-book came as protestors sought ways to run a long-term campaign that police would find hard to curb, two members from Faheem’s group said.
