In December 2019, Uttar Pradesh was swept by massive protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), along with the rest of the country. But the protests in UP were crushed in the violence that ensued following the protests, as part of which 21 men were killed, and several others were arrested. The UP police had at the time said that over 1,100 people were under arrest and 5,558 kept in preventive detention in the state. But what wasn’t discussed as much was the trauma suffered by the Muslim Women, who found themselves twice as vulnerable, by virtue of their Muslim and female identity. This is part of The Quint series in UP called ‘Everyday Communalism’.
