Songs of protest: A re-look at 5 CAA songs that became viral

A year ago, on December 11, 2019, the Parliament passed the controversial Citizenship Amendment Act, 2019 (CAA). The Act was seriously debated and opposed because of the exclusion of Muslim migrants and non-Muslim majority neighbouring countries.

The Act was opposed on the grounds of bringing a major change to the core concept of Indian citizenship by adding a religious angle to it and brought the entire country into a state of turmoil.

Millions of people took to the streets to protest against this act and voice their opinions. This movement also made its way into the world of music, which gave us some hard-hitting protest songs.
