They are homemakers and grandmothers, doctors and lawyers, students and teachers. They are all women and they have come out of their homes in massive numbers to protest the CAA. It’s our country, they say. It’s our children’s country. And nobody can take that away from us

Women. Suddenly, they are visible. Great-grandmothers, grandmothers, mothers, teenagers, baby girls. They have slowly but surely reclaimed a corner of a public ground and pitched their tent. They have also reclaimed a tiny but visible corner of a balcony in a crowded shopping area where a hoarding has been placed and young children draw.

The protesting women have reclaimed a road — forcing the traffic to steer to the other side. This is Road No. 13A, in Shaheen Bagh, nestled deep in the belly of South Delhi, where houses are so densely packed that daylight struggles to make its way in. All around you are tiny shops and houses. The women under the tent have refused to budge, come rain or storm. It is a Gandhian satyagraha on display — peaceful, assertive, relentless and in its fourth week. The men don’t enter their space unless they are invited. They stand on the sidelines. “Hum yahin pe theek hain” (we are okay here), says a young man who has come from Muzaffarnagar. People looking for a religious sign or specific attire to stereotype a community, will find instead a proliferation of colours and a diversity of religions here. Ambedkar is back where he belongs. Amongst his people. So is Gandhi, and so is the tricolour.
