But the reality is that a big percentage of Indian Hindus are also protesting against the act.

Good politics should cut across the lines of region, religion, colour, creed and cast. Provocative politics on the basis of either of the above always drags masses to losing end, where the losses turn to be miscalculative with upredicted destructions.
Delhi riots between the pro-CAA and anti CAA people has portrayed a worst picture of Capital, once know by Delhi Hai Dilwalun Ki “Delhi belongs to the dearing people ” has broken thousands of hearts all around the world. Amidst communal riots in Delhi, if the communal harmony incidents have also been witnessed at some places but hate mongers are up in arms to put fuel on fire, being seen on social media barking openly against the opposite religion. Politics cannot devalue the human life by doing politics at the cast of it. People need to know the difference between humans and inhumans. Why shouldn’t people get a chance to live with harmony. Good politics should cut across the lines of region, religion, colour, creed and cast. Provocative politics on the basis of either of the above always drags masses to losing end, where the losses turn to be miscalculative with upredicted destructions. Good sense should prevail among all irrespective of religion, goons need to be unmasked, and they who want to give the riots a communal colour should be dealt with strict action. Social media users shouldn’t share videos of senseless people who provoke people against any religion.
