Indians formed a 620-km human chain to register their protest against a controversial law on January 26.

Organised by the state of Kerala's ruling Left Democratic Front for India's Republic Day, the seven-million-strong human chain wound from Kasargod in the northern tip of Kerala to Thiruvananthapuram in the south.

The human chain was formed at 4:00 pm and all the protesters took an oath to protect the Indian Constitution.

While protest was led by the Left, people from several other political parties also took part in it vowing to resist the newly passed Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).

The controversial law seeks to provide Indian citizenship to persecuted refugees of all religions except Muslims.

Indians formed a 620-km human chain to register their protest against a controversial law on January 26.

Organised by the State of Kerala's ruling Left Democratic Front, the stunning human chain winded from Kasargod in the northern tip of Kerala to Thiruvananthapuram in the south.

While protest was led by the Left, people from several other political parties also took part in it vowing to resist the newly passed Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).

The controversial law seeks to provide Indian citizenship to persecuted refugees of all religions except Muslims.

Many fear that CAA combined with another exercise, National Register of Citizens, may disenfranhcise many of India’s 200 milliin strong Muslim population.

Rahul Kutty, 24, a resident of Calicut said the Modi government was trying destroy the constitution. “We are here to protect it,” he said.

India celebrates her Republic Day every January 26.
