A series of digital illustrations created to be used as posters (online and printed) during the self-organized citizens’ protests (that occurred between December 2019 and February 2020) against the discriminatory and unconstitutional Citizenship Amendment Act 2019 in India.

These posters have been included in the online archive collection of the Center for the Study of Political Graphics (CSPG).
