Jailed Scholar Sharjeel Imam Sparks Debate on India's Muslims

A prison interview by Muslim scholar Sharjeel Imam has ignited a national debate on the place of India's roughly 200 million Muslims in its democracy. Imam, jailed since 2020 on charges linked to anti-CAA protests, questioned the constitution's secularism and centralisation of power. Rights groups call the continued detention of him and other activists an abuse of power.
