After months of protests over a controversial citizenship law, India is now dealing with some of the worst violence in decades.

At least 47-people were killed and over 300 injured in riots across Delhi. Witnesses said police were unwilling or unable to control the mobs, and in some cases may have participated in the violence. Crowds set fire to thousands of properties, including schools, mosques, shops, and homes. Police and paramilitary are now patrolling neighborhoods but some Muslims say they’re living in constant fear.
