Uproar in India under the Anti-CAA and NRC Movement
The Act has been accused of depriving fundamental rights and freedom of religion among existing muslims in India, whereas muslims who encounter religious suppression in neighborhoods will simultaneously be excluded from the eligibility of seeking for amnesty and applying for citizenships, which has become a major factor that forms a great, intact and acute unity along with consistency among the people in India to call for withdrawal of both the CAA and NRC implementations.
This series of photographs taken between 28 Jan and 12 Feb, 2020 captured various moments of how Indian nationals in Mumbai and Delhi, including minors, youngsters and the elderly contributed efforts to the nationwide, ongoing social movement, even though they have been threatened by forceful actions taken by the authority for dispersion toward many congregations, assemblies, marches and sit-ins as well.
Since the commencement of the movement, demonstrators and supporters have started using the national flag of India, portraits of two social activists, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi and Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar as the quintessential, spiritual significations.
Pieces of work by Daniel have been published on international media organisations including the BBC, The Guardian, CNN, The Wall Street Journal and France media 20 Minutes as well as many other outlets.
Daniel has spent 17 years staying in the former British colony Hong Kong before returning to Taiwan in 2017. As a result, he manages to use English, Cantonese and Mandarin in a fluent manner and has the understanding of culture between the west and the east.
Daniel sometimes carries out assignments from media outlets across the world including those from Thailand and Hong Kong.
For experience in shooting photos about social movements or conflicts, Daniel has covered the citywide anti-extradition bill and government moment between 2019 and 2020 in Hong Kong, as well as the nationwide Anti-CAA, NRC protest in New Delhi and Mumbai of India between Jan and Feb in 2020.

The entire land of India has been filled up with ounces of agitations since the proposal of Citizenships Amendment Act by Prime Minister Modi's administration in November last year, as people at different ages with different religions joined in enormous numbers in both peaceful and violent demonstrations to protest against the Act, as well as the National Register of Citizens, which is an official record used to differentiate legal immigrants and to deport them from India.The Act has been accused of depriving fundamental rights and freedom of religion among existing muslims in India, whereas muslims who encounter religious suppression in neighborhoods will simultaneously be excluded from the eligibility of seeking for amnesty and applying for citizenships, which has become a major factor that forms a great, intact and acute unity along with consistency among the people in India to call for withdrawal of both the CAA and NRC implementations.
