Dhruv Rathee's citizenship questioned amid Delhi voter roll protests
Original: dhruv rathee
YouTuber Dhruv Rathee is under scrutiny over his citizenship and visa status after reports linked him to protests against the Special Intensive Revision of India's voter rolls. Indian authorities have locked down Delhi, detained protesters and cancelled trains to block a youth rally, with a rally leader detained at the airport. Critics say the electoral roll revision targets opposition voters, while commentators debate whether Rathee is being singled out for his anti-government content.
Why now: Large anti-SIR protests in Delhi and questions about the prominent YouTuber's citizenship are dominating headlines in India and abroad.
