Continued protests against a new citizenship law in India risk making investors wary of doing business in Asia’s third-largest economy. At least 25 people have been killed in nationwide demonstrations against the new rules enacted into law earlier this month. The law bars undocumented Muslims from three neighboring nations seeking Indian citizenship, while allowing people of other faiths to do so. The protests have continued for over two weeks now, disrupting life and businesses in some parts of India. “The risk of social unrest is now elevated over a longer timeframe," Bery said.
