Cultural Survival has covered and fought for many issues over the past 48 years: land rights, Indigenous languages, traditional knowledge, self-determination, freedom of expression. As we step into 2020, I want to focus on a topic that is very close to my heart — the sacred feminine. 

By Dev Kumar Sunuwar

The 2019 Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB) was passed by the parliament of India on December 11, 2019, amending its existing Citizenship Act of 1955, and causing violent protests throughout the country. The protests were seen mostly in India’s northeast regions, particularly in Assam and Tripura, home to more than 230 different Indigenous Peoples. India’s northeast seven states share borders with Bangladesh, Myanmar (also known as Burma) and China.
