[India] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. A peaceful protest was held in Kolkata on April 10, 2025, organized by Jamiat Ulama-e-Hind with participation from Christian and Sikh groups, demonstrating against the Waqf amendment bill. The event is classified as low severity with no reported disruptions.

Supply-chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates. Given the peaceful nature and low severity classification, immediate supply-chain disruptions are unlikely unless the protest activity expands significantly or shifts toward more disruptive tactics.

Watch points

• Monitor for escalation in protest activity or expansion beyond Kolkata to other major Indian commercial centers
• Track any government response that could affect broader sectarian tensions or policy implementation timelines
