German exchange student says he's told to leave India after joining protests

[JPost] - A German exchange student said on Tuesday that Indian authorities had ordered him to leave the country after he took part in protests against Prime Minister Narendra Modi's new citizenship law.

Jakob Lindenthal, a 24-year-old pursuing a master's degree in physics, said he took part in two rallies in the southern city of Chennai against the law, which critics say discriminates against India's minority Muslims.

A photo circulated on Twitter shows Lindenthal holding a sign that reads: "1933-1945 We have been there," a reference to Nazi Germany.

#3 I believe Mexico has a similar policy. Yet they encourage their citizens to protest in the US.

#4 The protest was organized by Chinta Bar, a Marxist group.

#5 Interesting that a German is getting a masters in Physics in India. Props to India (assuming he wasn't just on a semester abroad type thing)

#6 Sounds like the law is similar to the US one regarding Cuban refugees. You escape the bastards you're okay with us sort of thing.
