Vaccinate India — People carry Indian flags as they walk to join others to form a human chain to mark the death anniversary of India's independence leader Mahatma Gandhi and to protest against a new citizenship law that opponents say threatens India's secular identity in Bangalore, India, Thursday, Jan. 30, 2020. The new citizenship law and a proposed National Register of Citizens have brought thousands of protesters out in the streets in many cities and towns since Parliament approved the measure on Dec. 11. | (Aijaz Rahi/AP)
