This video is from Gujarat Jamnagar, from a programme organised on 23 August 2019 where sword skills were demonstrated by women

The Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) is being widely opposed in many parts of India; these protests have been going on continuously 24X7 days in different places. The women protesting have made Delhi’s Shaheen Bagh and Lucknow’s Ghantaghar the center of protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), which has led to many misleading and inaccurate articles, videos and photos on social media forums about Shaheen Bagh and Ghantaghar. One such post in which thousands of Rajput women can be heard shouting slogans with swords in their hands is being spread with the claim that these women are marching with swords against the Muslim women of Shaheen Bagh.  It also appears from this claim that the Rajput women shown in the video stand in support of CAA and NRC.
