  The generic fluidity observed in the nature of political protest movements
across the world during the last decade weigh heavily with the presence of
social media. As such, there is a possibility to study the contemporary
movements with an interdisciplinary approach combining computational analytics
with social science perspectives. The present study has put efforts to
understand such dynamics in the context of the ongoing nationwide movement in
India opposing the NRC-CAA enactment. The transformative nature of individual
discontent into collective mobilization, especially with a reflective
intervention in social media across a sensitive region of the nation state, is
presented here with a combination of qualitative (fieldwork) and quantitative
(computing) techniques. The study is augmented further by the primary data
generation coupled with real-time application of analytical approaches.
