The Citizenship Amendment Bill is presently an Act (CAA). Regardless of whether the courts upset it or remain its execution, it has brought up some major issues about the sort of country India is turning out to be. Nobody can't help contradicting the possibility that those confronting persecution in different terrains ought to be allowed shelter/citizenship in India. In a democratic and liberal system like India, should religion choose who must be included or barred?
There is a panic that in the predominant charged communal situation in the nation, minorities will confront persecution and be treated as second-class citizens and potentially lose their identity. Any Muslim can be blamed for being an outsider and the burden will be on them to demonstrate something else. Many individuals don't have the appropriate documentation, in the North East during the NRC procedure. Since the neighboring nations won't acknowledge these individuals, the inquiry emerges whether they would be for all time put in detention centers (fancy name for concentration camps) since their numbers are likewise very enormous.
The consequence of combined CAA-NRC will be increased polarization, potential mass violence, riots and the making of Muslims as the new untouchables, deprived in genuine and emblematic terms, socially and culturally distant, and defamed when they fight for their privileges.
CAA and NRC take us back to the colonial days where the British divided this country on the basis of religion.
19th December 2019, the whole country witnessed the backlash where students, women, political activists, artists, and all working-class people came down to the streets to protest against the draconian law which would divide our homeland into two parts.
