What is NRC & CAB?
The Indian parliament has passed a bill that put the citizenship of Muslim people on the test. In the center, the BJP lead government is ruling that has been criticized for bringing this bill which would treat a group of people as insignificant in this case Muslim community. So all the people should know the full form of NRC, and why it was created, and what will happen if it is implemented in India.
As per the Indian constitution, citizenship was never given on the basis of religion but after this bill is implemented that would be true. People belonging to the following community Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Parsi, and Christain will have to live or work in India for six years to be eligible for applying for Indian citizenship. If these people have come from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Pakistan. CAB bill has been passed in both the house of the parliament after that there was a widespread protect in the northeastern state fearing that a lot of people would come in the country through a backdoor. The northeastern states will be filled or you can say that they would be flooded with a wave of immigrants.
So What Is Bill All About
With the help, they are trying to change the citizenship law which was there for 64 years which prohibits illegal migrants from becoming Indian citizens. As per the current law, any foreign immigrant who has come into a country without valid documents is termed an illegal immigrant and should be deported or jailed. A person must stay in India for 11 years if they want to be eligible for being Indian citizenship. If the minority people want to apply for Indian citizenship and they belong to the following religion like Hinduism, Jainism, Sikhism and Buddhism, Parsi and Christianity they have to live in this country only for six-year and they will become an Indian citizen. Also, some of the people who have an OCI card that is an overseas citizen of India can lose their citizenship if they are found to be doing something illegal or doing major or minor offenses.
What Is All The Controversy All About
Religion cannot be the basis of given citizenship to the people this unconstitutional. As per the law, there is no religious discrimination among Indian citizens, before the law everyone is the same. The government is trying to divide the illegal immigrants into Muslim and non-muslim this is a clear case of religious discrimination. Someone wants to play hate politics and win the confidence of the people. This bill has a purpose and it wants to break the social fabric of the country. There are some people in the neighboring countries who are Muslim and facing a lot of religious hate like Rohingyas of Myanmar who cannot be Indians citizens. They want to deport the Rohingya refugees just because they are Muslims. As per the government, no country takes illegal immigrants in their country. In Assam, the NRC was done but there were a lot of issues like the names of many people were missing for BJP names of Bengali Hindus were not updated so they had to stop the final list NRC to be shared out, they had to put it on hold. They are a big voter bank for BJP so they had to step back. The government wants to complete NRC before 2024 and remove all the illegal migrants from India. This would not help India in the long term as religion has not been the basis of giving citizenship in India.
Conclusion:
The above article will give you an idea of what is happening in India, is probably people in the majority who want to dominate the people in the minority as some have the power they try to cripple the minority communities. Bypassing such kind of law they are putting more fuel into this kind of thought. It is important to remove illegal immigrants, but denying some people citizenship just based on their religion would not help anyone’s purpose. Due to a lot of unrest among the north-east states currently, the bill has not been fully implemented in India. As people of Assam and the northeast feel that a lot of Hindus might migrate from the neighboring countries and they would have to compromise with their culture and share resources with them. So that is why they are opposing it.
