It provides a path to Indian citizenship for religious minorities from three neighboring countries - Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan - namely Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis, and Christians, who arrived in India before December 31, 2014, due to persecution on grounds of religion. Critics argue that the Act is discriminatory because it excludes Muslims and undermines the secular principles of India's constitution. The CAA has sparked widespread protests and debates across the country since its introduction. CAA: India is implementing a controversial citizenship rule granting amnesty to non-Muslim illegal immigrants from neighboring countries, three years after protests erupted. The law provides citizenship to religious minorities from Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan. Narendra Modi's administration offers asylum to abuse victims, but critics allege bias against Muslims. The 2019 law, delayed due to protests, led to multiple deaths and arrests. The government has not set a date yet, but the announcement comes before the upcoming general elections, where Mr. Modi's BJP is aiming for a third term. India passes Tax Citzenship Revision Bill, which rejects Muslims in travelers. The Taxi altered the 64-year-old Indian Citizenship rule, which prohibits illegal travelers from becoming Indian residents. It categorized illegal migrants as foreigners who enter India without valid identification or travel documents or exceed their permitted stay. Illegal workers can face extradition or imprisonment, except for those from Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Parsi, and Christian backgrounds, who can be exempted if they prove their origin from Pakistan, Afghanistan, or Bangladesh. To be an Indian citizen, one must reside/work in India for an extended time. OCI cardholders can lose their status if they break local rules. Critics question the law for excluding and violating constitutional standards by requiring faith for citizenship. Constitution prohibits victimization and guarantees equality and protection under the law for all residents. Delhi lawyer Gautam Bhatia claims that categorizing alleged travelers as Muslims and non-Muslims in the law violates our secular principles. Historian Mukul Kesavan believes the law's main objective is to discredit the citizenship of Muslims. Critics say the bill should have protected persecuted Muslim minority groups like Ahmadis in Pakistan and Rohingyas in Myanmar. Government seeks to extradite Rohingya from India. BJP leader Smash Madhav backs the bill, stating that no country allows illegal migration. Indian citizenship rules apply to complaint subjects, while others can opt for naturalized citizenship by providing valid proof of Indian citizenship. As per R Jagannathan, publisher of Swarajya magazine, any remaining illegal immigrants will be infiltrators. He justified the exclusion of Muslims from the bill by citing the Islamist nature of the three countries involved either through their constitutions or the actions of aggressive Islamist groups targeting minorities. The bill's historical background includes its introduction in July 2016, passage in the lower house, but failure to be approved in the upper house due to protests in north-eastern India. Fights escalated in Assam state after 2 million occupants were removed from a residents' register in August due to illegal migration concerns from Bangladesh. The Taxi and the register are connected but not identical. The Public Register of Residents (NRC) is a list of individuals who can provide evidence of arrival in the state prior to March 24, 1971, one day prior to Bangladesh's independence. The BJP initially supported the NRC but later claimed it was filled with errors, as Bengali Hindus, a significant voter base for the party, were also excluded and at risk of illegal immigration. How is the residents' register linked to the bill? They are connected as the Citizenship Alteration Bill aims to protect non-Muslims from extradition or detainment. This benefits Bengali Hindu travelers not included in the NRC, allowing them to obtain Assam state citizenship. Home Pastor Amit Shah proposed a nationwide register of residents to identify and expel infiltrators from India by 2024. Rejected individuals will be categorized as either predominantly Muslims (labeled as illegal immigrants) or as all others (considered illegal migrants). Shorten this text.
