Many Indians lack the documents needed to prove citizenship—and Muslims are in the firing line.
Firoza Bano, 50, sat worried in her home in the northern Indian city of Jaipur. Born in the north Indian state of Rajasthan in 1970, she has barely traveled outside the state—but now she faces the possibility of being kicked out of her home country. The Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and the proposed all-India National Register of Citizens (NRC) will require Bano to prove she’s Indian. If she’s unable to produce the requisite documents, she might lose her citizenship and be declared an infiltrator. At best, she might spend months in one of the detention centers being built across the country to house the newly created refugees—at worst, she could be deported to a country she’s never known or be left stateless.
“My mother gave birth to me at home. My birth was never registered, so how do I produce a certificate?” Bano said. “Nor do I have land ownership or tenancy records dating back five decades. Although we’re law-abiding citizens, having lived peacefully in India all our lives, we might be thrown out of the country.”
Last December, India passed the CAA, which provides a route to citizenship to members of six religious minority communities from Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan—but not for Muslims. Coupled with the NRC, a supposedly definitive list of Indian citizens, the provision is facing criticism for being anti-Muslim and unconstitutional. A similar list in Assam has already been used to single out Indian-born Muslims for potential deportation. And while members of other faiths now have the shield of the CAA as a route back into Indian citizenship if they’re branded as illegal by the NRC process, Muslims have no such respite.
That’s a big problem.

They don’t want to be sent to a Muslim country.
They want to make where they are a Muslim country.
Islam like socialism/communism/progressivism just needs to be done correctly. No cause and effect just find a nice place and make it better by adding on your old system. Rinse and repeat.
Poor things! Muzzies cannot live in non-muzzy countries!
Muzzles can’t even live in muzzy countries. They murder more of each other than Infidels.
If they are that terrified of being deported for being Muslim, there is an easy fix. Convert to Hindu, Buddhism or Christianity.

Poor victims......
NOT!!!
Send the invaders home.
My Vietnamese wife was born at home. At the age of 16, she went to a local court with her parents and the court issued birth certificates retroactively to the date of birth (and for all 12 members of the family).
Exactly.
They are infiltrating with that purpose in mind and whine and cry like a bunch of little girls when confronted with the truth.
Short leash makes for good behaviour.
One of the largest genocides in history was committed by muslims in India.
Look it up.

This really tears me up inside! Oh well, what’s on TV?
Many Muslim families have been there for a very long time (since the Moguls) and they have mostly been an industrious part of the community. However, the younger generations are too easily radicalized. The Hindus have a violent history too. Nobody was an angel during Partition. That was in my lifetime. Go visit there and you’ll see how unclear it all is. The Buddhists and Jains are a pacific influence. There are Christians and Jews there too, though not many. But it’s as multicultural a place you’ll find, and always has been. It’s easier for a monoculture like Japan to keep order than this cauldron of 1.2 billion specimens of humanity.
Yes. The Moguls invaded and killed a million Hindus. The Hindus got their own back in 1948.
There is a REASON Britain split the country into 2 Nations an Hindu (India)and an Muslim)(Pakistan) nation... The horrors that they did to each other during the partition is as sickening as any in human history.
Their ability to live side by side peacefully in India prior to British rule is a dubious claim at best.
The mess there dates back centuries... and isn’t going to end anytime soon... Muslim conquered India and like Muslim’s do, they subjugated the majority Hindu population.... The animosity between these two groups long predates the modern state of India.
I have no doubt that some of these groups have learned to co exist, but hardly has the Hindu=Muslim relationship been one of peace and mutual respect.
Go Modi! Kick all the mooslimbs out. Force them to go live in an islamist paradise. You would think they’d go willingly.
“It’s easier for a monoculture like Japan to keep order than this cauldron of 1.2 billion specimens of humanity.”
I always thought that “freedom of religion” is at best a delusional pipedream, at worst a bloody camp.
How can two or more belief systems that believe theirs is the only way to salvation, with contradictory values, and who constantly rail against the others, possibly ever peacefully coexist in the same society?
Yes socialist Christianity Today had a tear jerking article about this over the weekend. The mean bigoted Indians are persecuting their Muslim community, according to CT.
