The Indian Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), coupled with the National Register of Citizens (NRC), specifically aims to not only discriminate against the Indian Muslims but also to render them stateless. Effectively, Indian residents who are included in the NRC will be Indian citizens, and those excluded will become stateless and most probably placed in camps or deported to other countries. That begs the question — how will the more than 200 million Indian Muslims prove that they are Indian citizens? The uninformed living in more developed countries may think that surely the Indian Muslims can provide proof of their Indian nationality. Along with the Indian Muslims, a very large number of Indian Hindus, Sikhs, Christians, Buddhists and other non-Muslims have been resolutely opposing the CAA/NRC.
