He amended the Citizenship Act of 1955 to provide a pathway to Indian citizenship for illegal migrants from Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Parsi and Christian religious minorities who fled persecution from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan until December 2014. Muslims from these countries have not been granted such a right. This act was the first time that religion was often used as a criterion for citizenship under Indian law. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which heads the Indian government, has promised in previous election manifestos to offer Indian citizenship to members of persecuted religious minorities who have migrated from neighbouring countries. Under the 2019 amendment, migrants who entered India by 31 December 2014 and suffered from religious persecution or fear of religious persecution in their country of origin were entitled to citizenship. The amendment also relaxed the requirement to live for the naturalization of these migrants from twelve to six years. According to the Intelligence Bureau, there will be just over 30,000 direct beneficiaries of the bill. The amendment was widely criticized as discriminatory on the basis of religion, especially for the exclusion of Muslims. The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) called it fundamentally discriminatory, adding that while India's goal of protecting persecuted groups is welcome, this should be achieved through a non-discriminatory non-discriminatory national asylum system. Critics have expressed fears that the bill will be used alongside the National Register of Citizens (NRC) to make many Muslim citizens aer, as they be unable to meet the strict requirements for birth or identity. Commentators also question the exclusion of persecuted religious minorities from other regions such as Tibet, Sri Lanka and Myanmar. The Indian government says that Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh have Islam as their state religion, and therefore Muslims are unlikely to face religious persecution there. However, some Muslim groups, such as Hazaras, have historically faced persecution in these countries. The adoption of the law sparked mass protests in India. Assam and other northeastern states have seen violent demonstrations against the bill over fears that granting Indian citizenship to refugees and immigrants would lead to the loss of their political rights, culture and land rights and would motivate further migration from Bangladesh. In other parts of India, protesters claimed that the bill discriminated against Muslims and demanded that Indian citizenship be granted to Muslim refugees and immigrants. Major protests against the law were held at universities in India. Muslim University students Aligarha and Jamia Milli Islamiyah claimed that the police had brutally killed her. The protests resulted in the deaths of several demonstrators, injuries to protesters and police officers, damage to public and private property, the detention of hundreds of people and the suspension of local Internet phones in some areas. Some states have announced that they will not comply with the law. The Home Office said states did not have the legal authority to stop the CAA. The Indian Constitution's Reference Citizenship Act, which was introduced in 1950, guaranteed citizenship to all citizens at the beginning of the Constitution and made no distinction on the basis of religion. The Indian government passed the Citizenship Act in 1955. The law provides for two means of obtaining Indian citizenship by foreigners. After seven years of living in India, people from indivised India were provided with registration facilities. Those from other countries received naturalization funds after twelve years of living in India. The political events of the 1980s, particularly those related to the violent movement of Assam against all migrants from Bangladesh, triggered changes to the Citizenship Act of 1955. The Citizenship Act was first amended in 1985 following the signing of the Assam Agreement, under which the Indian Government of Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi agreed to identify foreign nationals, remove them from their pre-election roles and expel them from the country. Additional amendments were made to the Citizenship Act in 1992, 2003, 2005 and 2015. In December government of the National Democratic Alliance led by Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Janata (BJP) passed the Citizenship (Amendment) Act 2003 with far-reaching changes to the Citizenship Act. He added the notion of illegal immigrants to the Act by making them ineligible to apply for citizenship (by registration or naturalization) and declaring their children also illegal immigrants. Illegal immigrants were identified as citizens of other countries who entered India without valid travel documents, or who remained in the country after the period permitted by their travel documents. They may be deported or imprisoned. The 2003 amendment also affected the Government of India to establish and maintain a National Register of Citizens. The bill was supported by the Indian National Congress as well as leftist parties such as the Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI(M). During the parliamentary debate on the amendment, opposition leader Manmohan Singh stated that refugees belonging to minority communities in Bangladesh and elsewhere had faced persecution and asked that governments' approach to granting them citizenship should become more liberal. According to M.K. Venu, the wording of the 2003 amendment being discussed by Adwani and Singh was based on the idea that Muslim groups in Pakistan and Afghanistan that had experienced persecution should also be treated with compassion. Immigrants and refugees very large number of illegal immigrants, the largest of whom are from Bangladesh, live in India. The Border Management Task Force reported 15 million illegal migrants in 2001. In 2004, the government of the United Progressive Alliance (ICD) told parliament that there were 12 million illegal Bangladeshi migrants in India. Reasons for the scale of migration include porous borders, historical migration patterns, economic causes, cultural and linguistic links. Many illegal migrants from Bangladesh eventually gained the right to vote.

We have got rather into the habit of thinking of democracy at the top and not so much below. Democracy at the top will not be a success unless it is built on the foundations from below”.---- Jawaharlal Nehru. The success of a democratic system largely depends upon the existence and efficient operation of a system of Local Self-Governments at the grassroot levels. The democratic and ideals of Decentralisation, development and increased continuous and active popular participation of in the process of nation building can be possible only through the organisation and efficient working system of local government. In fact, each part of India whether Rural or Urban is being locally administered for the satisfaction of local needs by a local government. The makers our constitution were fully aware of the imperative necessity of organising a system of local self- government at the grassroot level and using it as a solid foundation for ensuring the stability, strength and health of the Indian liberal democratic political system.

  • Friends with Benefits: on AP's 'Special Category' Status
    www.thehindu.com 2018-03-09 Friends with benefits: on AP's 'special category' status In politics, there is nothing such as friendship without benefits. Ever since it became clear that the Centre was unable to grant Andhra Pradesh “special category” status, the Telugu Desam Party was under pressure to break off ties with the Bharatiya Janata Party and make a public show of its protest. With the main opposition in the State, the YSR Congress Party, taking a belligerent stance on the issue, the TDP could not afford to give the impression that it continued to be a part of the government at the Centre without being able to wrest benefits for A.P. But even as he withdrew his ministers from the Central government, Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu stopped short of leading his party out of the National Democratic Alliance headed by the BJP. The exit, when it happens, will be after another display of disaffection with the Centre’s attitude towards A.P. Clearly, the TDP is keen to demonstrate that it did everything possible in the interest of this fledgling State before walking out of the NDA. Although Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley clarified that it was no longer possible to confer “special category” status on States after the Centre accepted the recommendation of the 14th Finance Commission, Mr. Naidu appears to blame the Centre’s reluctance on its majority in the Lok Sabha and the resulting lack of dependence on allied parties. In short, in the eyes of the TDP, the denial of special status is a political decision, deserving of a political response.

III || Aug. 2019 || PP 20-26 How Caste And Class Factor’s Affected The 2019 Verdict Rishi Kumar (Research Scholar, Department of Political Science, HP University Shimla-5) ABSTRACT: Elections represent the general will of the people as expressed in their votes. In the 17th Lok Sabha elections National Democratic Alliance (NDA) represent a cross-section of the Indian urban as well as rural elite. This social basis can be identified through the criterion of caste but there is an element of class in it. The decline of the Congress party and the rise of the BJP to power, created the possibility of a new kind of cleavage based politics. This elections are also about the lessening of caste factors and the rise of class consciousness. There is a specific desire for a “better” class identity along with retaining the order caste one. The BJP has effectively projected the idea of a „new India‟ that is a land of hope and opportunity, downplaying the welfare state upon which most people‟s well-being depends. Thus, Present work is an endeavour to understand that how caste and class factors affected the 2019 verdict.

In the INC’s rock-inspired election theme “Ab Hoga Nyay”, “NYAY” stands for the party’s flagship scheme guaranteeing minimum income, and is also the opposite of “anyay” which signifies the present state of affairs. Both parties recorded songs in multiple Indian languages. Regional campaigns provide interesting examples of less mass-oriented, more localised music.
