Dated: 4th January, 2019 RAJENDRA AGRAWAL Place: New Delhi CHAIRPERSON JOINT COMMITTEE ON THE CITIZENSHIP (AMENDMENT) BILL, 2016 7 I. INTRODUCTORY Citizenship is the legal right to belong to a particular country. In other words, citizenship bestows upon individuals membership in a national political community. According to Aristotle "The State is a compound made of citizens; and this compels us to consider who should properly be called a citizen and what a citizen really is. The nature of Citizenship like that of the State, is a question which is often disputed; there is no general agreement on a single definition; the man who is a citizen in democracy is often not one in an oligarchy." National citizenship in a democracy matters because the right to vote and run for office in national elections is extremely consequential in all countries. Non-citizens, even if they are permanent residents and long-time workers, have no opportunity to participate in the democratic process at the national level. Eventual integration of immigrants into the host society makes national citizenship much more significant because the different possibilities to acquire citizenship will have lasting and varied implications for the long-term integration of immigrants. Further, the ultimate resolution of the demographic problem depends on how countries define and enforce their respective citizenship policies. In short, national citizenship remains an essential and enduring feature of modern life in terms of politics and elections, welfare state benefits, all round integration etc. 1.2 Liberal democracies are based on the universal language of fundamental human rights along with the free association and participation of 'the people', yet they also delineate clear and enforceable boundaries, both in terms of territory and political membership. In essence, the paradox is that liberal democracies are internally inclusive while remaining externally exclusive. The right of citizenship so far as India is concerned had started only with the advent of independence. During the British Rule, Indians virtually had no such right. They were governed normally by the British Citizenship and Alien Rights Act of 1914. That Act was modified later and it was repealed in 1948. In fact, Indians did not have any law of citizenship. Only an act of naturalization was passed in 1928 which was meant more for the benefit of persons coming from abroad. Apart from that, no law relating to registration or naturalization or otherwise was adopted in India. India, had to face the same dilemma even after the Constitution of 8 India was adopted and enacted by the Constituent Assembly on the twenty-sixth day of November, 1949, as there was no law prescribing acquisition and termination of citizenship and related matters. 1.3 Part II of the Constitution relates to Citizenship of India. Articles 5 to 9 of the Constitution determine who are Indian citizens at the commencement of the Constitution. Article 10 provides for their continuance as such citizens subject to the provisions of any law that may be made by Parliament.

July, 1982 NatyaBhavan EE 8, Sector 2, Salt Lake, Kolkata 700091/ Call 033 23217667 visit us at http://www.natyashodh.org https://sites.google.com/view/nssheritagelibrary/home (Amol Palekar&ChitraPalekar came a little late and joined the discussionregarding the scope of theatre and the different forms a playwright tries to explore.) ChitraPalekar It is not that you cannot do a thing. You can do anything, you can do anything. It is not the point. The point is that the basic advantage that cinema has over theatre, the whole mass of audience, you know, all those eight hundred or nine hundred people he can put them to a close-up. This tableau we still see in theatre sitting as a design in a particular frame but here you can break that frame, you can go closer and he can focus your attention on just a little point here and a gesture here, and a gesture there and you know, on stage you will have to show with a torch yet it won’t be visible. Amol Palekar The point is …..Obviously two points come to my mind. First and foremost, suppose you are able to do it, and you are able to hold the audience then why not. The question is – yes, you do it for two hours, just keep one tableau and somebody the off sound is there. If that can hold then I think it will be a perfect valid theatre, why not? Bimal Lath Could it be that we can make 10 plays the same way? Amol Palekar Yes, why not? In fact I think on this issue I will say something which will immediately start a big fight so I will purposely started not for the sake of fight but because I believe in it also.

  • Vyasa Puja Offerings
    VYASA PUJA OFFERINGS 91ST Vyasa Puja of HDG Srila Bhakti Ballabh Tirtha Maharaja This publication is dedicated to the most holy lotus feet of His Divine Grace Srila Bhakti Ballabh Tirtha Goswami Maharaja, who, out of his causeless mercy, has descended into this material world as the direct representative of Supreme Lord Sri Krishna to rescue the fallen souls. His Divine Grace Srila Bhakti Ballabh Tirtha Goswami Maharaja has devoted his entire life to the promulgation of the glories of Sri Krishna while implicitly following the instructions of his diksha and siksha gurus, His Divine Grace Srila Bhakti Dayita Madhava Goswami Maharaja and His Divine Grace Srila Bhakti Pramode Puri Goswami Maharaja, respectively. He is recognized by all Gaudiya Vaishnavas as one of the greatest acharyas of this era. His praises are most deserved, as, along with many other things, he possesses a vast knowledge of shastra and its inner devotional meaning with an acute ability to communicate this knowledge effectively to all persons regardless of their backgrounds or predispositions. This efficacy of preaching is largely due to his sincere humility and warm, affectionate character, which transforms knowledge into feeling—an actual taste of the Transcendent. Therefore, while desiring nothing for himself, he has garnered the love and respect of all who meet him, especially of those who are making a serious effort to follow his superlative personal example and ideals. His Divine Grace’s active preaching activities have now drawn to a close and he has entered into internal lila, yet his presence and influence are undiminished externally and he continues to be a leader among men—a stalwart and imposing figure among the followers of the message of divine love of Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.

  • Talks with Ramana Maharshi
    TALKS WITH SRI RAMANA MAHARSHI Volume One FOREWORD* The “Talks”, first published in three volumes, is now issued a handy one-volume edition. There is no doubt that the present edition will be received by aspirants all over the world with the same veneration and regard that the earlier edition elicited from them. This is not a book to be lightly read and laid aside; it is bound to prove to be an unfailing guide to increasing numbers of pilgrims to the Light Everlasting. We cannot be too grateful to Sri Munagala S. Venkataramiah (now Swami Ramanananda Saraswati) for the record that he kept of the “Talks” covering a period of four years from 1935 to 1939. Those devotees who had the good fortune of seeing Bhagavan Ramana will, on reading these “Talks”, become naturally reminiscent and recall with delight their own mental record of the words of the Master. Despite the fact that the great Sage of Arunachala taught for the most part through silence, he did instruct through speech also, and that too lucidly without baffling and beclouding the minds of his listeners. One would wish that every word that he uttered had been preserved for posterity. But we have to be thankful for what little of the utterances has been put on record. These “Talks” will be found to throw light on the “Writings” of the Master; and probably it is best to study them along with the “Writings”, translations of which are available. Sri Ramana’s teachings were not given in general. In fact, the Sage had no use for “lectures” or “discourses”.

  • The Politics of Perception and the Citizenship Amendment Act 2019
    The Politics of Perception and the Citizenship Amendment Act 2019 Malini Bhattacharjee* The contours of politics often get shaped not so much on the basis of the actual impact of certain policies but more by the perceptions about their impact by different stakeholders. The Citizenship Amendment Act of 2019 and the controversy it has created is an important example in this regard. As Assam, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and West Bengal gear up for State Assembly elections this year, the CAA is back in public discourse and will possibly be a turning point in deciding the electoral outcomes in at least some states, if not more. Some analysts have argued that the CAA is likely to have an important impact in the elections of Assam as the CAA-NRC controversy has its genesis in Assam and because the sentiment against the ‘foreigner’ has been the highest in the region since several decades now owing to historical reasons. As is the case with several contemporary debates in India, the outlines of the CAA-NRC discourse continue to be framed within the binary walls of secularism vis-à-vis communalism. What appears to be missing in this debate is a serious intellectual reflection on how the CAA validates or deflects from the conceptual idea of citizenship in contemporary times. The larger normative rationale behind the objective of protecting the rights of religious minorities fleeing persecution from neighbouring countries has also been side-lined. While several analysts have criticised the CAA for being unjust to the north eastern states and for violating the Assam Accord, the question of refugees fleeing from erstwhile East Pakistan and Bangladesh has not been sufficiently well examined.

In particular, we are interested in the location and evident mobility of the category of religion in terms of the social relations and spatial scales that configure the relevant cityscapes. At the Peepul Centre in Leicester, for instance, the public visibility of neighbourhood institutions and places of worship came to the fore amidst discussion of the struggles to remake home abroad. Exchanges at Bradford‟s Mumtaz restaurant, by extension, demonstrated the impact of high profile arguments about the public recognition of religious belief and practice by the local state, with the Manchester event at the Indus 5 restaurant also underlining the growing national importance of a discourse of faith in education and the governance of community relations.
