Nearly 2 million Indians could be made stateless

About 1.9 million people have been left out of the National Register of Citizens published by authorities on August 31, 2019, in India’s northeastern state of Assam.

Those not included in the list identifying a total of 31.1 million people as legal residents of the state could be considered stateless and staying in the country illegally unless they provide proof of citizenship within 120 days.

Whether minority or majority whoever has entered India illegally will be thrown out.

I hope they're not targetting minority for the sake of their own interest by injustice politicians. Just remember to be kind to each other.

Dang that first guy really connected with me. You rarely see those people in news or interviews.

They're not "targeting" anybody... it's a list of legal citizens.

The thing is, many of the Hindus from Bangladesh have also infiltrated India and those who did had gone through worst phase in their life already. A well to do family will almost have no problem with these measures, it's only the poor and helpless people who will be affected with such a move, irrespective of their religion.

Either Hindu Or Muslim or Sikh...
Anybody who entered in India illegally should be deported....
We have large number of poor population who belong to us so it is better to uplift our own people.
NRC for India...

[djoys]

There are courts and other ways to prove their nativity. Those not in list, if indians can use this.

[ilovelimpfries]

Indians are racists towards other minority Indians? This is from a country that still practices the caste system. Shocking, i know.

[Bunks-du]

Then what happen to the stateless people? Where they'll deport to? How if they also not recognized as citizen there?

[babimangab]

But... But... How?? Democracy is the most perfect system in the world..

Really only Assam accepted illegal Bangladeshi immigrants from 1951 to 24 march 1971...rest of India it is 1951. These illegal Bangladeshi immigrants are responsible for the creation of unrest and formation of Maoist rebels in Assam/Northeast. Hope correct NRC will solve many problems and bring peace to the region.

[sorrymuchepatanahitha]

There are around 200 millions (20 crores) Muslims refugee in India 😠😠😠

[jaywalker]

Mugal should be cut down these people long time ago.

[MrGauraverma]

Miss you have to make yourself cost about news... Names of not excluded from nrc, but we're not there because 19lacs people infiltrate Indian border.

[khangrikyiduk]

Among 2 million 1.5 million are Hindu Bangladeshi so world can get over with minority issues. Bangladesh gov. teach their citizen to use quality condoms. 2 Million people is not joke. Most smaller country dont even have this size of population

Coming illegally in any country isn't right but sometimes I feel sorry when they've to face such things.
