When we are conveniently not taught about partition and blood shed and only taught to celebrate our Independence day without remembering the blood shed and hell of partition. Going by his argument, we should not implement any of the subsidy programs because not ALL 'below property line' people get the subsidy. Some are excluded because scope of subsidy is set to a certain budget Limit, whereas if we need to satisfy ALL, we don't have enough budget. We should not implement any of the subsidy programs because they donot cover ALL below the BPL line. We should wait until our budget grows and is enough to cover ALL the BPL. (We are not treating all unequals equally). How did our Indian education system produce these "Twisted Literates". I thought we had to deal with only "pseudo secularists" and "urban naxals".

Sir, I looked up "Sri Lanka's Constitution of 1978 with Amendments through 2010" This is what I found. CHAPTER II BUDDHISM 9. The Republic of Sri Lanka shall give to Buddhism the foremost place and accordingly it shall be the duty of the State to protect and foster the Buddha Sasana, while assuring to all religions the rights granted by Articles 10 and 14(1)(e). I'm no law expert but I would assume that Srilanka though has given special privileges to Buddhism, but It does not have an offical state religion. Waiting for your clarification on the subject.

The stranger The intelligible differentia argument under reasonable classification was covered when the object of this bill is to give asylum to the minorities. The fact that they are minorities in those countries is a reasonable classification, even if the bill mentioned a single religion it would’ve passed the legal test. That’s my reading.

[@user-ft5jp1ot2h]

@@Vishal- But this bill doesn't pass the following tests 1.why only those 3 countries? 2. Is there only persecution in the name of religion? What about language or race?(Sri Lankan Tamils) This shows that the bill is discriminatory in all aspects picking certain countries you wish and leaving aside others.

[@Vishal-]

The stranger the solicitor general argued in court that these countries were a part of India so the ethnic argument was accepted by the judge. The fact that the magnanimity of any bill is a matter of policy. You cannot say that include other countries as well like Uganda. This particular bill only deals with persecution on the basis of religion the other forms of persecution on the basis of political believes etc like the Sri Lankan problem where the asylum granted to some by the un was on the basis of political persecution not religious. This is not an essay writing competition that you’ll just suffix “hence proved” , the application of law is different then every semiliterate without a law degree trying to interpret it the way they want to. The act is drafted well and it’ll pass the article 14 test.

[@user-ft5jp1ot2h]

@@Vishal- The countries where part of India. When did they announce Afghanistan as a part of India before? The reasons you mentioned clearly shows that this bill is discriminatory in nature. I never asked to grant for the people of Uganda, Indian Citizenship. My question on what basis they picked up only these countries? If it's religious persecution the Rohingyas must also be included in this. But they are not included. That's why it's discriminatory. I'm not against the law which provides citizenship to refugees. But religion shouldn't be a criteria for that. It destroys the concept of secularism.

[@pleindevie7901]

@Hari Om what is Sanatana darma ?

[@akhiljames3435]

@Hari Om Yes some Muslims are persecuted in Islamic countries on the basis of their religious beliefs and while making a law you cannot tell them to just convert and leave your faith. When making a law on giving citizenship to people affected by religious persecution you have to consider all who are affected by it. Your argument is similar to tell all Hindus to convert to Islam in Islamic countries then they can leave peacefully ...that is not right and you know it so then telling all Muslims who are persecuted to leave their religion is also not right.

. How can a person acquire Indian citizenship? A: According to the Ministry of Home Affairs, there are four ways in which Indian citizenship can be acquired: birth, descent, registration and naturalisation. The provisions are listed under sections 3, 4, 5(1) and 5(4) of the Citizenship Act, 1955. By birth: 1. Every person born in India on or after 26.01.1950 but before 01.07.1987 is an Indian citizen irrespective of the nationality of his/her parents. 2. Every person born in India between 01.07.1987 and 02.12.2004 is a citizen of India given either of his/her parents is a citizen of the country at the time of his/her birth. 3. Every person born in India on or after 3.12.2004 is a citizen of the country given both his/her parents are Indians or at least one parent is a citizen and the other is not an illegal migrant at the time of birth. By registration: Citizenship can also be acquired by registration. Some of the mandatory rules are: 1. A person of Indian origin who has been a resident of India for 7 years before applying for registration. 2. A person of Indian origin who is a resident of any country outside undivided India. 3. A person who is married to an Indian citizen and is ordinarily resident for 7 years before applying for registration. 4. Minor children of persons who are citizens of India. By descent: 1. A person born outside India on or after January 26, 1950 is a citizen of India by descent if his/her father was a citizen of India by birth. 2. A person born outside India on or after December 10, 1992, but before December 3, 2004 if either of his/her parent was a citizen of India by birth. 3. If a person born outside India or or after December 3, 2004 has to acquire citizenship, his/her parents have to declare that the minor does not hold the passport of another country and his/her birth is registered at an Indian consulate within one year of birth. By naturalisation: A person can acquire citizenship by naturalisation if he/she is ordinarily resident of India for 12 years (throughout 12 months preceding the date of application and 11 years in the aggregate) and fulfils all qualifications in the third schedule of the Citizenship Act. Q. Can an Indian citizen hold dual citizenship? How? A: The amended Citizenship Act of 1955 does not provide for dual citizenship or dual nationality. It only allows citizenship for a person listed under the provisions above ie: by birth, descent, registration or naturalisation. Q. How does the citizenship become invalid? A: Section 9 of the Citizenship Act, 1955 deals with termination. According to the provision, any citizen of India, who by registration, naturalisation or otherwise voluntarily takes the citizenship of another country, shall upon such acquisition cease to be a citizen of India. Cases of termination or cessation of citizenship will be determined ultimately by courts of law.

[@satvikdash7227]

Article 14 provides that state shall not deny to any person equality before the law and equal protection of laws within the territory of India. The article does not provide for absolute mathematical equality but allows equal treatment to equals and reasonable classification for the purpose of lawmaking. Supreme Court in Clarence Pais v. Union of India held that ‘Historical reasons may justify differential treatment of separate geographical regions provided it bears a reason and just relation to the matter in respect of which differential treatment is accorded.’ So legislation will not be violative of Article 14 merely because it makes a differentiation between various geographical regions. Such legislation is valid and constitutionally sound if there are historical reasons for such differentiation and there is a just relation between the reason and the matter in respect of which differentiation is made. The CAA creates a class of persons belonging to certain religions that are in minority in 3 countries. So there is differentiation on a geographical basis and there is a historic justification of such differentiation and also there is a clear Nexus between this justification and the matter for which differentiation is accorded. Let’s go step by step, The class is of people who are Hindus, Jains, Parsis, Buddhists, Christians and who have come to India from Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh. This class is of people 1) belonging to minorities 2) coming to India on or before 31 Dec 2014 3) persecuted in their country on the basis of religion 4) Coming from the countries that have a specific official state religion and that share borders with India. So the class is well defined. The matter in respect of which the classification is made is giving citizenship of India. The historic justification is the factum of partition on religious grounds and this subcontinent having ben one nation once. The Nexus is clear, the injustice suffered by people having their roots in India due to partition and the promise made to keep our doors open. This, CAA is very much in consonance with the Idea of India, the idea of humanity and the idea of Justice to our people. When connected with NRC, it gives added protection to this class of people and that’s all. NRC if implemented will simply result in the deportation of illegal immigrants who do not belong to this class and who belong to this class but haven’t availed to the opportunity of applying for Indian citizenship. If you feel letting illegal migrants stay here and get citizenship then that’s a completely different topic. But if you feel CAA is violative of the right to equality, you are mistaken, misinformed and wrong.

@@vishwamohini9714 whoops. Sorry. I heard him enough times. Just another extroverted loud-mouth who keeps repeating his own perspectives and keeps blaring the same arguments. Keeps bhakts happy. He's smart, just like most of Hitler's close aides. Wish he had taken the secular, patriot route, would've been more inclusive and tolerant.

As school, colleges, offices etc. Maintain register to monitor their people, why can't a nation do it ? Watch NRC with simpl language kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJLRi3R3n92Aj9E NRC should be implemented all over India, Nation needs it's own register to know who are Indian citizens and those are illegal immigrants. Jai Hind

[@akashverma5756]

Also explain Article 15 which cantradicts Article 14. If CAA is not constitutional, Reservation should also be unconstitutional.

[@RA-pf2mt]

Persecuted minority in three countries could be given Indian citizenship without Amending Indian citizenship Act..Feku want to polarize the country ...

[@kdksinghsingh8375]

Then why is minority given reservation if everyone is equal

[@anukreddi]

Muslims, if they are indeed illegal immigrants from these three countries, aren't situated equally, if they are from countries which have non-secular constitutions which treat them preferentially, and others irrespective of whether they are illegal immigrants or not, aren't situated equally because they will be discriminated in those countries. It is a reasonable classification.

[@SaiPavanKumar19]

CAA is constitutional Article 15 will not apply to non citizens of India However article 14 applies but both persecutor and victim can not taken on same ground Which means unequals can not be treated equally It will not hurt secularism because state is not asking people to convert but it gives you religious freedom to illegal migrants

[@raahinyapratapsingh1629]

In this country people march in azad maidan for Rohingyas and some people move to court for them But same empathy is not shown when hindus have to levae their motherland (pakistan bangladesh and afganistan) due to religious persecution and seek shelter in india Or when Kashmiri pandits have to leave their hometowns CAA was ment to give accelerated citizenship to those non muslims who due to their religious identity are being persecuted in in these three countries Those against CAA are are basically religious fanacits(जिहादी) as they want that non muslims in these countries should convert to islam And they don't believe that any one other than a muslims should have any right to life And while the Rohingyas should be given asiyalam in India but non muslims who are perscicuted in these muslim countries should not be given citizenship in india They believe in muslim *umma* wherein evey muslim of any country of the world is their brothers and all the non believers (of islam) who do not believe in their God are *वजिबुल कतल*(their murdered is justified) hence their religious perscicution in pakistan bangladesh and afganistan is justified and they should not be given citizenship in india They feel non muslims don't have any rights and are a lessser human being Whatever be the logics that they have invented to protest against the CAA but this जिहादी agenda was the only motivation for their protest against the CAA

(Where equals and unequals are treated differently article 14 does not applies.) That means Article 14 forbids class legislation but it does permit reasonable classification of person, objects and transactions by the law. Infact the Classification must be based on Doctrine of Intelligible differential. Anyone who belongs to Hindu, Muslim, Sikh , Buddhist, Jains, Christian from Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh who have entered india before 31 dec 2014 shall not be treated as Illegal immigrants.

[@espotter-zu7pp]

Population Registry is totally different from National Census. The establishment steadily changing cenus to registry. Corporate India in making, company style administration in waiting. The npr guidance also say, Each individual should be verified and scrutinized by local registrar. The individual who are doubtful would be heard by registrar at sub district or taluk registrar. Final decision of exclusion from citizenship should be made within 90 day. So if a national is not able to take up the registration, are any error mistake happen with census personal or even due to vague reasons a national would go citizenless for time in his homeland and it is upto individuals wish when the citizenship would granted back thus turn whole process to a weird joke. A national id card would be issued atlast. Already aadhaar is implemented were almost have database of whole population. Why a duplicate process?
