Inhalt:

On December 11,2019 the Narendra Modi government in India enacted the Citizenship Amendment Act 2019 (CAA) which makes it easier to grant Indian citizenship to Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis and Christians from the named Islamic countries of Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan where they continue to be persecuted. This simple humanitarian act provoked unrest, violent in parts, in certain sections of Indian society and raised eyebrows abroad- a response to a great degree prompted by lack of information and misrepresentation. The CAA is being projected, again falsely, as a prelude to a possible National Register of Citizens (The NRC which is years or decades in the offing) which will then supposedly be used to target Muslims in particular. None of this even subscribes to basic common sense. The degree of ignorance that drives public discourse in India is astounding. The anti CAA-NRC protests are no different. Public intellectuals fueling the current controversy are either really unaware of the details or are deliberately distorting the picture. Whatever be the case, the issue needs urgent clarification especially to dispel the unfounded fears among the legitimate Muslim citizens of India and liberate them from a web of unwanted insecurity.
