NaMo should outsource it to VHP to make the determination if some applicant for refugee status is a Hindu, thus persecuted in Bangladesh, or a Muslim. VHP can use their own methods or outsource the case further to say Bajrang Dal, etc.
I dont want to go off topic, but this whole thing was either politically very smart or it is absolute harakiri.
1. He was making this point very clear in areas of assam which have substantial bengali hindu population and in areas of bengal which have huge no. of hindu refugees and did not want to offend them when he talks about bangladeshi infiltration.
2. It is almost impossible in a country like India to monitor what religion these people follow after they are let in, so my guess is Modi govt will accept very limited no. of refugees on a case by case basis and screen them very well before letting them in. When i say limited, I am talking in the range of maybe 10000 people per year at max.
3. The reason I am warning about harakiri is simple: His line of thinking is very similar to lot of people on this forum and many VHP/RSS people I know who express a lot of concern for hindus outside of India who feel that if India cannot guarantee their safety in their respective countries, we need give them shelter despite being already overpopulated to the hilt. The problem with this logic is that, this was the same logic that Jan Sangh applied after 1971 to force congress/communists to grant citizenship to bangladeshi refugee hindus in WB/Assam. The communists and congress smartly accepted it and slowly over the years they allowed everyone under the cover and we watched like sitting ducks. Now as long as BJP govt is in power, probably we wont do such harakiri, but if in the future, some other pseudo secular party comes to power, then can abuse this law and say, we are truly secular and open the doors to Rohingya muslims (who btw will be called as refugees as they are fleeing from buddhist majority burma).
4. This is a very big risk BJP/Namo has taken and I have had heated debates with people who have similar line of thought. IMHO, if we can help the hindus in countries where they are persecuted by forcing their respective governments (economic sanctions, military stand off etc..) that is fine. But I am not a proponent of this opening the doors. Bangladesh has roughly 15 million hindus, are you going take in 15 million people into India at tax payers expense. This whole idea is ridiculous. It can work only if India deports 1 muslim (an Indian muslim citizen, this cannot be counted against the muslim bangladeshi being deported) for every hindu coming in from a muslim country.
5. Overall in India you will find a lot of support for deporting all bangladeshis as long as you dont add statements like hindu bangladeshsis can stay and muslims should leave.
6. you give the secular lobby a stick to beat you up with and force you not to deport muslim bangladeshis also.
I hope they are just giving sound bytes on hindu refugees for those areas in wb and assam for election purposes, and get about this task seriously after elections. But anyway the damage has been done by officially talking about hindu refugees, because I am sure the govt after Namo will go ahead and use that as a yardstick and sign the UN refugee convention and start accepting refugees from everywhere. Misguided sense of hindu unity is going to destroy India forever this way.
I say deport them all hindu or muslim bangladeshi and reduce India's population. India should try and partition a thin strip within bangladesh and make it all hindu which will also serve as a buffer between India and Bangladesh.
