Persecution is decided by a religious test. It stands to reason that #CAB addresses this fact.
PS: #CitizenshipAmmendmentBill2019 protects persecuted non-Muslims. Citizenship Act of #India places *NO* bar on Muslims from anywhere in the world from seeking shelter or citizenship.

The basic of religious persecution is THE religious test. The iconic pungi test photo from Bangladesh war of independence serves as a reminder if one was needed.

Initially I was upset with the Government's seeming hands-off attitude to resolving JNU fracas even when things were getting out of hand with illegal confinment of Teachers, etc. AND then it hit me .. GOI wanted the students to overplay their hand till things reached a crisis point at which point it would be "forced" to act against the "miscreants".

Lo jee, GOI's patience has started paying off, definitely not in the way I expected but in the right direction. That it is via the courts is even better. The Left rif-raffs wanted a clash with GOI that they could then portray as an attack on an Academic institution and dissent. Now when the same things will happen under court order and watch they cannot claim victimization .. at least their claims will carry much less conviction because of the courts intervention. Well played GOI.

JNU protest: Vice-chancellor and officials given police protection by Delhi high court

NEW DELHI: Noting that “lockdown of a university couldn’t be permitted”, Delhi high court on Wednesday ordered round-the-clock police protection for the vice-chancellor and administrative staff of Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) to enable them to enter the main office building, allegedly blocked by protesting students. {Polizze on the campus on court orders! No GOI in the picture.}

Justice Pratibha M Singh observed, “Considering that JNU is a functioning university, such a lockdown of the university building cannot be permitted.” She issued the direction to police after being informed by the university that its registrar had been unable to enter the administrative block.

However, the high court also stressed that the administration ought to engage with the students and advised that “if possible, such an engagement should take place today itself” so that the face-off could be defused.

The court cited a 2017 order banning protests within 100m radius of the administrative block to point out that “if any protest has to be undertaken, the same would have to be beyond the 100m radius in a manner so as to not hamper the functioning of the university.” {And with Bolice standing guard .. Massa ullu }

Acknowledging that in usual circumstances “police ought not to be encouraged to enter a university campus”, Justice Singh underlined, “If the protest has taken the shape of a complete lockdown as is being expressed by the registrar, police have to ensure that law and order is maintained on the campus since ingress and egress to the administrative block cannot be stopped in any manner whatsoever.”

The court was constrained to issue the order after it was informed by the JNU administration that it could not file its response despite court orders in a sexual harassment case involving two professors due to blocked access to the building. {Well played}

JNU’s lawyer Monika Arora and Delhi Police’s advocate Rahul Mehra were asked to ensure the directions were complied with. During the hearing, Arora informed the court that despite a high court order of August 2017 directing students to protest 100m away from the administrative block and not block access to the building, the staff had been unable to access the building {Court, Lawyer and Police on the same side are a formidable combination, not to be taken lightly. Not to say that the riff-raffs cannot try new antics but this combo is one that has to be dealt with very carefully.}

Arora added that examinations were about to start and lockdown of the administrative block was posing challenges. Mehra assured the court that police would comply with the orders and also suggested that the administration must try and talk to the students to resolve the issue.

The university had separately filed a contempt of court plea against the students and police for allegedly violating a court order barring protests within 100m of the administrative block. It has said that the students “grossly violated” the 2017 order affecting JNU’s day-to-day working, which had been disrupted since October 28.

It was also claimed that police violated the order by refusing and failing to take action to maintain law and order in the university and remove the blockade around the administrative block. {University Admin with GOI and Police with GOI and yet Admin files a contempt of court plea against the bolice! .. Saab mile huan hai jee ... to create a situation such that court intervention became necessary. Theek hai.}

Every sub-continental Muslim except a few, have been hurt, now hat GOI has openly accepted that non-Muslims were persecuted by Muslims. It was placed on the record at a place no less that the parliament of India.

The victim-card will be damaged by this one act of the GOI. Bangladeshi and Afghanis will come back after a show of protest for their internal audience.

The biggest shock will be felt in India and Bakistan and the after-effects will be long-lasting. No more one-sided rudali and victim-card at any level. Every Hindu will can go into any discussion on persecution in the subcontinent and trade charge for charge backed by the official position of GOI/Parliament of India. For too long the crimes of one side was whitewashed and all the blame put on the other side.

CAB may be a simple bill but it has many other side-effects that will only be revealed with time.

IMO, this CAB thing is another big mistake.

I mean, what is preventing anyone from Pakistan or Bangladesh saying they are Hindu/Christian or whatever and claiming Indian citizenship? And even GOI they wanted to go this, they could have easily done it in a less polarizing way, by recognizing minority religions & not recognizing minority sects of majority religions (Shia’s, Ahmed isn’t etc) as a persecuted class.

There are ways to do this without blatantly and unnecessarily upsetting people.

Even with article 370, which was well executed- the aftermath was poorly handled (in my opinion). After a few months, they should have let people vent and blow off some steam and things would have returned to normal. But they tried to over-control it.

Demonetization turned out to be a futile exercise since all the back money ended up being laundered. It would have been far more effective to ban higher denomination notes.

GST was rushed out without anyone working out the details for SME’s who are having major cash-flow issues because of the way the payment cycle works.

All these things I mentioned, protecting minorities, article 370, cleaning up black money and GST - I support!!!

But the execution has been HORRIBLE to the point where with this latest move (CAB), I am thinking CAB was done in the most inflammatory way possible to whip up religious sentiments and cover up for a weak economy. As mentioned earlier, the same thing could have been done in a much less polarizing way.

I know there are many people who are fond of Modi here - but he is losing me. Friends, Religion is the last refuge of the scoundrel.

Pankaj...the point is like this. NRC was the outcome of a accord between GOI and assam student bodies that illegal migrants will be identfied and action taken on them so as to restore primacy of assamese folks which had been eroded by migration from bdesh. With CAB , objectives of assam accord/NRC have been nullified if the new arrangement does not restore what was envisaged as the outcome of assam accord. Now u may have a opinion of multiple fires across India ( which is mere speculation) vs a real outrage/fire amongst the people of NE/Assam. This somehow feels like its better if my neighbours house is on fire...does not matter as long as i am safe. NE has been a long festering wound and this move ( ie CAB which i support in toto) does not in someway meet the objectives of assam accord is likely to reopen the wounds once again. I am of the opinion that migrants need to be settled across india in a manner which preserves the character/culture of NE. Wether this is done by a policy or less intrusive measures is something which GOI needs to seriously look into.

Supratik · Post by **Supratik** » 12 Dec 2019 21:29

Please get your data correct before you discuss issues. Except Tripura (which had a long standing Bengali community that was invited to settle by their King long before partition) Bengali/Bdeshi Hindus have not altered the demography of any NE states. Places like Shillong had Bengali Hindu communities since at least the British period. Only Tripura has been affected where the large Bengali Hindu minority have become a big majority due to post-partition events. The CAB has ensured that they cannot settle in tribal areas of Tripura. As for Assam please get the numbers right. Of the 1.9 million NRC illegals only 5 lakh 40 thousand are Bdeshi Hindu. That is a very small number for Assam which has a legal population of 31 million. Most Bdeshi Hindus settle in Bengali dominant areas like Kachar in Assam (previously part of Sylhet - a Bengali area), Tripura and WB. Even then if the Assamese are worried govt can mandate that no "future" refugee will settle in the NE. They can do so by an amendment or by extending the autonomous areas of Assam (which are kept out of CAB) to cover most areas except Kachar. We Bengalies will be happy if they settle in WB where the demography will then improve.

RT.com reports: MAD a bit late with the CashMore solution in Assom?

Protests over a bill giving fast track Indian citizenship to non-Muslims have engulfed the state of Assam. The government responded with a redeployment of troops, curfews, and a suspension of internet services.
The protests in the northeastern state turned violent on Wednesday night after the Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB) was passed by the Indian parliament – now one presidential signature short of becoming law. People targeted the homes of high-ranking members of the ruling BJP party, who they accuse of discriminating against Muslims.
The government introduced of a 24-hour suspension of mobile internet services in some parts of Assam, which was ordered on Wednesday to prevent attempts to “inflame passions” through social media.

New Delhi says the CAB is necessary to protect persecuted minorities from Muslim-majority Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan - Hindus, Christians, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jain, and Parsis. It offers them an easy way to obtain Indian citizenship. The bill does not include Muslims in the six religious groups – the fact that prompted Muslims in Assam to voice their anger.

Tensions in Assam have grown rapidly over the week, with protesters switching from burning copies of the loathed piece of legislation to burning tires and cars. After the Wednesday night outburst, which happened in defiance of a curfew, the government in New Delhi sent troops from other parts of India. The troops restored order in the state capital, Guwahati, but protests continued on Thursday in other places.

Good news is that polis are not pussyfooting. Lathi-charge b4 the comms blackout..... good roads coming up in Arunachal.

I apparently have only an hour before they jam our internet. Since the national media won't show it, here are a few pictures from today's protest outside the Assam Secretariat, right before they started using water cannon & lathicharging us. Please spread the word that I am a piece of sh1t.

Reposting what I posted earlier. I am genuinely puzzled. Hence the repeat request.
Why are critics of the CAB saying that it is violative of Article 14 of the Constitution? The Constitution is a foundational law that people of India enacted to say that we as people of a nation will enact such laws and be governed by it as are in consonance with the Constitution. So it is clearly meant to apply to Indians. No person who is not an Indian can claim that the principle of equality before the law should apply to him/her. There is a reason why the Preamble of the Constitution says, 'We the people of India .....

I don't know the exact numbers but if we are to go by Supratik saars numbers, "illegal" Bangladshi Hindus as detected by the last NRC, doesn't make much of a difference to the Assam's pop mix as it stands today.

One arrangement, as I have suggested before, would to let the current lot be but confined them to only Bengali areas by making appropriate executive/legislative provisions at the same time ensuring by law no further settlement. Any new arrival will have a choice of Delhi or rest of India. Delhi is anyway a melting pot and should have no concerns on new arrivals.

NRC numbers for Assam.

Prospective population without NRC about 35.5 million. 31 million legal resident. 2.5 million have not applied. They have either gone back to Bdesh or migrated to other parts of India. 1.9 million declared illegal. Break-up is 5.5 lakh Bdeshi Hindu, 1 lakh Assamese, 1 lakh Nepali, 1.1 million Bdeshi Muslim. Now why do they want to repeat NRC in Assam again? It is because about 2 million Bdeshi illegals have fraudulently entered the NRC list. So actual population of Assam is about 29 million. Therefore number of illegals in Assam is about 6 to 6.5 million.

Point #1, the amended Act is only going to give immediate citizenship to people who are already in India before the year 2014. Which means that enough and more wetting would have been done. And this Act is not giving away citizenship without any proper scrutiny. Earlier it took more than 11 years for even making an attempt to get citizenship. Now they have made that it would be given after five years; but that would be following all the processes. The scenario of Pakis coming in as Hindus & Christians can only happen in two cases i) spying and for causing mischief in India - they any way do that ii) to take benefits of Indian economy, jobs etc.

they could have easily done it in a less polarizing way, by recognizing minority religions

That is slightly dicey. How can India decide which are the minority religions in neighbouring countries? Here they have drafted in such a way that there is no ambiguity at all.

Even with article 370, which was well executed- the aftermath was poorly handled (in my opinion). After a few months, they should have let people vent and blow off some steam and things would have returned to normal.

The Kashmiris have time and again proved that they are not trained to vent & blow off steam in a peaceful manner. Their protests have always been provocative and violent (and with a religious mindset). Trying to pacify them would not have worked out. But look at things right now. Every one has forgotten Kashmir and moved on. The Kashmiris too have started to smell coffee and now indulging in more appropriate pastimes (like doing a meaningful job etc.).

if you get a chance then go and visit the border areas.
It is a lucrative business for many people, especially peacefool ones to help/run the human smuggling business.
An "unofficial" policy can be introduced where successful tips for illegal encroachers can be rewarded - for both the security personnel and the civilians. And, rotate BSF units routinely and frequently. They get wined and dined by the local mafias.

Many many moons ago I suggested inducting more NE tribal youths in BSF specifically for guarding the Bangla border. They have a genuine will to prevent the illegal migrants to protect their own area.

2. Mislead people and provoke them to violence.

3. Signalling the furrin masters to reign Modi by setting the agenda and narrative. Notice how promptly the USCIRF sanction recommendation came.

I have examined and studied the demographic data. In my opinion the original number of 4.1 million illegal was correct. I suspect Congressis are behind the fraud that happened between 2018-2019. Only 2 million people are left to be detected. 2.5 million have already left or not applied. 1.7 million are under appeal. NRC has been successful and will be even more successful once the rest 2 million are identified. My guess is that a lot of propaganda by Congressis and other vested interests are going on in Assam and the BJP hasn't been able to present the real picture to the Assamese people. If the agitation is about future migration then best thing to do is to extend and implement sixth schedule.

Hugely encouraging aspects about the Citizenship Amendment Bill -

1. Indian citizenship is underlined.
2. Top leadership is on record and on the case that this affects non-Indians seeking Indian citizenship. Does not affect Indian citizens. Very different from previous episodes of religious conflict in India which were between Indian citizens.
3. Of course the Left is outraged. Having open borders has been an article of faith on the Left, IMO driven predominantly by the need to reduce recurring conflict in Europe.

Yes the cut off date is 31/12/2004. The act as it stands prior and after the amendment does not classify refugees, anyone legally in the country for 5 years is eligible to apply for citizenship. To close the loop, India should consider signing the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which will create a classification for potential refugees in the future and currently in the country after 2014. Hypothetically if those weeded out after a nationwide NRC exercise have arrived after 2014, they will have to petition immigration courts to be granted residency.

Sadly the govt has been very poor in its communication and media perception allowing for this space to be occupied by those who have a divisive agenda. The information minister is only good for applause and wide smiles in the lower house.

I have to vehemently but respectfully disagree with you. And I don't mean to generalize, but lets cut through the chase and be honest unlike white Bahadurs like Dexter Filkins and his concubine Rana Ayyub

Kashmir Muslims who are whining about loss of 370, an article of the Indian constitution, never ever swore by it.

On the contrary, they desecrated it by colluding with Pakis in demanding secession.

They gave aid and succor to Paki terrorists resulting in the deaths of 1000s and 1000s of our brave jawans and officers who doing their duty in protecting India's sovereignty from being invaded and snatched by Paki barbarians.

And as far as so called 'mainstream' ass holes like Farooq Abdullah, Mufti etc, less the better. They were not only traitors, but corrupt scum bags. They speciously claimed adherence to Indian constitution, but were singing the Paki tune. They wanted Indian goodies but love and succor from Pakis. They wanted 370 because that would mean quasi secession and they get to be Paki sultans while spending Indian money.

And last but not the least, to borrow a phrase from Jonah Goldhagen, "Hitler's willing executioners" to describe ordinary Germans in the genocide of Jews, so also KMs are "Paki's willing executioners" for the ethnic cleansing of Hindus from the Kashmir valley

We still live in a colonial world, where the above narrative will never be said in the halls of power in the white west: media and govt, simply because SDRE Hindus, democratic and growing in stature are anathema to the white Christian worldview.

So they come up fraudulent specious narratives on how Kashmir Muslims are deprived of whatspp post 370 as 'human rights' violation while side stepping the devastating losses India has suffered at the hands of these bloody traitors, and why India has sound reasonable reasons for depriving those bigots with modern technology like Internet which they use to bite the hand that feeds them.

I am sick and tired of the world shedding tears for Islamic extremists in Kashmir and painting India as the villain.

I mean, what is preventing anyone from Pakistan or Bangladesh saying they are Hindu/Christian or whatever and claiming Indian citizenship? And even GOI they wanted to go this, they could have easily done it in a less polarizing way, by recognizing minority religions & not recognizing minority sects of majority religions (Shia’s, Ahmed isn’t etc) as a persecuted class.

There are ways to do this without blatantly and unnecessarily upsetting people.

Even with article 370, which was well executed- the aftermath was poorly handled (in my opinion). After a few months, they should have let people vent and blow off some steam and things would have returned to normal. But they tried to over-control it.

Demonetization turned out to be a futile exercise since all the back money ended up being laundered. It would have been far more effective to ban higher denomination notes.

GST was rushed out without anyone working out the details for SME’s who are having major cash-flow issues because of the way the payment cycle works.

All these things I mentioned, protecting minorities, article 370, cleaning up black money and GST - I support!!!

But the execution has been HORRIBLE to the point where with this latest move (CAB), I am thinking CAB was done in the most inflammatory way possible to whip up religious sentiments and cover up for a weak economy. As mentioned earlier, the same thing could have been done in a much less polarizing way.

I know there are many people who are fond of Modi here - but he is losing me. Friends, Religion is the last refuge of the scoundrel.

Some interesting points raised here. I have to agree that execution of some of these issues has not been the best esp. the demonetization piece. 370 I thought was done well. Only thing is India should have launched a massive publicity operation coopting Western liberals by spending some extra $$ss. Time to reduce TSP influence in such corridors, and I believe it is just a matter of who pays more. Can't see why India can't outbid TSP here!

As far as CAB goes, I'm not sure what the message is but I think MAD mustn't have seen any other way out - they did it out of sheer desperation because of the demographic engineering increasingly coming to a tipping point. Having said this, I'd rather have them focus on UCC instead.

Wonder why the tribals, natives of Assam are so quiet. GOI and state govt. should have had them on the streets celebrating in opposition to those who are currently trying to destabilize the region.

I squarely blame successive GOIs for this including the current dispensation. It is all the more galling considering how media savvy Modi has shown himself to be. They should have taken a proactive stance in sponsoring anti TSP narratives worldwide. But instead have taken a rather pacifist approach, which is ridiculous.

The bottomline, the way I see it, is a matter of outbidding TSP agents in corridors of media. Let us make no bones about this - the MSM rents its pen and ink to the highest bidder and TSP is small fry when it comes to rolling out the moolah (at least in comparison to India). Time for GOI to open up coffers with delicious prospects favorable people in key places.

I think GOI has handled 370 extremely well. The whinos have gone quiet, more or less. The CAB of course amplifies the noise, with 'proof' that the GOI is anti-Muslim. It is a pretty daring Bill, that for the first time in the history of Free India, casts Muslim identity as a DIS-advantage in ANYthing. Until now it has been all "what's mine is mine, and what's yours is mine". Now India just has to ride out the temporary ro-dho, just like after May 1998.

If I may say so, both 370 and CAB are based on the NM-AS confidence learned from Guj. Note the relative peace there, following jhapad of '02. Ended a decade of rising nonsense where a school teacher was lynched in Godhra for raising the TriColor on Aug. 15! I wonder what the situation is in Godhra these days but I suspect that there is a chastened realization that there are consequences to pakiness.

OTOH, the net effect of Pakis' yelling has been to hold a mirror to themselves. I think sentiment on TSP has turned more negative over the past year than at any other time except maybe 2002. Now the Afghanistan defeat is staring Republicans in the face, and they are coming out with their frustrations about the Paki role in that.

Even the yelling about the CAB is ironically, that "India has emulated Pakistan". This is vicarious slapping. India does something, and the worst that the whinos can say is to say India is EMULATING PAKISTAN. You can't buy this with any amount of Image Consultancy.
