RE: The government is planning a country wide citizenship register, on the same lines of Reich Citizenship Law, detention(concentration?) camps are already being built. Can you expand on this? Why are these camps being built?

In the state of Assam if you are unable to produce documents proving that your grandfather was an Indian citizen you can be stripped of citizenship and sent to a detention camp. There is talk of extending this to all of india.

The Holocaust.

It's typical fear mongering. It deals with Assam which is a state in India that has suffered decades of illegal immigration, so much that the locals have often resorted to violent agitations to protest. Failure of successive governments to act on the issue has further complicated the issue. The current Government is implenting NRC which was decided by a previous government. Those who can't prove their citizenship as per NRC will probably loose their citizenships.

  It is not as simple as that because the government is deciding citizenship based on religion as well. Multiple members of the government have made it clear that Hindus will not face issues (implying that others will)

The camps are being built across the country. Maharashtra, Karnataka etc..

The consequences for those who end up in these detention camps can be severe because the likelihood that most of them can be deported is very remote.
