The register will make non citizens out of citizens who have lived in the country for 30-40 years. They have to provide evidence that they were in the country 40 years ago. This is hard enough in a developed country (I mean, look at the nonsense surrounding Obama’s birth certificate), but it’s absolutely ridiculous in a country that is about 70 years old, and the period selected was surrounded by war and mass migration.
Further, the intent was clearly to disempower religious minorities because after the register found way more Hindus didn’t have evidence than they predicted they said Hindus were excluded from this (which is actually not surprising...imagine you fled Bangladesh to come to India due to the war there in the 70s. It’s far more likely you would have some sort of paperwork that you would hold on to than someone whose family had been living there for generations).
