India also has a Census. The NCR is not a Census but a miserable ploy to divide people on the basis of religion and disenfranchise minorities. I say this as someone who is a Hindu and is frankly disgusted with this authoritarian government using religion to solely empower themselves. They’ve learnt the colonial British tricks well.

> The NCR is not a Census but a miserable ploy to divide people on the basis of religion and disenfranchise minorities That is a much better explanation. That's an ethnic/religious register not merely an register of people in a country.

What's with the religion in NRC? The last I checked the process was religion-agnostic. Lot of Hindus and Muslims were left out in the final list. Doesn't look like a ploy to divide people.

  This is an exact tweet by Amit Shah: "We will ensure implementation of NRC in the entire country. We will remove every single infiltrator from the country, except Buddha, Hindus and Sikhs: Shri @AmitShah #NaMoForNewIndia"

    Tweets and real life are not always in sync. No other state has anything equivalent to Assam Accord.

      It's amazing how you can dismiss the home minister's own words as not "real life". The horse neighs and you still insist it's a duck.

  Three things: Step 1: Citizenship Amendment Bill, gives citizenship to every one apart from Muslims(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizenship_Amendment_Bill_2016 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizenship_Amendment_Bill_201...) Step 2: From Step 1, all religion adherents apart from Islam are automatically included in NRC. Step 3: From Step 1 and 2, NRC becomes all about Muslims.
