The government in power has strategically choose this move to strengthen their vote bank in upcoming elections in Assam[1].
There are other neighbouring countries like Nepal, China, Sri lank, Myanmar etc. where minorities are facing the same level of persecution which is conveniently ignored because they did not find in the current agenda of the government.
For the first time in Indian history, There is a citizenship law which discriminates based on religion.
Talking about NRC. It is going to be yet another blow to already struggling Indian economy after demonetization[2] & poor rollout of GST[3].
With NRC government will make entire population loose hundreds of hours of man power individually by making them go through a bureaucratic, unthoughtful, ill defined process to prove their citizenship. Moreover, NRC has already proven to be a failure when the government executed it[4]

- thewhitetulip 7y agoAssam NRC has cost 1.3 thousand crore and Assam is 3% of the entire population. This government doesn't have funds to run day to day operations (it has delayed payment of taxes to states), where will it bring so much money? Also why is it needed? Because government could not do any good work. Economy is in a free fall, unemployment rate is highest in 45yrs
- BilalBudhani 7y agoThis is what makes me more concerned. Government is taking no interest in solving internal crises which has reached an alarming rate. Economist, Major corporates, industrialist has been raising concerns on the same. Instead, government are finding ways to keep the religion divide alive. What a shame!
- thewhitetulip 7y agoThey're actually doing what right wing does best. Blame everyone else for their problems and divert attention They hire thousands of people to stifle anti govt thoughts. Look at the IT cell downvoting anything remotely anti Govt on this thread
