India moves to implement controversial citizenship bill that excludes Muslims
India has announced rules that would allow it to implement a controversial citizenship bill that excludes Muslims.
Gotta love Hindu nationalism...
Religious nationalism is so hot right now.
Y'know I was just sitting out on the veranda, sipping a cool beverage and musing, to myself, y'see, I was thinking there "Hey - what this planet needs is another ethnostate. I mean, really, another ethnostate with nuclear weapons would be ideal."
And here we are. Boy sometimes everything's comin' up Milhouse.
religious fervor.
Modi takes his orders from Stephen Harper a wannabe autocrat who runs a shadowy organizations pushing the far right across the democratic world.It's why Pierre Poilievre doesn't say anything bad about Modi and India, because they are both in Harper's org.
Before anyone who freaks out without reading the article, no, they’re not removing citizen status for Muslims already in India. They are however making it a lot easier for every religion except Islam to come to India and get nationality
It's been a while since I've read about this but my understanding is that many people in rural areas will lack the documentation showing that they've always lived in India and have citizenship. Basically, this would let the government then start questioning people's citizenship and effectively pretend that many rural Muslims are illegal immigrants while allowing Hindus without documentation to be unaffected.
Exactly this. Already there is a strategy and accusations of "Bangladeshi immigrants" all over the country. Guess what? How do you prove you are not from there when you are poor as shit, are now allowed to communicate (Police will beat you damn near to death), have no paperwork cause you are poor as shit or had poor illiterate parents?
Sonny, you eat meat, you are Muslim, believe it or not, straight to jail.
Still makes them disgustingly horrible. Just...a teeny bit less so.
The Citizenship Amendment Act provides a fast track to naturalisation for Hindus, Parsis, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains and Christians who fled to Hindu-majority India from Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan before December 31, 2014.
Well that's . . . less . . bad, then
Ah yea, the salami strategy.
Another thing to note here is this a smokescreen to hide the supreme court's ruling against the State Bank of India in the Electoral Bonds case.
Smokescreen or not I just want SBI to release names.
You and me both buddy.
Evil Obi-One Kenobi strikes again.
Ibo-Two Kentucky?
I imagine Darth Sidious saying "Saheed Order 66" in a Indian voice.
For as broken Pakistan is, this is direct evidence of why its a good thing it exists lol.
How exactly?
They claim that they are doing this to help non-muslim refugees fleeing places like Pakistan. Their claim is that they can't accommodate all refugees so the first preference is for non-muslims being persecuted.
If Pakistan didn't exist, this persecution wouldn't be there?
There are no refugees fleeing either country, the borders are locked down and heavily militarized.
The people who do cross the border with visas are very few and only get access via special approval such as if they have family or business due to closeness to the border.
Pakistan doesn't even accept refugees as citizens anymore because they don't ever expect anyone to come from India.
The joke is that Pakistan's founders claimed a united India would never last because it would fall to the Hindu majority who would nationilze around their identity and oppress everyone else which is exactly what happend. And not just with Muslims, the Sikh as well who get frequently blamed for public outrage and protests.
This all happening just gives credit for Pakistan's purpose because it is a separate country that was created with the intent of avoiding explained problem by being a separate entity and moving all the Muslims there. For its purpose of avoiding being an oppressed minority, it succeded.
Although I do think they should reopen the border and let the remaining Muslim population in India easily move seeing as they are at the hands of Modi who was already involved in a Massacre not even 2 decades ago.
Yeah it's not like BJP's rise can be attributed to pakistan's 'cut India by thousand pieces' strategy since the 80s.

Fuckers have been too obsessed with bringing down India than improving their own shitty country.
ULLLGGGHHHH
We need a fuckin' break, man. So many terrible leaders are activating their master plans, and we've just got ol' Genocide Joe just kinda sleepwalking through this whole polycrisis.
Oh fuck this is not going to be pretty.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The Indian Ministry of Home Affairs announced the rules Monday, ahead of India’s general election in the spring, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi will seek a rare third term in power.
Despite being well-received by Modi, a Hindu nationalist, the bill was heavily protested by opposition parties, which claimed it was unconstitutional and marginalized India’s 200-million Muslim population.
Indian Home Minister Amit Shah praised Modi on Monday evening, saying he “delivered on another commitment and realized the promise of the makers of our constitution to the Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis and Christians living in those countries” in a post on X.
Since Modi’s rise to power nearly a decade ago, critics say the once secular and democratic founding ethos of the world’s largest democracy is crumbling at an alarming speed, with minorities feeling persecuted under the BJP’s majoritarian policies and any criticism of the government facing censorship and punishment.
It comes a month after two mosques were demolished in Uttarakhand state and Delhi, within days of each other, leading to clashes and local curfews.
While many Hindus celebrated the opening of the Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir in Ayodhya, the inauguration was a painful reminder to the country’s minority Muslim population of the religious divisions that have grown more pronounced under Modi’s rule.
