This is Modi's election. And in that, this election is a battle for Indians to wrestle back their identities that have been assaulted and demonized. In order to facilitate colonial structures that perpetuate slavery. This Indian election is an exercise in freedom.
The Case against Patanjali by Indian Medical Association and the tone of Judiciary is alarming. We need to look into its historical and global context to fully grasp its ramification.
Why do seemingly normal people commit atrocities and genocides? More importantly, why do millions other go along with these crimes as participants? We explore the Perpetration-Induced Trauma and its impact on the societies.
A lot of mess has happened in the last several decades in India. But the biggest one was how the Bangladeshis were allowed to infiltrate into India, specifically Assam and change the demography. The locals were being edged out and no one cared.
The exercise for the final NRC has been as per the supervision of the SC. It is still not enough because the demographic change has been tremendous! #NRCFinalList Click To Tweet
Now, with the announcement of the final National Register of Citizens (NRC), 19,06,657 persons did not submit any claims for the citizenship and so have been left out of the register. They will be deported. This is actually very little too late because so many will be deemed as Indian citizens.
The whole exercise has been done under the aegis of Supreme Court of India.
In a statement NRC authorities stated the process of NRC Update was started in the state of Assam as per order of the Supreme Court of India in 2013. Since then, the Apex Court has been closely monitoring the entire process. The process of NRC update in Assam differs from the rest of the country and is governed by Rule 4A and the corresponding Schedule of the Citizenship (Registration of Citizens and Issue of National Identity Cards) Rules, 2003.
But does it account for what has really happened here? Take a look at this tweet by Anand Ranganathan.
Assam's population: 31.2 million – 61% Hindu, 34% Muslim.
1991-2001: Hindus grew by 14.95%, Muslims by 29.30%
2001-2011: Hindus grew by 10.89%, Muslims by 29.59%.
In NO other state, countering even the TFR, are the Muslims growing three times faster than the Hindus.
