India Citizenship Bill Puts Muslims At Risk Of Deportation

The Citizenship Amendment Bill proposed by India's BJP aims to grant citizenship to non-Muslim religious minorities from neighboring countries, amending a 1955 law. Supporters argue it protects persecuted groups while critics claim it marginalizes Muslims and violates India's secular constitution. The bill has sparked tensions, especially in Assam, where many Muslims were excluded from a citizenship registry. Legal experts question the exclusion of other persecuted groups like the Rohingya. The bill is set for debate in India's upper house of parliament.
