People who served in the Indian army were excluded from the NRC. People who had been living in Assam for ages were excluded from the NRC. CAB becomes a backdoor from them.
aye aye WhatsApp.
I can't speak for Pakistan, but Bangladesh has been edging towards Bengali nationalism for a few decades now. If the seven sisters make this a solely anti-bengali uprising then I fear there will be serious bloodshed on both sides of the border.
I agree on all except last line. After
Oh great! Now give the right stats of percentages during partition and now.
That is the essence of my argument.
Both sides of the border? That's interesting to know the perspective.

Do you know anything about the ethnic demographics of Bangladesh? Bangladesh has many north eastern ethnicities that reside here (especially Manipuris) for education and work, they will be targeted if bengalis are targeted in the seven sisters. The animosity between bengalis and people of the North east is not recent, the dislike goes back a couple of hundred years.
Issue is illegal economic migrants, not legal ones. They are not accepted anywhere. India is doing the same.
As per the prevailing law in India even an atheist is considered a hindu for legal purposes.
So going by the stats from the article, the minority population is atleast halved now from 1951(east + west pak).https://www.indiatoday.in/india/sto...zenship-amendment-bill-bjp-1627678-2019-12-12
Literally takes a second to find anything on the internet these days. The absolute numbers in Bangladesh are actually up, just that the percentage of the whole is down.
I will let you find the reason for that.
Good to know about it.
In Pakistan, it has remained the same. In Bangladesh, it has gone down, yes.
They are considered as minorities in Pakistan.
If you read up on the history of Assam student protests and the subsequent assam accord it is clear why it is so important for them to keep immigrants out. To an extent it is understandable because their heterogeneous culture stands to be overrun by the much larger bengali immigrants - and I'm not just talking about bangladeshis here. A lot of bengalis including my distant forefathers migrated from Assam to what is now west bengal. I bear no ill will to the Assamese for this, their population is low like the rest of NE and they're trying to keep it that way. What's funny is that the liberals are trying to portray the Assam protests as some sort of vindication that the CAB is stoking religious divisions. The bill is evil and I'm not backing it, but the Assam protests are completely different from the rest of the country. Yes they will feel betrayed and the BJP likely lose the whole of NE in coming elections.

Well obviously every mass protest is anti government. If I protest the porn ban that too would be anti government.
Care to explain how the bill is dishonourable?that is If you had anything useful to say, rather than playing victimhood.The bill is an honourable one
The mental gymnastics required to say something like this.
This video explains pretty well why this bill is not only a sham, but also goes against the constitution.
Thanks for the video. Unfortunately it is in Hindi, which is not my language. Please share an English video if possible.
What is your language if you don't mind me asking?
The moment a law discriminates between people due to their background, it is dishonourable.
1. It ignores the complex reality of life which is that Ahmadiyyas and Shiites can also be persecuted because within Pakistan they aren't the dominant communities. Just like Hindus are Vaishnavites or Smarthas and so on, Islam also is not a monolith (well more so than Hindus but still has sects)
His answer is going to be on the lines of "well Muslims have dozens of Islamic majority countries to flee to but where will Hindus go?"
Honourable FFSDidn't find a video which explains those exact points but this one will have to do -
Just don't reply with Tamil. I just can't stand it if you turn out to be a Tamilian ffs
Deep down you know the answer don't you Stan!
So Hindu population hasn't actually declined in Pakistan. Surprised that Amit Shah is being proved to be a lie peddler. Very surprised
Another reason why this bill is dishonorable.
Since when did we become saviors of fleeing religious minorities? Did nothing for the poor Rohingyas but now espouse some ideal that suits the narrative? Using political will to go about making changes to the social fabric of the country rather than expand on the initial platform of growth and development shows that there is nothing honorable about this. Appealing to latent nationalism garbed racism of the people is Trumpish at best and the unthinkable at worst.
Relax buddy. You have no idea what the context was and the posters relationship with each other.
More precisely, those are immigrant Muslims from the nation which is created by diving India based on Islam. Why should illegal Muslim immigrants from the divided part had to be given same priority with persecuted people.
