2019).The final draft of National Register of Citizens (NRC) was published on July 30,2018,
declared 4 million people stateless, with majority of them being Muslims (About NRC, 2018).
Minority Hindus among 4 million stateless people will be unaffected due to Citizenship
Amendment Act (CAA) 2019, however, many Muslims, who have been living there for years,
will become stateless and thrown out being labelled “Bangladeshi illegal immigrants”.
CONCLUSION:
The worries of Pakistan’s founding fathers regarding the future of Muslims in India is
now turning out to be true. India, despite presenting itself as a democratic state upholding
secular values has never accepted Muslims as a part of Indian population. Since its inception,
India, through numerous events and incidents has shown signs of being a Hindu dominated
state with little tolerance for minorities, particularly Muslims. In 1937, when Indian National
Congress led by a seemingly moderate Gandhi made Vande Matram, a poem against basic
teachings of Islam selected from an anti-Muslim Bengali novel Anandamath (written by
Bankim Chandra Chattopadhay) the national song of India. On 24th January 1950, Indian
constituent Assembly gave it the same status as that of Indian national anthem. According to
Indian census of 2011, Muslims had the lowest share of employed people despite being
India’s second largest community (Bhowmick, India's Muslims are no better today than a few
decades earlier, 2017). 28.8% Muslim were out of schools, even more than Dalits, the lowest
Hindu caste and Muslims having the lowest monthly per capita expenditure (Bhowmick S. ,
2017), showing the poor social and economic conditions of Indian Muslims under “secular”
Indian governments (headed by Indian National Congress). These indicators are more than
enough to prove India’s anti-Muslim policies, but the take-over of Nazi inspired BJP by India
and their passage of Citizenship Amendment Act 2019 proves that the nation theory is alive
and now proven true beyond doubt.
