Finance ministry says the proposed revamp will focus on structural reforms, rate rationalisation & ease of living, & will be deliberated upon in the coming weeks.
The project is meant to be a ‘protective shield that will keep expanding’, the PM said. It is on the lines of the ‘Golden Dome’ announced by Trump, it is learnt.
Standing up to America is usually not a personal risk for a leader in India. Any suggestions of foreign pressure unites India behind who they see as leading them in that fight.
How were migrations handled in the past before the nations – as we define them today – existed? Everybody is a “son of the soil”. Nobody owns the Earth. If you think life has become worse because of migrants and it is better in other parts of the world and would rather migrate than stay put, you should move on, instead of complaining about other migrants. Stagnancy – just like water – is not good for societies. Free movement of people is important for advancement of human societies – more so now in a globalized world!
Yogendra Yadav’s assessment of the situation in Assam is correct. However,, it needs to be stated that like in many other places in the world, in Assam too, immigrants do contribute to the economy. A large number of Bangladeshi immigrants now work as construction and agricultural labor. Some have settled in riverine areas lying fallow till recently and produce vegetables. Many work as daily labor at cheaper wages. But that can not make the indigenous inhabitants ignore the fact that this migration threatens their identity and tilts the political balance. The proposed Amendment to the Citizenship Act is violative of the Constitution in the sense that it is trying to bring in religious considerations in the Even if we concede for the sake of argument that the Hindu minorities of neighboring countries can not be prevented from seeking shelter in Assam, even then the question remains as to why Assam should be forced to bear the burden? If the Government wants to take these immigrants in let it settle them in the rest of the country. The proposed Amendment to the Citizenship Act should include a provision that all illegal immigrants from Bangladesh and their descendants will be denied the right of residence , business or occupation in Assam
Hindus from Bangladesh can settle in Assam and the rest of the country. We must accept Hindus from other countries in India.But why will Muslim be allowed to settle in India unless they have some special skill to benefit us? Illegal migration of Muslims from Bangladesh must be stopped. West Bengal is promoting it for vote bank. Leftist are supporting it for other states too. Now, Mamta Banerjee is doing poltics on draft of NRC. All states bordering Bangladesh should stop illegal Muslim migration from Bangladesh. If High Court does not accept Panchayat certificates for Muslim women, then why to blame BJP for it. Panachayats are corrupt and known to issue all kind of bogus certificates after taking bribe. But we can accept all those Muslims who have come and settle in India as they are human being first and can not be thrown away. Bangladesh will not acknowledge them. All Benagli speaking Moslems can go to settle in Bangla as its CM has special liking for Muslims and they will prove to be a solid vote bank for her..
The United States, with all its technology and resources, has eleven, twelve million undocumented workers. As firm an opponent of immigration as President Trump has recently indicated he would risk the wrath of his base by working on a path to their becoming US citizens. They pick fruit, wait tables, work much harder, for lower wages and few benefits than normal citizens would. 2. The people who have streamed into India from Bangladesh are contributing to the Indian economy, have struck deep roots in our welcoming soil. Is it really an option to send them back, decades later … Some things strike a chord on the election trail, are not a practical course of action. 3. For the future, by all means, take greater care to restrict illegal immigration. We miss entirely the irony of Indians seeking, desperately, to emigrate.
Why was pakistan and bangladesh created?

Six months later, with the NRC process nearing completion, I stand by my remark. Deportation is not an option.
Very soon the same immigrants who waited on us will become majority to demand social justice, second wave of reservations will be needed
