India declared LeT chief Hafiz Saeed, his deputy Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, Jaish-e-Mohammed chief Masood Azhar, and fugitive underworld don Dawood Ibrahim as terrorists Wednesday under the new Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act.
India’s industrial output growth saw a 10-month low in June, with Index of Industrial Production (IIP) growing by mere 1.5% as against 1.9% in May 2025.
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.
India’s diversity is the most precious aspect of our nationality. This was the dream of our founding fathers. CAA and NRC definitely affect this diversity by eliminating one section of our population from time to time may be bit by bit over a period of time. Perhaps CAA itself may not be that explosive. But when it is blended with NRC as declared by our Home Minister it will result into selective choosing against the Muslims. The govt should reconsider the Act with proper amendments. It is true it is passed by the parliament. But the govt should take all section of minorities into confidence before implementing the Act since the issue involved is emotional.
With CAA, Modi-Shah have ensured that if Muslims are unable to satisfy NRC documentation, they will be non-citizens FOR GOOD. But if Hindus fail similarly at NRC, they will get a roundabout chance to REMAIN CITIZENS through CAA. This kind of partiality, even if it is possible ONLY THEORETICALLY defies the right of EQUALITY provided by the Constitution.
So, even if CAA and NRC are india’s “internal matter” their implications are against india’s Constitution.
How does CAA affect India’s diversity? CAA is about granting citizenship to those illegal immigrants who should be otherwise thrown out of the India but some of them who are persecuted religious minorities in their country of citizenship, are now offered Indian citizenship, as they can not safely return to their original country. India is not diverse due to presence of illegal immigrants but due to its 1.3 billion citizens comprise all religions of the world who have constitutional rights of equality and freedom to follow their religion. Moreover, such diversity is civilizational. Hence, any such comments without understanding the provisions and intent of CAA by anyone are totally unwarranted. Instead of lecturing India on its diversity, such persons should call upon such countries like Pakistan to take back persecuted minorities and providing them safe and rightful living ! It is to be noted that both Afghanistan and Bangla Desh have now offered to take back their citizens who are illegally residing in India. This is a very positive step from these countries. It shows that these countries respect sovereign rights of India and how it deals with illegal migrants.
It is another kind of a wish that India should invite every person, whether persecuted on the basis of religion, gender, ethnicity, political views etc, from anywhere in the world and offer them citizenship so that India becomes a melting pot and a vibrant society!! And we also know that Father of the Nation, Gandhi would have surely approved of such measure! Those who wish like this can carry out peaceful marches everyday and even go on fast until death at the Gandhi statue outside Parliament. But please do not mess up the situation with violence and arson. One should also advise a Bharat Ratna former President of India not to offer unnecessarily public comments on every contentious issue and keep dignity of his past office in mind.
