#NewsAnalysis: The increasing catastrophising in India regarding immigrants stealing jobs, causing demographic changes, and posing a threat to locals in the run-up to the Jharkhand State Assembly elections is right out of the far-right playbook While anti-immigrant sentiment runs high, not all immigrants are made equal in the Indian popular and political imagination.

"Breaking News: Citizenship (Amendment) Act Regulations Released Ahead of Elections! The much-debated Citizenship (Amendment) Act, enacted in 2019, has finally seen its rules unveiled today, just weeks before the nation heads to the polls. Here's what you need to know: 1. Providing a pathway to citizenship, the law aims to welcome Hindus, Jains, Christians, Sikhs, Buddhists, and Parsis who migrated to India on or before December 31, 2014, from Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. 2. Eligibility criteria for Indian citizenship now include residing in India for the past year and at least five of the last 14 years, a significant reduction from the previous requirement of 11 years for naturalization. 3. Notably, tribal areas such as Assam, Meghalaya, Mizoram, and Tripura, as well as specific districts like Karbi Anglong, Garo Hills, Chakma, and Tribal areas, are exempted from the law, safeguarded by the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution. 4. The CAA sparked widespread protests, particularly in the Northeast, upon its passage in December 2019 and subsequent presidential approval. 5. Promising implementation before the Lok Sabha elections, Union Home Minister Amit Shah's assurance has now materialized with the notification of CAA rules. Stay informed as developments unfold! #CitizenshipAct #CAA #Elections2024 #IndianCitizenship #BreakingNews"

We were told that Bengal thinks 100 years ahead of other states. I can clearly see that, as Bengal is facing what the country will face in decades to come, the thoughtfulness and dinner table discussions in Bengal failed to prevent the talibanisation of certain parts in Bengal. If someone think that illegal immigration (as far as India is concerned) must not be centre of discourse, this opinion can only be attributed to delusional thought process. Immigration hampers demography, civic sense changes, and societal behaviour changes with the change in demography. -Public flogging of women committing adultery. -Cutting hairs of Woman publically. -Raping and throwing the body in sewage lines. -Threatening women if they discuss the instances of rapes and assault with outside media. This is what progressive Bengal looks like. This is How the left ruins a state. Major Highlights :- + Home Ministry of Bangladesh has alleged that their one crore citizens are missing. (because they crossed borders and came to India) + Illegal Immigrants and Rohingyas refugees have been scattered throughout India. + Most of the immigrants were able to get the documents so that they can easily vote in elections.

BREAKING NEWS: BJP has done it! CAA rules have been notified! Four years after the CAA bill was passed in Parliament, it has now become a reality. The Narendra Modi-led government issued a notification for the controversial Act, bringing it into force just weeks before the Lok Sabha elections! With the issuance of such notification, all Non-Muslim migrants from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh (India’s Muslim neighbours) who came to India to escape religious persecution before December 31, 2014, will be granted citizenship! The rules have been significantly relaxed such as lesser documentation, an online portal, and lower residency requirements! This Act would remove the legal barriers to citizenship while giving a dignified life to these refugees!! However, not everyone is happy. - Congress has slammed the government’s timing on the matter while calling it BJP’s attempt at ‘divisive politics’ and ‘designed to polarise the elections’. - West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee has announced that the TMC will be opposing the Act since it ‘infringes upon people’s rights’! - AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi claimed that CAA was divisive, ‘based on Godse’s thought’, and ‘wanted to reduce Muslims to second-class citizens’!! - Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan has announced that the Act would not be implemented in Kerala!! What do you think? Is CAA a helpful move or a divisive political agenda??

Why there is so much noise about CAA, is it worth it? Let's understand what CAA is - and why it was so important to make this decision before elections in India CAA - Citizenship Amendment Act This bill was already passed in 2019, but due to massive protests and violence it was not implemented in all the states The CAA makes it easier for non-Muslim migrants from Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan to get Indian citizenship. The law is applicable to all migrants who arrived in India on and before December 31, 2014. So, why is there a chaos and who is making this chaos happen!!! Its the opposition political parties, But why? Reality is that the major vote bank of their parties are residents who came illegally in India from Bangladesh, Pakistan etc. to make sure that NDA (BJP) cannot win the elections completely as this will give them the power to pass any bill very easily in Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha However, it's a master stroke of implementing this bill just before elections and this will lead to 100% hit on those parties and rather than buying the votes, actual promises are required to win the elections of 2024. Just letting you know same thing happened at the time of Article 370, but it was very necessary to get it implemented. We are aiming for 3rd largest economy in the world, and we need to take bold decisions to make this happen and not entertain any political propaganda. That's it for now :)

In this video, I speak about how immigration to the #US now is not as favoured as it was a couple of decades ago. The fact that #India has now become one of the Top 5 #economies in the world ensured that many #global #corporation see India as a investment haven and shifting focus to establish base here. I also urge the younger generation come as the opportunities in India will be in abundance. #Bharat #USElections #AdityaSesh

Amidst the anticipation of upcoming general elections, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) made a significant announcement on March 11 by notifying the Citizenship Amendment Rules, 2024. This development paves the way for the implementation of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), which was passed by the Parliament in 2019. The CAA aims to provide citizenship to undocumented individuals belonging to Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Parsi, Christian, and Jain communities from Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan, who fled religious persecution in their home countries. Under the newly notified rules, applicants seeking citizenship will be required to furnish six types of documents, including specifying their "date of entry" into India. This meticulous documentation process aims to streamline the citizenship-granting procedure and ensure transparency in the application process. As the nation prepares for the upcoming elections, the implementation of the Citizenship Amendment Act is likely to remain a focal point of public discourse and political debate. #caa #CitizenshipAmendmentAct #Election2024 #CAAIndia #Indianlaw
