Anti-CAA Movement Makes India ‘People Democracy’

  

With the passing of Citizenship (Amendment) Bill (CAB) in Rajya Sabha on December 11, the nationwide demonstrations have caught international condemns. With formation of Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA), it has been further intensified. The ‘brutal abuses committed’ by Delhi Police in Jamia Millia Islamia somehow gave a strong ground support for the disapproval. From official activities, to lawyers and journalists to human rights defends criticized it with the mass. USCIRF has criticized the decision of the Government.  Japanese foreign minister and two Bangladeshi ministers have cat off their diplomatic visits to India and many more to count under the ambit of this democratic protest. It’s another or real face of national interest.

   This defined a restored fury of patience exposed, because the BJP Government ascertained its ideological strikes with passing this ‘contentious discriminatory’ Citizenship (Amendment) Bill. The primary content of the bill desecrate the purity of Indian homogeneity marking again a ‘dark age’. Range of destructive ideological strikes can be viewed with a fraud secular spectacle including Triple Talaq, Article 370, Ram Jandir-Babri Masjid and then CAB.

   The purpose of this act is to grant citizenship by a religious criterion which ‘draws a parallel between the Reich Citizenship Law of 1935 by the Nazis’, and foretells the ensuing result of Spain after the ousting of Muslims and a turn back of Brahman era in India past before.  It also resembled the metaphor of a narrow-minded religiously devout boatman sheltering all people from a flood except Muslims. The completion of the Indian constitution took much enough time to assess and fathom all sorts of people; their identity, religion, culture and heritage. So that the diversity of Indian can be measured in a strong unity but, with an unwanted amendment, the power excluded all. That’s why the bill presented by the Home Minister Amit Shah prompted anger of different regions with different reasons. Muslims worked up against the religious basis criterion of citizenship, Assamese came out with ‘Assam is for Assamese’, Tamil Nadu opposed fo a different reason , Jamia Millai students at first and other universities’ students then descended on the field with a dissent of freedom and expression. In this way, all India with all sorts of people crossing all barriers of faith, caste and religion broke out in the movement of ‘Save  Constitution’.

   The bill delivers minority communities i.e. non-Muslim of Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh the citizenship certificates easily with a settlement of five years at a welcoming pretence for their salvation from persecution .The NRC exercise in Assam excluded more than 19 lakh people from the register of citizenship. These people peddled door-to-door in a sheer attempt to prove wanted documents dating before 1971. When they failed in that; now they would have to reestablish the documents of early December 31, 2014 and forced migration from the mentioned countries. Meanwhile Muslims have no alternative. What a paradox exhaustion in proving the citizenship identity!

   After that, if a report exposed that the minorities including Muslims and Dalits are severely tortured in India in contrast with the mentioned countries. Then the Indian government is behaving corresponding to that autocracy. Is that Indian Secularism?

   When the CAB was passed in Rajya Sabha, the CAA became threatening for the existence of Muslim in India. They are sobbing with dead hearts in silence and voicing for their rights in appearance. What can they show for their citizenship to the descendants of ‘loyalist of the English government’? The graveyard of their ancestors is the ardent proof of their nationality.

   It hasn’t been perceived that the claim and intention of some power holding BJP leaders would come in true actions in this short span with a legal way.  Prompting the agenda of ‘Hindu supremacy’, heritage names were corrupted, some historical characters were blamed, and even post relating to people and culture was occupied by hard Hindutva. Film industrial board is an explicitly vivid stance. Since 2014 the art films persuaded denigration and defamation of a specific community. ‘Ultra-nationalism’ was manifestly fanned with a directory of violence.  This hurts and damages the essence and sense of secularism.  But, the democracy exists still now; the agitation is spearheaded because of that attrition without a nationwide leader. Every land and state of the nation has possessed that democracy and will step ahead relentlessly to preserve it and taste its fruits.

   The controversial CAB was passed in an atmosphere of electoral colours. At the moment, oppositions would dig out into the issue and the electoral campaign would be grounded easily. The responsible ruling party can simply sneak more complex issues like economic crackdown, because when the INR had to be in Dollar pace, the daily commodities like onion touched the sky. Perceiving this, the Modi and his polity-mate  No fear, the democracy lives still now; hailing from tribal, Hemant Soren stood up as outdoer of BJP in the state.  The NRC exercise only in Assam cost 16 crore without an accurate result. How then the government can’t falter in ‘lie’ of ‘no discussion’ with the lowest GST rate in past 35 years? Further the slogan of Azadi shivered their daring for an own Rashtra. The Indian secularism will live long until the power of democracy prevails. No corruption; no compromise with it can be contented. It’s the people democracy; people will judge, justify and preserve it.
