Eastern Panorama - June 2018

Bu konuda

The Tug Of War for the Citizenship Amendment Bill in the Northeast of India and
more so in Assam is an issue which will decide the faith of the entire Northeast of
India and more so the country in the times to come. We have tried to give brief details about the bill and take the views from both the parties who are for and against the bill. The issue of Citizenship Amendment Bill is not only sensitive but also very complicated in nature. As the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party has re-iterated that all the Hindus who migrated from Bangladesh will be granted Indian Citizenship, but the indigenous Assamese communities and people of northeast India are simply not willing to accept this as the probability of them becoming minority in their own states is significantly high. There is also the feeling of threat to their Indigenous Language and Culture. In such circumstances, political maturity is required to settle the issue.
