Debatable topics

  1. India along with Indian Constitution was made secular then why is it played around on the basis of religion?
  2. Government claims to protect the religious minorities, then why Ahmadiyas (which is considered out of Islam) are excluded? They are facing much more injustice than other minorities.
  3. Are those minorities, India’s responsibility? If yes, why?
  4. Can India really afford NRC all over the country? How will the Indians prove themselves of being Indian?
  5. Why only religion is the base selected for protecting the people? There are other major reasons too which will make people migrate, for example, financial and safety reasons?
  6.  What is the proof that the the illegal immigrants migrated just because of religious fear?
  7. What is the proof that the illegal migrants except are of the specified religions? Note: Religion is specified only on Pakistani passport.
  8. Is it fine for the illegal migrants to convert their religion before migrating to India and ask for the Indian citizenship? If not, how will the government distinguish?
  9. Where only Muslims will be detained or deported? Is following a particular religion a crime?
  10. If India aims to protect the minorities, then why only three or four countries are chosen? Minorities are suffering in other countries too.
  11. Why the Internet is banned in number of parts of India? Why is the ‘Right To Speech’ violated?
  12. Why Indians require to specify their religion everywhere to get their passports after October 2018?
  13. Why Burmese Muslims (especially Rohinya Muslims) facing injustice in their country are not included? They are also minorities.
  14. Why is there no action against the illegal immigrants? Is it okay to illegally migrate to other countries for various reasons?
  15. Why only illegal migrants before December 31, 2014 are concerned to be protected by the government? Why not the people after it? Are those migrants safe in their countries?

In the country

In various parts of the country like Delhi, Assam, West Bengal and so on, Indians (of different religions) are protesting against this where the Indians standing for this act are opposing them.
There are curfews, fights, misunderstandings, protests, killings and destruction happening. The safety is concerned at this moment.

Note

It is to be noted that the blog posts written by me doesn’t intend to hurt anyone’s sentiments or points of view. It is truly painful to know about the religious minorities suffering in different countries, I have sympathy for them and I support them. I don’t intend to go against or for any individual, group, practice or religion.
