It’s been a while since I’ve read about this but my understanding is that many people in rural areas will lack the documentation showing that they’ve always lived in India and have citizenship. Basically, this would let the government then start questioning people’s citizenship and effectively pretend that many rural Muslims are illegal immigrants while allowing Hindus without documentation to be unaffected.
Exactly this. Already there is a strategy and accusations of “Bangladeshi immigrants” all over the country. Guess what? How do you prove you are not from there when you are poor as shit, are now allowed to communicate (Police will beat you damn near to death), have no paperwork cause you are poor as shit or had poor illiterate parents?
Sonny, you eat meat, you are Muslim, believe it or not, straight to jail.
