no condemnation from USA and western countries? where are the so called democracy defenders? is this a beautiful scenery of democracy?

India, what a totalitarian country!

This is a world war, that only the Islamist know is happening, the rest of the world are idiots!

For the first time, I am seeing a Western media house stating the facts neutrally..it is about immigrants, not citizens. And India already has a population problem..why would we want more?

Favoring? The non muslims in the muslim countries pakistan, afghanistan, bangladesh are being kidnapped, raped, forced to become muslims. Why should India allow muslims from these muslim countries to India?

In 21st century the right to protest is being taken away and Internet and mobile services being disrupted. That's utterly shameful.

Indian court refuses to stop implementation of citizenship lawIndia’s top court refuses to stall the implementation of a new law that lays out a path for non-Muslim minorities from some neighboring countries for Indian citizenship, despite violent protests across the country Shame on you for wrong reporting. Everyone one have to prove their citizenship. Those who can't have documents become illegal immigrant. But if you are Non-Muslim you will get citizenship through this law. And Muslims will detained in detention camps Protestors shouting slogans about elimination of Hindus. This false neutrality is a problem. The law offers a path for people with no documents proving that they, their parents and their grandparents were/are Indians IF they're non-Muslims. If they're Muslims with no documentation they get chucked into concen.. detention centers.
