A woman at a protest against the Citizenship Amendment Bill, a law which will give citizenship to religious minorities persecuted in neighbouring Muslim countries, in Guwahati, India on December 5, 2019.
Last month, Amit Shah, India's federal home minister, told parliament that non-Muslim minorities –– Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, Christians, Sikhs and Parsis –– who fled from Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan would be given Indian citizenship under the proposed law. Giving Indian citizenship to "Hindus, Jains, Buddhists and Sikhs escaping persecution" was part of the manifesto of Modi's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party ahead of a general election in May 2019 that the nationalist leader swept.The passage of the bill, which could be introduced in parliament this week, will also be a test for the BJP, since it enjoys a majority in the lower house but is short of numbers in India's upper house.

India is being ruined by its rulers.
As an India I welcome this because one time India was divided by hindu majority India and Muslim majority Paki people those who want to flee to respective states happened India dont want any muslims from outside to get citizenship and rest of them can come to indi if feel safe.
