When nationality is of faith

Indiako lehen ministro Narendra Modi / Presidenciamx

In a month's time, when the "biggest democracy in the world" elections, which will begin on 19 April and continue for six weeks, a new factor has ignited the countries that were already quite upset. All the polls predict that BJP’s National Right-wing Democratic Alliance, led by current Prime Minister Narendra Modi, won, but the one in charge of the wind has yielded to such an amateur subject. It does not seem, however, that it can be because Rahul Gandhi’s opposition is going to be very tight: if he has enough work to punctuate the internal desrates of the INDIA alliance that cost so much the Congressional Party and improve somewhat the nefarious results of 2019. So?

The CAA-Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019, was already under the vulgar name of the troublemaker's knots. Arising from such a shameful and bloody division procedure, the Indian Constitution has a complex Citizenship Act, which over the next 70 years has received various amendments and amendments to the Turbians that have taken place in the country itself and in its geopolitical environment. In general, it must be said that it is not easy to become a citizen of India... except in exceptional cases.

In 2019, the main argument of the Modi party was that when Muslims were persecuted, they had refuge in another country of their own faith, without going to India.

These exceptional cases were profoundly transformed in 2019, thanks to a large majority, driven by the PJ. In the new tenor, those who before 2014 came to India in search of refuge for "religious persecution," could quickly obtain citizenship -- if they were Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, Divinists, Mazdeists or Christians. But not the majority Muslims in several countries in the Indian area. Nor are they much rarer (and at least almost all the most persecuted parties).

So in 2019, the main argument of the Modi party was that when Muslims were persecuted, they had refuge in another country of their own faith, without going to India. The argument, of course, did not convince most Muslims in India, 175 million, and spectacular street outbreaks took place in major cities. The conflict was particularly violent in Assam, as the Rohingys problem in Myanmar is there. And, taking on a broad angular goal, corresponded to the knot of Bangladesh, which could be a much more severe migratory origin. Not to mention the most sinister history of discrimination based on religion.

The amendment has been in the refrigerator for four years. But BJP defrost it in the heat of elections. Of course, to sow the same religious and political tension as then.

It was Modi's always strategy. And he can't deny that he's given him benefits.

“Abki baar 400 paar”?
India's Prime Minister, Modi, has to get over 400 seats in the general election to say it's a success. If I got less than the present, it would be a failure, even if the coalition maintained the majority. The results of June 4 show the direction of the knot.
