The final draft of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) published a little while ago excludes the names of a little over 40 lakh of the 3.29 crore people who had applied for inclusion. However, as the Union and state governments have repeatedly stated, the excluded people will not be deemed to be illegal migrants automatically and will have a month to file claims and objections. They will continue to enjoy the same rights as all citizens of the country and will not be sent to detention camps.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
