CITIZENSHIP AMENDMENT ACT-2019

Hese days Citizenship Amendment Act 2019 is the burning issue all over India. People have different views about CAA, some are of view that it is beneficial for the internal security of our country while there is another group of people who consider it as a threat to the integrity of India and Indian Constitution. We have witnessed people strongly condemning and protesting against CAA almost in every part of India. CAA is the not the only thing people are protesting against, but Compiling of National Register of Citizens with CAA is another major issue along with it. On the other side of the edge there are people who are strongly in favour of passing and implementation of the Citizenship Amendment Act 2019 and NRC. According to government CAA will be helpful for the persecuted refugees as the previous laws of citizenship are not sufficient to claim citizenship. The present paper throws light on the questions like what CAA is? , how and why it has been compiled with NRC? , who will be affected by it? , is it really a threat to Indian Constitution? etc.
