CAA is a new amendment to Indian citizenship act made by Modi led hindu nationalist government.

The ACT aims to provide India citizenship to persecuted minorities in the countries neighbouring India.

However the act only cherrypicks certain religions and certain countries to please hindu nationalist votebank.

Only persecuted minorities from Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh can get citizenship.

Which means Rohingyas ( irrespective of their religion ) from Myanmar can’t get asylum.

Further certain religions are excluded from CAA like Muslims, Jews, Baha’i and Atheists

In Pakistan there are Ahmedi muslims and atheists which are also persecuted minorities which cannot get asylum.

The law in itself doesn’t pose much harm to Indian muslims, Jews and atheists but along with this the government is planning an updated national register for citizens where everyone living in India will be asked to prove their grandparents were citizens of India. Most people don’t have birth certificates of their grandparents or other documents that can prove that.

Therefore this risks muslims, Jews and atheists losing Indian citizenship and becoming stateless. They risk getting deported or kept in prison camps.

I don’t disagree with you. I know Christians and Jews and muslims were all coming to India way before any kings or colonists came.

I am just pointing out the completely flawed logic they have used to justify this law.

Inflation is hitting people hard. And it’s happening globally not just in the USA.

Last night I ordered some food and the delivery agent told me she is living in her car because people are not tipping well and she can’t afford rent anymore. Paid for her stay in a motel for now.

Religion makes good people do evil things and still feel like a hero.

That’s a powerful thought.

Conditioning significantly influences our psyche.

These thoughts that are the result of conditioning are like knee jerk reactions.

Our brain is designed to conserve energy so it actually prioritises conditioned knee jerk reactions rather than introspective thoughts.

One needs significant amount of training to bypass this process.

Yeah just imagine if Isaac Newton was born as a sl***e rather than a rich estate owner. We would still be stuck in the dark ages.
