Public sentiment is deeply divided regarding the Bihar Electoral Roll Revision, with a notable proportion viewing it as essential for electoral integrity, while a larger faction expresses significant concerns about disenfranchisement of marginalized communities and mistrust in the Election Commission's intentions. The comments highlight a duality of support for voter legitimacy versus fears of exclusion, especially in the context of upcoming elections.

Election Commission

Bihar State Government

Political Parties

It's over for the opposition parties. BJP is gonna rule this country for the next millennia if no one can do anything about it. And all these fks were crying about corruption and democracy pre-2014 😂 What a bunch of hypocrites.

Caste and religion data of those 37% should be released. Bihar has caste census so that data would be available.

Then will we see same distribution of caste and religion as per latest census?

Casually removing voting rights of 30 million people. Mother of Democracy.

Alarming_Echo_4748

Ok I might get hate for this but I don't see anything wrong in this, election commission did this after the 2005 elections as well because multiple voter ids had become ultra common, they had to filter out repeated name+father's name combos, people just changed their district and made another voter id at that time

Icy-Tie9359

There is nothing wrong in this. Gonna leave my previous comment here.

There is a very real and important need to investigate voters and find if they are genuine or not. As if leeching off of our country isn't enough, we cannot have foreigners be voting in our elections.

Confusion or something else?

Just four months ago, in March, the Election Commission announced the process of linking voter lists with Aadhaar cards.

The Congress Party supported this proposal with some safeguards and suggested consultations with all parties.

While making an Aadhaar card, every individual is required to provide birth-related certificates.

But now, suddenly, a new process has been announced for the Bihar elections, which carries the old name—Special Intensive Summary Revision—but the process itself is new.In this, voters born between July 1987 and December 2003 will need to provide the birth certificate of one of their parents; and those born after that will need to provide the birth certificates of both parents.

There are over 8 crore voters in Bihar. This certificate submission process must be completed within the next one month!

The question is, when the Election Commission itself announced in March the process of linking voter lists with Aadhaar, in which people’s certificates and biometrics are already submitted, why has a new process been announced again?Why has a process been adopted in which Bihar government officials, deployed on Election Commission duty, will have the authority to verify and accept these certificates? Why has this process been initiated just three months before the election announcement? Whereas the previous Special Summary Revision, which did not require certificate submission, took over two months. This suddenly announced process will cause significant trouble for migrant voters, who are present in large numbers in Bihar, and poor voters.

frizene26

They have not yet disclosed which document is required as proof of place of birth for 1987 and before voters

prof_devilsadvocate3

It's not a bad thing, but why is it announced just 3 months before the election?

Ok-Goose6242

What is she afraid of? Seems like a straight forward process to me. Is she afraid that half of her voters would be delisted?

Worried about everything but her own state. What a fall for Bengal!

Nepalis are migrants. 

Bangladeshis are illegal immigrants.

NewWheelView

Nepalis are coming into this country legally. No law stops them from coming in. Governments have a mechanism to track everyone who goes from one country to another. 

On the other hand, Bangladeshis coming in have no track record of ever entering India and have a greater chance to escape the law if they ever are on the wrong side of it.

Aguuueeerrrooo

Tbh most of the Nepalese come here to work and to earn money .They are not illegally entering India by crossing the border plus they don't interfere in local politics and simply just earn their living. 
Also there are around 3 crores Nepali speaking population in India ( 2011 census, spread around bordering states of Nepal) that makes them feel at home.

[deleted]

Nepal and India have got good ties with them (historically).

Nepal is hindu majority state while Bangladesh is muslim state.

Sea_Sea1573

India and nepal have a bilateral treaty wherein neither side needs a visa to enter or work on the other side. This agreement also spells out other factors like currency conversion, defences against chinese imperialism etc. 

Bangladeshi immigration on the other hand is a hot button topic because religion as well as not legal migration. Also politically, esp in recent years, our relationship with the bangladeshi govt has deteriorated.

Pretentious-fools

1st of all your geopolitical understanding is very weak.. 

Bangladesh was east Pakistan till 1970s.. Heavily militarised and well guarded, even after Independence were hostile to the Indian state..
-Never really tried to improve relations untill Sheikh Hasina.
-Border Disputes.
-Not much Diplomatic alignment.
-High anti India sentiments in general population.

Nepal on the otherhand had political and diplomatic alignment towards India from the start.
-Nepali origin soldiers served in India army.
-Free movement was necessary for movement as there was no port and pre 21st century trade with China via Tibet was negligible.
-Visa free movement of Nepali, Bhutani people in India. Also scholarships for Nepali, Bhutani Students in Indian Universities, giving rise to pro India sentiments.

Now Nepali people don't go job hunting throughout the country and setup slums disrupting the local population with criminal activities like the Bangladeshi's who migrated Illegally do, the biggest reason is what these people do after migrating, easily brainwashed Muslim Bangladeshi are threat to our society.. 

**Don't attack me for this line, I'll explain - These bangladeshi often are left with nothing once they arrive here and some organisations take advantage of that, given shelter and food and colour them as "We muslim brotherhood".. Brainwash gullible people among them and make them do their biddings.. The non gullible one's, once they start making decent money have to start contributing too due to being blackmailed for illegal entry, as they now will fear losing everything if authorities get to know**

Nepal has shared ties culturally with India, socially, culturally and economically since centuries and are generally good grounded peaceful people

Bangladeshis consider India an enemy of their state. Are reckless, lack major civic sense and different from us culturally as well. Jahil kisam ke log hain.

Simple

billushanda

Lamo,comparing rapists, murders ,and lunatic Bangladeshis illegals with peaceful legal nepali people...
There is an ongoing fight in Karnataka too to remove those scums and police kept on removing them....

Nepalis are not taught from childhood that Endia are their enemies and kafirs must be eliminated.

unlike Bangladeshi / Pakistani, Nepalis don't want Indians to die , they don't try to convert others, they do not try to medal in local politics, they do not play religious politics they do not illegally take someone/govt   land &amp; convert it to their home or religious place, they do not organize /plan  terror attack on India they don't actively try to sabotage indias image online, they do not actively whitewash atrocities committed by them in the name of religion

With Nepal, we got a Roti-Beti ka rishta... Culturally Hindus are closer to Nepalis than Bangladeshis(Except for Hindu Bangladeshis)

Also many indian traders work in Nepal...Some Nepalis work in India..Mostly in odd jobs and in the hospitality industry.


Nepal also has a relatively low fertility rate so there is no mass exodus.

Globe-trekker

I live in Lucknow so maybe I can explain with an example. 20 years back Lucknow was known as a city of culture and heritage. You'd hardly see the civic sense problems here as is prevalent today. But barring few areas here, almost every locality has an attached slum and hundreds, if not thousands of illegal Bangladeshis or Rohingyas live in them. The women have half a dozen kids and they cover all the streets of Lucknow begging for money. They bicker with the locals and set up tents and tin sheds on the footpaths. Some of the slum dwellers have even created a majar just beside the road which caused a huge issue here when a bike rider accidentally knocked against the barricading they had set up. The authorities later removed it.

Recently, maybe a few weeks ago, district officials went to clear up the illegally occupied government land, and they were beaten up by the Bangladeshis. And mind you, many of these people are paid to attend rallies and protests at a rate of as less as 300 Rs.

I'm not even mentioning the law &amp; order and the security threat they pose to common people and women. Lucknow has been a city with large Muslim population but no major problem ever took place here. But after these illegal immigrants came in, as soon as you point a finger at their activities and illegal status, they immediately make it an issue of minority oppression. That's why people are making it a big issue. If not tackled properly and in time, these people will soon claim to be Indians and make slogans like "kisi ke baap ka thodi hai hindustan". Yes, hamare baap ka hai. Aur har hindustani ke baap aur unke bhi baap ka hai.

yetthinking

As someone who is from Northeast, illegal bangladeshi immigrants have always been a major issue in NE states. Some of the NE millitancy that happened over the years is a direct result of unchecked bangladeshi immigration. Not a single government has taken any step towards safeguarding our states and it is a major bone of contention among Northeasterners. Day by day disdain is growing against the Central government because they are doing nothing in this regard. This whole issue is now being highlighted in media just because of the recent downfall in Delhi-Dhaka relation. No one has bothered to hear the plight of NE states.Believe me when I say this no other region in this world hate bangladeshis more than the Northeast cause we have witnessed firsthand the demographic change in Assam, Tripura. Illegal bangladeshis are radical as heck and they breed like anything, child marriage is common among them, opression of females and is a major security threat for our states. The culture that they follow is simply not compatible with cultures of Northeast. Nepali immigrants on the other hand are liberal like us, integrate well into the society, so majority of us do not have any problem with them.

Appropriate_Clue2894

Relevant_Back_4340

There's a difference between Immigration/Migration and Infiltration. Nepalis as you pointed out are coming migrating to India legally with due process and paperwork. Many Bangladeshis too are probably doing so on student visa etc. However, majority of them, even Rohingyas, are doing so illegally. And they're doing so from the eastern border states like Bihar, WB, etc. Not only that, they're more or so even getting fake documents issued, changing demography and also influencing an unfair election and other political procedures and processes. Some states don't have an issue with that coz these illegal immigrants are contributing towards the votebanks of political parties that indulge in *"minority"* Appeasement.

This also contributes towards an increasing risk of our National safety &amp; Sovereignity

dg4320

bot_tim2223

One issue gets vote and the other doesn't its as simple is as that politicians are the main ones

jhonnyakbarkumar

Because one is legal and other illegal. 
Nepal and India have treaty that allows for both to immigrate into each other's country easily. Whereas for Bangladesh, it is one sides illegal migration creating all sorts of problem. 
We have already faced the brunt of demographic changes in North East, particularly Assam leading to violence and insurgency. No need to bring that in other parts

hsting61292

One is an enemy state with deep hatred for India and Indians. The other is a more friendly nation which is culturally similar to other northern Indian states.

MonsterKiller112

It’s impossible for Nepalis to do illegal immigration to India because they are allowed to travel freely across the border after the 1950 pact.

dhrcj_404

\- bangladesh has six times the number of people as nepal. So partially its a numbers game -  

\- Nepali migrants are economic migrants. They come for blue collar jobs like chefs or guards, while Bangladeshi migrants are refugees or smugglers. They cannot improve the lives of Indians like Nepalis can, since they are not paying taxes or adding to the economy.

\- South indians also feel it - just that they may not understand it as clearly as north indians. I was in Kerala a couple years ago, and I went to a handicrafts shop where the owner said he was Kashmiri, even though I could obviously tell that he was Bangladeshi. The Keralites would not have guessed that at all - I am sure they will continue to call him Kashmiri and then blame Kashmiris when they get tricked into buying some useless goods.

DeadKingKamina

India and Nepal have free movement of people. So if I understand it correctly, Nepalis can’t be illegals in India. Bangladesh and India have no such treaties. I’m not a legal scholar so take it for what it’s worth!

rtdnri

Illegal Bangladeshi immigration is also an issue in the south, but it is not significant enough.

SprinklesNo9257

nepalis do not indulge in crimes, they are honest people, bangladeshis on the other hand are not, also recently there have been a surge in the numbers of illegals, in delhi i see so many slums coming up even in cantt area.

jatayu_baaz

Because most nepalis are either hindu or gurkhas and Bangladeshis are well muslims. We all know which religion is shown as a boogieman to get votes.

kro9ik

Is the reason for asking this question about Nepalis the recent KIIT case? 

I don't think we should be clubbing Nepalis and Bangladeshis together at all considering

Interesting_Buddy_18

Fear mongering politics. In North its anti muslim propaganda 
In Southern states it's language imposition 

Lost-Letterhead-6615

When they are done with Bangladeshis they will come for the Nepalis.

When questions are asked:

1. 56" fake degree supreme leader does not have the balls to do a press conference

2. CEC does not care since he was selected with the blessings of tadipar shah and fake degree PM

3. Chomus trying hard to blend in will take the "nationalist" identity and call you "conspiracy brain"

4. Finally the Twitter trolls and crittu arrive to bootlick supreme leader and defend him


This is the party that came in to remove corruption and not a single supporter has the guts to call out this corruption but they will happily larp to things 50 years in the last done by nehru and indira, bloody hypocrites blots on our nation.

Sud4Gud

they can do all press conferences nothing will happen!!!... they need to agitate get every political party on the ground and surround the election commission ensure they do not leave t heir office and will be there for 30 days!!! ... only then they will understand meaning of democrcy!

Feisty_Reason_6288

&gt;No, i didn't vote for Trump in either election. However yes I'm scared to go to most major cities because of how violent and hateful the left has become. Racist hateful people like you just assume if someone disagrees with you I must be a trump supporter. I am a Norwegian immigrant and lifelong independent and the only time I'm scared for my safety is around leftists.

So...uh...they may not be a trump supporter, but...just don't click the profile.

lying on the internet isn't something they have a problem with

Uuuuuuh, that's not true lol. Removing trash from the estuaries in Cedar Key was a daily task and asking people not to litter was met with death threats. Ocala and Miami were just like anywhere and had its dirty and clean areas... but with an insane amount of abandoned pets.

That post was probably the most blatant attempt of Reddit astroturfing I've ever seen. I've never interacted with any of the subreddits with the "\[something\] interesting" title, nor interacted with political stuff. Why on earth was it recommended?

Also, if those snowflakes think that a messy littered beach means that a country is "third-world", then the countless trailer parks in Bumfuck Nowhere, Arkansas, might as well make the US post-apocalyptic. I feel safer in a city than in one of those places.

Embarrassed-Waltz327

&gt; Did you just call someone a creep after creeping on his comment history?

When his other comments include shit like this:

&gt; Carmela's Body is Mad Ripe. Chick's a thoroughbred. Got the T, the A, flat tummy, those birthing hips. Maedo didn't fall far from Carm's fine ass. All this talk about the hottest woman in the series, people seem to forget that Tony had prime rib at home. She didn't fuck anybody except Tony and Wegler, but it wasn't because she didn't have the goods. I said my "piece." Hehe

Then yes I am absolutely calling him a creep.

Jfc I hate being half japanese when people say shit like:

“ Asians have a culture that values other people. Westerners have a culture that values themselves. This is an American problem. I live in a country which gets a lot of American tourists and I can say with confidence, they are the problem”….

MF you wouldnt say this shit about indian people would you? You wouldnt say that about pakistani people would you? What about the chinese? Like these human stains only ever care about asain when they can use us a fucking yard stick to denigrate other races. They are quite literally only ever talking about japanese people or koreans and MAYBE once in a while another east asian country at random.

It crazy how much I have to fucking explain to people JUST BECAUSE A GROUP FROM A COUNTRY DOES A THING DOSENT MEAN EVERYONE FROM THAT COUNTRY DOES THE SAME THING PEOPLE ARET MONOLITHS JFC. Like not all men, not all women, not all black people or asians or hispanics or whatever (Only exception is acab because you chose to be a cop I didnt choose the pos I am) god damn I hate that the japanese side of me has been reduced to anime and being used as a yard stick to shame other races… shits mad tiring ngl.

I live near Coney Island. I go there all the time with and without my kid. Yes, the one-block patch of beach right across from the subway is often a mess. It's also the most touristy beach section in all of NYC. Going just a few blocks up in either direction is a completely different story. 

I hate how much people who don't fucking live in my city fo out of their way to say how shitty it is. I don't find the one square block of park space in your bumblefuck town where all the worst folks go and mess it up. 

And by the way, the Coney Island community is one of the most passionate local communities in the city. They do so much incredible work to clean other people's mess and keep Coney Island the awesome place it is. Stay in your lane, haters.

mormagils

I find it funny how much republicans were shitting on NYC before this and calling it a literal hellscape but apparently now Mamdani is going to ruin a great city. Also I don’t think they’ve seen real third world cities, doubt there will be slums in the next few years.

If you really think that New York City is a 3rd world city, then I know you've never been to an actual 3rd world country or city in your life. Hell, I'm willing to bet you likely never left your small town or when on vacation, your resort.

SpaceCowboy1929

The bigger drama is that the user created and organic sub is “**damn** that’s interesting”. This new sub, “**wait** that’s interesting” is overrun with bits and engagement accounts that seem to be directly controlled by the site admins. They’re also boosting this sub’s posts with *less* current engagement than the original sub has in a show of apparent front page manipulation.

MadeByTango

If you’re scared to go to cities because they are “in ruins” your opinion isn’t worth anything.

Conservatives could be lined up in a gruel line and they’d still call a democrat run city a third world country.

14. Asians have a culture that values other people. Westerners have a culture that values themselves. This is an American problem. I live in a country which gets a lot of American tourists and I can say with confidence, they are the problem - [archive.org](https://web.archive.org/web/20250629031739/https://old.reddit.com/r/WaitThatsInteresting/comments/1lmoiox/new_york_is_turning_third_world/n0ase3k/?sort=controversial) [archive.today\*](https://archive.today/?run=1&amp;url=https://old.reddit.com/r/WaitThatsInteresting/comments/1lmoiox/new_york_is_turning_third_world/n0ase3k/?sort=controversial "URL failed to archive; click to resubmit it!")

Conservatives  say that well making the country worse 

Trickle down economics  might be the single biggest fuck you to America  tax payers ever

Honestly their comments don’t even matter at this point. They’re just bad faith actors. Downvote and ignore

Got to love this is what turns NYC into a third world country.  Era of tenement housing and mass migration was all American, trash and hookers in the streets and riots when the power went off era was all American, but democrats voting for a democratic socialist in their primary and suddenly turns the city into a third world country.

I swear having a nuanced conversation involving politics on reddit is like super hard mode.

I saw that post and immediately knew it was going to turn into some right wing free for all

Like… you could take a picture at an inopportune time anywhere and say “look, it’s a shithole!” Littering is bad of course but it always ends up turning into “and that’s why it’s immigrants’ fault!” Anyone can litter.

"Third world" is when a beach in one of the most populated areas on the planet has some trash on it

Crime is at very low historical rates but don’t tell conservatives that. Cities are very safe generally. And blue state cities kick the crap out of red state ones in every measure

Anyone happen to catch a screen grab of the image? I wanna see if it really is AI lol

edit: oh it was a video from a travel tiktoker, and I'm gonna say it was real. For one I don't think an AI tiktoker would make themselves a black women

Yes, the good ol’ “groups for social good (unions, government) aren’t perfect, so they should be gotten rid of entirely” - this opinion paid for entirely by the societal locusts known as the top 1%, who would rather not have to corrupt a middle man and just be able to fuck you over without anyone in the way.

If these guys really wanna see a third world city, let's cut off all blue state funding to red states and see exactly how great these Republican-run states are without any of that pesky socialism bringing them down.

Meanwhile, Nebraska's looking at a $250,000,000 shortfall.  Under republicans.

Every person who I have ever had the "x city is a crime infested, 3rd world hellhole" discussion with has never set foot inside that city and will tell you that they never ever will.

Anyone who thinks NYC is a third world country has never been to the third world or NYC
