Public opinion on the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) is markedly polarized. Supporters highlight the act's intent to include persecuted minorities, aligning it with India's historical role as a haven for the oppressed. Conversely, opponents voice concerns regarding the act's impact on secularism, national identity, and potential discrimination, particularly emphasizing security risks and the need for stringent vetting processes for refugees.

Corrupt BJ P will determine, who is citizen and who is not.

Amit Shah minted thousands of crores using demonetization, via his cooperative bank

Now, de-citizenasitation will be initiated, unless you are ready to pay 5 lakhs to police/party fund, your citizenship will be cancelled.

Citizen protect themselves from bad roads, bad aqi, goons, municipal bribes etc. We don't need your protection. Also those illegals pay to babus for their document so sack babus who get placement like khandekar.

There's something about this rhetoric (shoring up power by blaming country's ills on a "illegals") that sounds like they were studying the US right wing and brainstorming how to implement it in India.

Even at the most direst of times for the country with multiple superpowers trying to cut us down, you have this sorry excuse of a leader attempting his usual hate-filled diversion to suck up all the nation's energies, instead of rallying and inspiring the nation to fight back. It has been 11 years of failure and self-sabotage. How much longer can this go on?

You have no idea how many muslims change religion get into india 

Rohingyas, and more recently Bangladeshis 

And they get full support from Mamta Banerjee support as in ration cards aadhar card 

So they speak Bengali have hindu names and namaz and you wonder why indian government doesn't offer asylum

Careless-Working-Bot

How will you verify they are minorities then ?

itisverynice

Exactly 

Seconding another comment that how will you ensure that they are legit minorities and legit cases in need of asylum

I am 100% sure that a lot more Muslims who are just poor will try hard to abuse this system, forge documents saying they are christians and somehow cross border from bangladesh/pakistan into india

Its an unfortunate situation where you cant let imposters in and due to that the legit cases are often the ones that suffer

We actually work only on promises look around our cities...they all make fake promises

kind_narsist_0069

Our govt doesnt even care about us. You think they care for pakistani just because they are Hindus?

If so then yousuf bin ladden and saddam syed ali will say they are Buddhist and seek asylum and start a kids factory and get 6-7 kids in 5 years then bl0w them selves up killing Indians, nah let them get proper documentation and wait the period.

Why do you think america backs down so many mexicans at the border and why can't it simply allow them and grant visa??

We can't even verify if they are muslims or sleeper cells.

They could be ISI agents. I understand the plight of minorities in muslim countries but a protocol must be followed before letting people in from enemy states.

It hurts but I think we should allow a one time frame movement for Hindus in pakistan to enter based on them being hindus for the last 10 years or from birth whichever is less

Pakistani Hindus think hindus in India are in better condition?
Do they watch aaj tak there too?

Futurehaqq01



National security must take precedence over religion or any other consideration. India is justified in not granting visas solely on the basis of religious identity, even if the applicant is Hindu. Similarly, no developed Muslim-majority country grants visas purely on the basis of shared religion with applicants from developing nations

I would like to say that the credit belongs to our secular constitution, our politicians who interpret it as pseudo-secularism, our central government's unwillingness to act on it for vote bank politics and our godly judges who do discriminate on delivery of justice and verdict of justice on the basis of religion more often than you think.

Sadly, allowing people without any scrutiny would mean that it will become the preferred route of entry for the terrorists and intelligence operatives as well.

  
This problem has already been faced on the eastern border with Bangladesh and Myanmar.

Okay ...what about a child rigorously training for sports... Lets assume a comparable risk ... Then what would u say about him ... Is it constitutionally valid for him to train under extreme heat .. doing heavy weight lifting ( not normal for his age ) ... Can you stop him .. if its his voluntary activity ..?

_whatever_nvm

Please read the preamble of the constitution. 

LIBERTY of thought, expression, belief, faith and worship.

Thank you for thinking “on behalf” of a citizen on how should he practice his liberty. Perhaps you could have requested (/s) him to say how “abused” he is by expressing his liberty. That would have really helped this cause.

In view of the upcoming season of festivals, thanks for making us reflect on all the “violation of rights” done by “religion”.

NewWheelView

This is the complete matter of faith , and a thing to remind you is that 
There is no law on earth above the individual liberty .
If you try to stop children from doing religious practices then you are just simply trying to put humans into chains , which can be controlled by few persons...
Just for eg if Parliament passes an act that every newborn child will not remain with their parents , they will be raised in separate houses where they will learn social values and they will only live for the betterment of the State / Nation (Platos Nation ) 
... Will you allow your kids to go there ....

Tight-Box-6489

Well it is sort of paradoxical situation. If according to your analysis it is violation of article 21 even though it is done by free will 0f child than if you stop him you are violating his right to express and practice his religious belif which is not in contrary with public moral

You are mysogynit dude,who crying about alimony despite meagre divorce rate in country and thinking all women in the gossip sub are after your money. you don't know shit about woman nor child right. I feel sad for your wife.

Hour_Smile_3577

\&gt; But then we also have Article 21, which ensures the right to life, and that has been interpreted by courts to include the right to health, safety, and protection from harm. Isn’t allowing a child to carry 21 kg over hundreds of kilometers a violation of that right?

Is a child below the age of 14 allowed to walk on roads exposing him to the possibility of accidents? Is circumcision (practised on young boys by Mulsimand Jewish families), mostly in absence of a medical professional, a violation of this act?

Unless we have some court precedent, it's safe to say this does not violate any right given the act is voluntary.

TraditionalSky3399

Par yeh article 25 right to practice your religion mai bhi toh aaeyega

Conscious_Heron5536

I respect your idea but it's a  far fetch progressive idea which a country like us, struggling to even keep our environment clean won't be able to see.

Few would see it as an attack on religion and say what about them, few would bring in other children in begging, hotels, tire workshops etc etc.

Nothing good will come out of a country where every issue has to be filtered into a lens of religion first. Then the wellbeing.

This post is clearly about the boy's health and well being, see if anyone even talks about the boy's well being.  It's all about being correct politically and religiously.

No. If the child's taking Kanvar by himself and by his own accord, then no! If he's doing it because of his devotion to Lord Shiva, then again, no.
Unless forced by an adult, this seems fine to me.

_dooms_day__

To whoever's saying it's his choice or 'free will', is the 'choice' of minors and their consent even considered in a way similar to POSCO act?  I'm just curious.

In Japan, forced participation in religious activities is classified as religious abuse.

Usko koi maar pit ke kawad yatra mai laya hai kya..if not..then let him live his life..!! He is doing that with his free will..and in Kawad yatra many senior citizens and females also participate with their free will.. So just chill.. And to be honest by reading your paragraphs I think you don't know about "Kawad yatra" more, other wise why someone will put monetary related topics in it.. As you have mentioned here that "200-300km", I have never seen someone covering that distance by walking only in Kawd yatra..cause for covering long distance devotees mainly take tempo van for some distance and then by walking (mainly it's a mixed process generally devotees do) And by the way if you want to you can also join in The Kawad yatra 😊🙏

Illustrious-Yard1403

Constitutional RIGHT means it's your RIGHT not to be forced for harassment etc

RIGHT doesn't get violated when doing something out of own choice

This is not "employment"

It would be appreciated when such views are expressed on other religions too... Like child marriages happening in muslims, little girls made to wear hijab/burka

While it may not legally violate Article 24 or the Child Labour Act due to absence of employment, it violates the spirit of child protection. Government or NGOs can install first-aid camps, hydration points, and voluntary checkups. Red flags (weight load, dehydration risk) must lead to preventive intervention.

SisterSalty

This is a contradictory situation, the child is doing it most probably out f devotion, but it is the duty of the parent/guardian to protect him from this kind of thing, devotion is one thing but putting yourself in risk is wrong. So your question should be addressed to his parents/guardian. Legally it is not a crime, as he is not employed and also he is doing it out of devotion

Temporary_Emu6973

The assumption that child is forced to do it is incorrect, here the child is doing it on his own..
The idea that parents must have encouraged him can’t be proven in any court..

It's one of them questions, where the judiciary will quote a French author who never wrote anything about India, and will give the judgement they want to if the need ever arises.

What was the local collector or sdm doing?

The court will take the suo moto cognizance and would do mental gymnastics how it's not "Labour" per se as purely by economic logic he isn't getting paid, doing it for fixed/unfixed hours, is not subjected to any cruelty by an exterior force (Boss/Employer), is not employed by any agency which is making him do this. 
Add to this his own religious rights and there you have it, "religious rights trumping basic human decency" yet again!

The Indian government has extended the cut-off date for the Citizenship (Amendment) Act to December 31, 2024, allowing certain minorities from neighboring countries to stay in India without valid documents. This decision has triggered protests relating to identity and integration concerns.
