While Judaism is excluded despite never having any conflict with them.

Why the same excuse which is used to exclude muslims and Jews is not used to exclude Christians?

Are they afraid of western retribution? What is the logic behind keeping Christianity but excluding Judaism?

There are plenty of Christian countries for Christians to go to just like muslims. So, why include Christians?

      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.

      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.
