Because the Hindus are other minorities (Sikhs, Buddihsts, Jians, etc) are historically from India. Its their homeland and they are persecuted elsewhere, mostly in Pakistan (read about what they did in 1971 war in bangladesh. That was a genocide) Israel provides citizenship to any persecuted Jews that come for refuge to their homeland. This has been widely accepted in the world. Then why should it be illegal for Indi…

How about Farsi/Zoroastrians and Christians? Either you include Muslims, because all south asian muslims can also be claimed as indian ethnicity historically, or you disinclude everyone based on that argument.

Please check the details of the bill before engaging in FUD.

The CAA includes Hindus, Sikhs, Christians, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis...

To those who are questioning why, this is why (reports from Pakistan's most reputed news paper) https://www.google.com/search?q=Hindu+girl+converted+site%3A... Or feel free to search "Hindu girl converted site:dawn.com"

You can also Google how Minority Muslims are declared "Non Muslim"

And you can refer to my comment below where I said that Ahmadis should be included in my opinion.

We know you are a Hindu, you are a brahmin and you support BJP. Please don't try the IT Cell tactics here. This election was through EVMs not through people

Seems like, you have lot of hate for Modi and BJP. I'm a Roman Catholic for your confirmation. I don't belong to BJP IT cell, you can search on google with my username, I have accounts in many development related sites from long back.

I never question the downvotes because HN frowns on it. But in this instance in genuinely curious why?

Above comment points to Pakistan's most reputed English newspaper, not a FUD site. Or do the plight of Hindus don't matter??

This law doesn't apply to them. This applies to refugees from neighboring countries. What is wrong with that?

True. Nothing wrong in being a bigot.

Nothing wrong in protecting and giving sheltor to the oppressed from the oppressors.

If that makes me a bigot, not sure how, but I'll take it.

Yeah Gujarat 2002 was in Pakistan right/??

Considering how you continue to bring up an issue that was disproved multiple times at every level (That too during Congress rule so you cannot accuse Modi of manipulating investigating agencies and courts), It might have been. Continuing to harp on an non-issue like this in public is the reason why the voters keep voting Modi in and the opposition out.

cause Our courts never really rule for justice when muslims are in the receiving end. Time and time again. Gujarat riots, babar masjid and many more. This is a non issue for fascists but it is for the victims.

It seems to be pretty much aimed at reducing muslim citizenship, because of how it treats people from different religions and the clear preference for hindu in the government. Do you any response for that? It seems analogous to the us muslim ban.

If a section of society "A" that is oppressed by "B" is being helped by government how is that illogical ? For some reason if that section "A" are Hindus suddenly people claim that to be anti-muslim. Hindus in neighboring counties have no place to go, government of India made that simpler for them to get citizenship because of bad behavior of prominent religions in those counties.

When there's a dominant group (A) that makes laws to help itself because it feels under threat against a much weaker group (B), it's pretty easy to see that A did an unfair and unreasonable thing. In the US this is the current party in power making laws against immigration of Muslims and claiming the 'other' is illegitimate, in India, it is?

The fact that they're not included shows the bias that the government had.

It's obvious

> and I'm not Hindu. Must be a Hindu atheist

Your point being? The person could be a Christian, Parsi, Jain, Buddhist etc. BJP has followers from all these religions.

Ha ha! Not! And did you forget to mention Muslims :)

Yeah sure! A bunch of anonymous internet accounts prove that you are Roman Catholic!

I have a question - As a Roman Catholic, what is your opinion of India's ancient caste system?
