Citizenship Amendment Act
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019 was passed by the Parliament of India on 11 December 2019. It amended the Citizenship Act of 1955 by providing a path to Indian citizenship for Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Parsi, and Christian religious minorities fleeing persecution from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan. Muslims were not given such eligibility. The act was the first time religion had been used as a criterion for citizenship under Indian law.
The amendment has been widely criticised as discriminating on the basis of religion, in particular for excluding Muslims.
Major protests against the Act were held at universities in India. Students at Aligarh Muslim University and Jamia Millia Islamia alleged brutal suppression by the police. The protests have led to the death of several protesters, injuries to protesters and police personnel etc.

controversy :
✔️With the Citizenship Amendment Bill 2019 turning into an Act, there's a sense of confusion among many that the CAA and NRC will deny citizenship to certain existing Indian citizens or it is against Indian Muslim.
