Answer:
Explanation:
The Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2003 was passed by the Parliament of India in December 2003,[2] and received presidential assent in January 2004.[3] It is labelled "Act 6 of 2004".[3]
The Act amended The Citizenship Act, 1955 by:
introducing and defining a notion of "illegal migrant",[4][5][6] who could be jailed or deported.[7]
making illegal immigrants ineligible for citizenship by registration or by naturalisation,[8][9][10][11]
disallowing citizenship by birth for children born in India if either parent is an illegal immigrant,[12][13][14] and
introducing a notion of Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) for citizens of other countries who are of Indian origin.[15][16]
The Act also mandated the Government of India to construct and maintain a National Register of Citizens.[17]
Scholar Anupama Roy described this amendment as a "hinge point" from which emerged the two contradictory tendencies represented by the Citizenship Amendment Bill 2016 (eventually to be an Act in 2019) and the National Register of Citizens.[18] These two developments gave rise to large-scale protests all over India in December 2019.
