Abstract
This paper examines the idea of citizenship introduction in India and the importance of citizenship in determining who gets to elect the country's leaders. Almost every country adheres to the notion of citizenship, which has given rise to many debates and, at the same time, established a clearly defined nation. You may get a thorough explanation of the guidelines that must be followed and the requirements for becoming an Indian citizen in this essay. In December of 2019, the Indian Parliament passed the Citizenship (Amendment) Act. (CAA). A new rule will make it much simpler for non-Muslim refugees leaving conflict in Bangladesh, Afghanistan or Pakistan to become citizens of India. Widespread demonstrations broke out in India shortly after the CAA was approved, leading to the government's use of force to suppress the protesters. In view of this legislation and the associated idea for a state wide National Registry of Citizens, the widespread deprivation of voting rights of Indian Muslims is of great concern. This essay summarizes the CAA and talks about how India's great stride toward religious freedom has historically influenced the country and will continue to do so in the future.
