South Asian @Wellesley Alumnae and Students #RejectCAA_NRC

We the alumnae and students of Wellesley College and members of the South Asian diaspora stand in solidarity with the citizens and residents of India who are protesting the recently-passed Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). CAA amends the Citizenship Act of 1955 and allows for resettlement and path to citizenship for Hindus, Parsis, Buddhists, Jains, and Sikhs but specifically and intentionally excludes Muslims.
CAA is being posited by the right-wing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders, Prime Minister Narender Modi and Minister of Home Affairs Amit Shah, as an effort to help persecuted religious minorities in majority Muslim neighboring countries of Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan. During the civil war between East and West Pakistan, which led to the formation of Bangladesh, thousands of Muslim refugees came to India to escape violence and persecution. This community has now lived in India for over four decades and the Indian government now seeks to expel this vulnerable population. The bill also explicitly excludes Myanmar in attempt to expel and deter Rohingya Muslim refugees.
BJP leaders maintain that CAA will not impact Indian Muslim citizens but this is a farce as low income Indian Muslim citizens without access to identification documents such as birth certificates could be arrested, housed in camps, and deported. Further, if this bill was truly about assisting religious minorities persecuted in neighboring South Asian states, then the bill would explicitly include Christians, Ahmadis, Sufis, Tamil Muslims, and Shia Muslims. This bill isn’t about religious liberty, but rather about Hindu hegemony.
In addition to CAA, Home Minister Amit Shah has also been pushing for a National Registry of Citizens (NRC). The NRC already exists and was recently updated in the state of Assam. Shah is now pushing for all states to update NRC such that undocumented residents of India can be identified, detained, and deported.
CAA and NRC are the antithesis of what the dream of India stands for and perpetuate the divide and conquer techniques of British colonization -- grouping people by religion and caste rather than celebrating the religious, ethnic, regional, and linguistic diversity that comprises the subcontinent and the nation-state of India, a country that touts itself as the world’s largest democracy.
We stand in solidarity with students across India from every religion , region, caste and language who are in the streets protesting CAA and NRC and facing police brutality as a result.
