Respect for all religions, equal treatment of all classes is a basic democratic principle. The Government of India has recently implemented the Citizenship Amendment Act 2019 in the country. This Act provides for granting Indian citizenship to non-Muslims coming to India from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan after facing religious persecution. Under this law, people of Hindu, Sikh, Parsi, Jain, Buddhist and Christian communities will get Indian citizenship. Muslims have been kept out of this law, which is being opposed.
