A list of controversial citizenships in northeastern India has left nearly 2 million people stateless and their political supporters have been slammed.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Indian nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party runs the Assam National Citizens Registry (NRC) and is listed on the list, stating that it is necessary to find “foreign infiltrators”.
Critics say the NRC's progress reflects the BJP's goal of serving Hindus, and most of those excluded are considered Muslims.
