Where Do You Free Poverty Affidavit: Fill & Download for Free

Google ImagesMr Swami is right but the government has its own vested interests. No Indian politician wants to be seen as pro rich , they want to be seen as pro poor , socialist and so on .Recall “ Suit Boot Ki Sarkar ” jibe against PM Modi by Rahul Gandhi[1][1][1][1] , who himself was showing his torn Kurta pocket as a sign of poverty, though he owns declared and understated assets of Rs 8 Crores[2][2][2][2] .Late Arun Jaitley , the Finance Minister who presented 5 budgets had declared assets of Rs 110 Crores[3][3][3][3] , Current HM Amit Shah has declared assets of 30 crores[4][4][4][4] , arrested ex FM P. Chidambaram and his son’s assets are not known , they are so hidden to assess.And we expect these super rich politicians to do away with income tax . It is also a big tool for harassment of political or other kind of adversaries.So, despite its many advantages of scrapping income tax, they even avoid raising the income tax exemption limit.To engage public from this torture , government comes out with new promises . In 2011 , it came with a new direct tax code . It was made by same Income tax people who are known to complicate the things . They came with 400 page , 208 sections and 22 schedules as replacement of old 1961 Income Tax Act [5][5][5][5] . It was presented by Mr Pranab Mukherjee as FM in Loksabha in 2011 but then it went to dustbin because it was old wine in new bottle made by same people.Now this government has again came with a new Income Tax Code[6][6][6][6] for which a bulky report has been submitted few days back.I am sure , this will be again same thing in new garb , aimed at harassing the honest middle class tax payers , instead of simplifying the tax issues for growth of economy . As long as same bureaucrats are part of creating the Act , it can never be different.Actually our Constitution does not impose any restriction on amount of tax to be levied on public and also there is no limit for debts . So while government preaches savings to public , it itself believes in deficit budget, to impose more taxes on existing tax payers.Now when Government has tightened the tax noose around businesses by applying GST , old established industrialists and businessmen have slowed down their activities because they are accustomed to doing business without paying actual taxes .The goverments which never care for salaried people , becomes quite worried for investors industrialists and businessmen and immediately tax rates are cut , concessions, stimulus packages are announced[7][7][7][7] .I had written this earlier in March 2016 before GST implementation in July 2017[8][8][8][8] :In my view , if income tax is paid by only 4% population , it needs to be scrapped or exemption limit should be raised to Rs. 1 crore . It is injustice largely to service class , which suffers most because of TDS provisions while business class has all means to avoid it .In my 24 years service , I paid personal income tax , which if saved in equity / land , would have become more than 5 crores . My acquaintance and relatives who started 10 years later in business had all luxuries of life as they never had to pay any income tax and invested all surplus money in land and became crorepati in 10 years .So , this unfair tax needs to be stopped , if govt is failing since last 70 years to extract income tax from business class .There can be many ways to recoup the income tax earnings for govt.Assuming that 3 % people i.e. roughly 3.5 crore people pay 3.50 lakh crore income tax , it comes about Rs. 1 lakh per income tax payee . Out of that about 20% is spent in running Income tax department's salaries and other expenses . so net gains to government would be about Rs. 80000/- per year per person . Many economists and Mr. Subramaniam Swami has also advocated the scrapping of personal income tax or levying it only on super rich .Alternately , govt. can earn much more money by going for presumptive tax if one owns a house beyond certain floor area , car , gold , shares , agricultural or urban land beyond minimum threshold , govt. can get much more revenue because one cannot hide house , land , vehicles .A bank transaction tax of Rs 1 per transaction or entry to Malls , hotels , restaurants can give more money than the current revenue from income tax .But I think these suggestions are already implemented via service tax .See following data on service tax growth : Source Service TaxIt was more than 2,10,000 lakh crores last year and has yearly growth of more than 15% and Service tax has now become 18% in GST , so it is contributing more than 5 lakh crores now , growing at 15% per annum.Google Images​The only issue is that business persons are extracting service tax ( now GST) on each transaction but not paying it to government by showing turn over less than 10 lakh exemption limit .I have personally inquired and found that they pay a nominal presumptive fixed tax ( Composition Scheme in GST) while recovering GST from everyone on huge turnover and showing it on thermal paper receipt only .It is biggest scam in India by amount , done in connivance with tax officials , just like VAT in states . You can see the total number of establishments paying service tax as 17 lakh, which is way less than actual .Removing such ceiling on service tax turnover and strict compliance of service tax can give more than twice the current income tax revenue . All citizens should be given a Whatsapp number where they can upload receipts of restaurant payments indicating payment of service tax , so that all establishments pay the levied income tax to govt after turnover exemption is withdrawn .I think govt. can go for scraping income tax or raise ceiling of income tax to Rs. 1 crore and do away with income tax corruption, tax terrorism for everyone, which benefits only income tax department staff , CAs , lawyers and wastes millions of hours of middle class people, senior citizens in filing of return and getting refund of over deducted taxes .It will leave more money in hands of service class, who form majority in income tax payments because of TDS and that will spurt real growth in economy , so service tax collection increase will compensate the income tax revenue .Finally , I believe that most tax money is going down the drain if it is being used for fulfilling absurd political promises to win elections like free Laptop, TV , WiFi etc rather than developing roads , railways and power infrastructure . So , tax utilization is bigger issue than tax collection .If you read 1961 Income Tax Act, it has ridiculous , outdated provisions for tax filing and CBDT adds more salt to injury by naming IT return forms as Saral , Sugam , Sahaj etc while making the forms lengthier with each column writing section of IT Act , which you need to Google to understand or go to a CA.In current ITR 3 return form, anyone who earns a business income above Rs 250000 annually , needs to file detailed balance sheet , profit and loss account and keep 6 different registers for ledger , bill book , customers etc along with receipt of any expenses worth more than Rs 50 . These are to be preserved for next 6 years for inspection of IT officer. Obviously that will need services of an accountant. Does a peon in govt service drawing more than Rs 250000 annually require to do it ? These limits are not deliberately raised for 10 years while government salary gets doubled in same period.They cannot increase even this limit to a respectable limit say Rs 5 lakh , for small businesses , so economy will be doomed and people will be forced to transact in cash.With CGST alone mopping up more than Rs 50000 crores and excise on petrol of equal amount every month , there is no need to impose income tax on income above Rs 250000 per annum . Income Tax exemption limit should be made above 1 crore to save Indians from this paperwork drudgery and tax terrorism.Unfortunately , government controlled by politicians has unlimited appetite to spend tax and borrowed money for the ever growing list of useless scheme for vote grabbing , so it is not going to happen in future.We do not see the fact that most of the MPs are millionaire before joining politics and they join it to become billionaires and they do not care for people harassed by these taxes[9][9][9][9] :total of 475 members of the new Lok Sabha are 'crorepatis' with Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath's son Nakul Nath topping the list, the Association of Democratic Reforms said Sunday.The ADR arrived at the figure of 'crorepati' MPs after analysing the affidavits on assets and liabilities of 539 new MPs.The ADR said it was unable to access affidavits of three of the 542 new MPs -- two of the BJP and one of the Congress. The BJP won 303 seats in the 17th Lok Sabha and the Congress 52.Elections were held for 542 of the 543 Lok Sabha seats. The election for Vellore Lok Sabha seat had been cancelled by the Election Commission of India, citing abuse of money power. A fresh date is yet to be announced. Two members of the 545-strong House are nominated.Out of the 301 new BJP MPs, whose affidavits were examined, 265 (88 per cent) were found crorepati, while all 18 winners of its NDA partner Shiv Sena had assets exceeding Rs one crore.In the Congress, 43 out of its 51 MPs (totalling 96 per cent) were fund to be 'crorepati'.Similarly, 22 (96 per cent) out of 23 DMK MPs, 20 (91 per cent) out of 22 of the Trinamool Congress MPs and 19 (86 per cent)out of 22 YSR Congress MPs had assets exceeding Rs one crore.The top three crorepatis MPs are from the Congress, the ADR said.Nath, who won from Chhindwara, Madhya Pradesh, has declared assets worth Rs 660 crore, followed by Vasanthakumar H from Kanniyakumari, Tamil Nadu (Rs 417 crore) and D K Suresh from Bengaluru Rural, Karnataka (Rs 338 crore).The average of assets per winner in the Lok Sabha elections is Rs 20.93 crore.There are 266 members in the new Lok Sabha whose assets are Rs 5 core or above.The number of crorepati MPs elected in 2009 Lok Sabha elections was 315 (58 per cent) and 443 (82 per cent) in the 2014.So, rest assured that Kashmir and Ram Janmabhoomi issue may get resolved finally but this is not going to happen anytime .You may see this answer also Yashas Shukla (यशस शुक्ल)'s answer to How long will the 2020 economic recession last?

Each day, I wake up, brush my teeth, take a bath, and promise I will not answer any IIT/NaMo-AK-Gandhi/religion related questions on Quora and spend my day in happiness.Along comes a question, whose very premise, is infantile and immature, whose tone is ridiculously belligerent and attitude ludicrously bellicose.Before I give an answer, I will analyse the question.Most of the people see it to be a shortcut to earn more money and fame! Yea, I admit, clearing the entrance is hell lot of pain and I envy people who did that. But later what is the point in going abroad and earning and settling there?Clearing the entrance is a lot of pain, you say. You envy IITians, you say. What is the point of going abroad and earning and settling there.Precisely because of the reasons listed.There are 'few' IITians who came and become entrepreneurs and employed people here, but what about the rest? Aren't they selfish? With such a less fee they graduate and tax payers money will be used to run the whole infrastructure!Where does it say that you cannot be selfish? Nowhere. Does the government make us sign an affidavit saying that you have to stay here? Nope. Does the term indentured servitude come to mind? Sure, now that I say it.End of the day, they show off (Not all but many!!)Thanks, but our professors taught us to show-off. (Not all but many!!)Now that we are done with some drama. Let me outline some facts.3% of the GDP is spent on education. 20% of that 3% on tertiary education, split on Govt. institutions and university grants. IITs get 150M of 2T of this GDP. Which comes down to...0.0075%. So if you pay tax, and I am not saying that you don't, for 1 Rupee of tax paid, IITs get 0.000075 rupee or 0.0075 paise. Thanks.Do you know the placement statistics of IITs? Well, less that 5% actually get jobs abroad. Speaking as one of the 5%, for my department of 80 fellas, only 3 have jobs abroad. That's less than 5%, correct? This ratio is shared in all IITs. So the idea that "Not-all-but-many" go abroad and settle, needs some refinement or data behind it. Take your pick. You can pick on me as much as you want, but do not pick on them. Because they still work in the country. Almost all of them.As you might be aware, we have earned independence from the British some 65 years ago. This means that India is a free country and there are no restrictions to work anywhere in the country or anywhere outside it (subject to that country's law). This also means that the government does not get to dictate where the student should work, where should they go, and how grateful should they feel.IITs churn out professors who are on all advisory boards for policy and reform.Your arguments, though extremely impassioned, lack any logic or sense. If I take your argument the other way this is how I will sound. If you have traveled by the train, or bus, or road, all of them have been built by public funds and tax payers money. So you use the country's resources everyday. You should be much more grateful than me. I do not use them on a daily basis. If you eat food, that has been subsidized by farmer diesel and kerosene subsidies, you are being a huge drain on our country's debt. I eat "outside". If you are working in a country, you are indirectly contributing to make one person unemployed. In a country where there is 11% unemployment, you are directly contributing to crime and poverty. I am not a leech on my country's employment statistics. And I still send my hard earned dollars home to mitigate my families' liabilities. So basically, I am A MUCH LESS drain on my country's resources on a daily basis than you are. Are you sure you are paying enough in tax?As I am one of the "but-many!!" who leave the country, and am a flamboyant show-off, I would knock one guy off his job, as I would be on an average, smarter than him and with international experience to boot. That is why I don't do it. Do you still think we are selfish.Smooches.

Though, I don't identify as a Libertarian per se. But I would like to attempt this question to let the people know about the Left perspective on CAA and NRC and why we oppose both of them. Here, I won't attempt the second part of the question which asks whether CAA is unconstitutional or not as I'm not a constitutional expert.Below are the reasons why I oppose CAA.Major issues with the CAAGovt has power doesn’t mean they can do anything they want. We the people have conferred the power to the govt, which cannot be done in whims and fancies of the ruling party.Most of BJP members and their followers keep on citing that the law is meant for religious persecuted minorities of other countries. Can you point out a single phrase of law in the act where the term RELIGIOUS PERSECUTED being used anywhere in the law legally? Please read the law carefully. Not anywhere the term religious persecuted minorities being used.. It just said 6 religious people from 3 countries can seek citizenship. Nothing about religious persecution. Why so? Because BJP knows well, if they mention religious persecution, the illegal immigrants need to prove in court, they faced religious persecution which is almost near impossible to prove. How can a Bengali Hindu prove Bangladesh had religious persecution? Most of the Bengalis ran into India primarily due to poverty, not religious persecution which is too less in that country. So to prove such thing is hard, so BJP drafted a law that give the blanket right to certain religious citizens of 3 countries to seek Indian citizenship for no reason.Refugees come to India owning to many reasons. Its never based on religion alone. For example, a good percentage of Bengalis came to India in 1971 when Pakistan launched Operation searchlight. It was an ethnic genocide which they implied over every Bengalis, irrespective Muslims or Hindus. Lakhs of Bengali Muslims were persecuted by equally Muslim West Pakistan and they ran into India to save their lives. So as Hindus. How can you say, the Hindus who ran into India have a clear reason to become Indians, while not Muslims when both were persecuted in 1971? The next round of movement came in 80s and 90s when Bangladesh was suffering extreme poverty. In that time, lot of Hindus and Muslims of that country moved into India to seek a livelihood. How can you say, Hindus can move in, not Muslims, when both faced same problem? Thats the key area which we criticize. You cannot look just religion and grant citizenship. The reason for seeking refugees are multifold. The reason must be valid, not the religion.India is not the NATURAL HOME OF HINDUS. India is not Israel to say India as the home of Hindus around the world. India is a secular nation and India is home to every Indian whether they follow any religion or no religion. A Pakistani Hindu is primarily a Pakistani, not Indian. If he has to come to India seeking refugee, the reason must be valid to the context, not his religion. What difference does exist if both Shia and Hindu are persecuted in Pakistan in equal levels, but one is allowed and other not allowed?India is bound by its constitution. We don’t need to make OUR RULES looking at what neighbours do in their country. If they persecute their citizens, it's their headache. We don’t need to change our rules because neighbours do so. If Pakistan is partial to Sunni Muslims and persecutes Hindus, why should India say, we will favour only Hindus of Pakistan, not Muslims? We need to focus the principle of our law, ie equality to all. If a Shia or Sunni from Pakistan seeks refugee in our country, its equally the same as that of a Hindu coming, as long as their reason is valid. The threat over life doesn’t change with religion.Now let me tell you the key problem here. India follows English Common Law, where the source of Law is legal precedent. Today a govt in power makes a law that discriminates refugees on basis of religion. If it becomes legal, then that concept of discrimination also becomes legal. Another set of future laws can be drafted citing this as precedent. We cannot have discriminatory laws for our citizens too. Moreover, these refugees are going to part of India, so how can a discriminatory law define their ADHERENCE TO SPIRIT OF INDIAN CONSTITUTION?CAA as standalone may be problematic to the spirit of the constitution. But with NPR/NRC, it becomes more problematic. If you look, in many parts of India, people don’t have many documents to prove their citizenship. It varies due to many reasons. India is so diverse, which we cannot see thro’ perspective an urban middle class alone. I have lived many years in remote locations of Rajasthan, Gujarat, MP etc where people don’t know who is ruling them. I still remember, one family telling, that its Jodhpur Raja who is their ruler as they haven’t understood we are living in democratic era. That much backward India is across many parts of the nation. Majority of our documents systems are outdated, not properly registered, not properly maintained. This means a lot of people, especially the weaker lower strata of society will struggle NRC. Thats why no sensible govt did so. Now the problem is if any other religions people are out of NRC, they can claim citizenship back with CAA. In North India, people are of similar stock. A Hindu person living in MP who if out of NRC, can make an affidavit that he was a refugee from Pakistan and claim citizenship. This option will be denied to a Muslim, if he gets out of NRC. Thats where the problem comes in. CAA becomes a sort of filter only for Muslims.We Malayalees are fighting, not because we are affected, but we cherish our identity as Indians. We cannot live minding just our own matter. In that case, whats the need of Indian tag? Can’t we be independent? If we need to be Indian, we need to understand the implication of CAA/NRC at large across India and this act is meant to communalize and create a second class citizenship. I have seen how Muslims live as second class citizens in Gujarat. This Modi-Shah wants to replicate the same across India. Thats where the problem is…Now coming to why I oppose NRC. Some people have this misconception that if you lose citizenship via NRC then you won't be able to gain it back via CAA. Even when the Home Minister of India has made it crystal clear that certain religious communities shouldn't fear NRC.Moreover, when we talk about NRC then why do we ignore NPR which according to the government records itself is the first step towards NRC.NPR is first step of NRC, Opposition says citing govt recordsApoorv Ranjan's share of "Some NPR data may or may not be used for nationwide NRC: Ravi Shankar Prasad" in Indian LeftistsFurther, let me quote some excerpt from one of my previous answer : Apoorv Ranjan's answer to What are the complications in the implementation of NPR and NRC?I have already explained in detail in my answer the issue which I have with CAA and NRC. Kindly read the answer as well as the posts linked in the answer to know in detail how disastrous CAA and NRC would be.Anyways, let me say it again. I don't have any issue with CAA to be precise. The government just needs to remove the religion criteria from the act and instead of it they may include - “victims of religious persecution who have migrated to India from Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh on or before 31st December, 2014 would be granted Indian citizenship”. That's it, this will solve the issue once for all. Now, why do we want this specific amendment in the bill? For that you need to read my previous answer properly.Coming to NRC. The NRC violates the basic rule of law. Suppose if you murder someone. Then the burden doesn't lie upon you to prove that you are innocent. But the burden lies upon the state to prove that you are guilty of the crime. This basic law contradicts with the NRC. NRC assumes that you are an illegal immigrant unless you prove it otherwise. The burden lies upon you to prove that you are an Indian citizen. While, if we are to follow the basic rule of law then it should be the responsibility of the Indian government to prove that you are an illegal immigrant.Now, since the NRC has assumed us to be an illegal immigrant. So how exactly are we suppose to prove that we are Indians. Of all the material which I have read on this topic. I believe, the Indian government consider DOB certificate as an authentic proof of citizenship. Which many of us, especially, the previous generation and the downtrodden section of the society even of the present generation won't be having. How exactly will these people prove their citizenship. These people whose forefathers have been living in India for centuries would be declared as an illegal immigrant just because of not providing a DOB certificate. Then they will have to go through the foreigner's tribunal court which would be a last chance given to them to prove their citizenship. How exactly will these people arrange money to run around the court, bribe the Indian beurocrats, pay for the lawyer's. And mind you, even a small spelling mistake in the document will not be accepted as we already saw in the Assam NRC. Activist Saket Gokhale has framed out a legal way to stop the implementation of NRC. Do read my post on it : An appealEven bigger question is - What exactly is the need of NRC in our country. According to the official data of the Indian government i.e according to the 2011 census the number of illegal immigrants in more than 500 districts out of 640 had a percentage of illegal immigrant of less than 0.5%. Assam which has faced migration from Bangladesh the most has a population of illegal immigrant of just 4%. Take the case of Assam NRC for example. It took 10 years for its completion costed 1600 crore for a population of 3.2 crore and 29 people died in detention centres and some of them were later found to be Indians. If the cost of conducting NRC in Assam which had a population of 3.2 crore was 1600 crore then imagine the cost of conducting a nationwide NRC. Not to forget the incompetent Indian beurocracy and the incompetent government.Wipro says Assam NRC data went offline due to non-payment of duesWhat Does Demography Reveal About Immigration Into West Bengal?CAA needs some amendment. While NRC is an economical disaster. The biggest victim of this useless exercise would be the poor people. Remember, more than 150 people died during the disastrous demonetisation. Others stood in long queues to get their own money. The rich people made it through demonetisation anyway. Same would be the case here except it would be much more disastrous in magnitude than demonetisation. People who are supporting it would regret it later.When an activist filed an RTI to seek the citizenship proof of Modi. Then the PMO replied that Modi doesn't need a citizenship certificate because he is an Indian by birth.Modi Doesn't Need Citizenship Certificate, He’s Indian By Birth: PMO In RTI Reply | HW EnglishIf Modi is a citizen of India by birth then so are we. Then so is the 60 year old Taxi driver. Try to get my point. The politicians, the celebrities, the beurocrats can get away saying the same the thing as revealed in the RTI - “I'm the citizen of India by birth according to the section 3 of the Citizenship Act, 1955”. But this option won't be available to us or our parents. They could be marked as doubtful citizens if they say the same thing as was said by the PMO in its reply to the RTI.Haryana CM wants NRC in his state and he himself don't have proof of his citizenship.No documents with Haryana govt to prove citizenship of CM Manohar Lal Khattar, Governor, reveals RTII would wholeheartedly support NPR and NRC provided the criteria is set the same for everyone irrespective of whether he is a politician or a taxi driver. The game should be fair and equal for all the citizens of India including the politicians, celebrities and the beurocrats. Doesn't matter whether we are able to make it through NRC or not. Atleast, if the game is fair then we can enjoy our morning tea in the detention centre :)I would like to counter the arguments of Mr Akshay Kulkarni in the answer. Since it's an extremely lengthy comment so I believe, it would be better to counter it in the answer itself.As far as first point is concerned then it doesn't even matter whether there are more number of people who support CAA or not. The point was, even if the BJP has the majority it can't implement or pass whatever bill it wants. And if it does then the Constitution has given us the right to criticise, oppose or even protest against it. We are living in a Democratic country which doesn't work upon majoritarian arguments. I hope you know the meaning of Democracy. As far as Dr Manmohan Singh supporting the bill is concerned, then I wonder how is this point even relevant here.The second pointAll the authentic sources reveal that around 8 to 10 million people migrated to India from Bangladesh in 1971. I would like to post 2 of the links below.1971 Bangladesh genocide - WikipediaThe Genocide the U.S. Can't Remember, But Bangladesh Can't ForgetNow, what about the claim that majority of them migrated to India due to poverty and in search of job opportunities. You can Google - “Illegal Migration from Bangladesh : Deportation, Border Fences and Work Permit”. It's a 120 page detailed PDF document about the illegal immigrants from Bangladesh. And in recent times more Indians have started migrating to Bangladesh.Foreign minister: Indians entering Bangladesh for its good economy, free foodThe Third pointYes, I know that only 31,313 people would be benefited via CAA. In fact, I even mentioned it in one of my previous post when the HM Amit Shah, lied about it and said that lakhs and crores of people would be benefited via CAA. Your next argument talks about the persecution faced by minorities in Pakistan when I never made any intention of discarding the persecution faced by them. I know they face persecution and I know Pakistani Leftists are fighting for the rights of the minorities of Pakistan (Apoorv Ranjan's answer to Are leftists allowed to be politically active in Islamic countries?)I just said that my priority is people of my own country not the people of other countries. I would appreciate if you could just stick to the point rather than giving arguments which are just figment of your imagination. And last but not the least. Don't talk about inhuman, please. Doesn't look good coming from people who put stuffed fevicol in their mouth on the atrocities faced by dalits in India or when the entire family of a rape victim was murdered or when the wife of inspector Subodh received threatening messages to withdraw cases against lynchers or when the ministers of the ruling party draps the lynchers in Tri-colour, arrange lawyers for them or garlands them. My priority is people of my own country. You are free to prioritise a Pakistani or a Bangladeshi over an Indian. But I can't. As simple as that.The Fourth PointWhen you decided to get into history then why did you stop yourself at the Vedas and the Upanishads. Moreover, at what point do we stop and say that this is India. Do we stop at 11th century India, or 5000 BC India? India isn't defined by Hinduism but by the people living in it. Mughals were very much Indians since they lived and breathed on this subcontinent. Their origin is irrelevant since all humans at one point were migrants. Monarchs of all eras used to kill and invade neighbouring kingdoms. It does not matter where the Vedas or Upanishads were composed because even if they were composed right in the middle of the country, it doesn't mean we give it special treatment. Popular belief say humans migrated out of Africa. So does that mean Hinduism was created by "foreign" powers who came from Africa. What happened in the past is totally irrelevant. India is a hub of 200 million Muslims and estimate says it's the highest in the world. Plus we have crores of people belonging to other faiths. Such a multi cultural country can never be solely for one religion.And the further arguments in this point are also unsubstantiated : Secularism: Why Nehru dropped and Indira inserted the S-word in the ConstitutionThis article explains the entire premise. Ambedkar and Nehru "WANTED" to add secualrism word in the preamble itself. But the dabate was over how would we define the term secularism. Will it be inclusive of all faiths or total separation of state and religion. A whopping majority of members agreed on word secular. But in the end it wasn't included in preamble and was left on future generation to decide how they want to decide the term "secularism".Shefali Jha explains in an article that“all the members agreed, of course, on the necessity of establishing a secular state. Most shared an understanding of history in which the movement for the separation of religion and state was irrevocably a part of the project for the democratisation of the latter.”The fifth pointAnd which point are you exactly countering by saying that US had made similar arrangements during the cold war. Did you even bother reading CAA which has not even mentioned anything about RELIGION PERSECUTION. Don't tell me that I should accept whatever the HM says in the parliament at face value if he can't even get this written in the bill legally.The Sixth pointOn what basis are you making this claim that CAA gives citizenship to 31,313 persecuted minorities when the bill has no where even mentioned anything about religious persecution. It just says 6 religious communities from 3 countries can seek citizenship. Nothing about religious persecution. The law has just given blanket right for certain religious communities from 3 Islamic countries to seek Indian citizenship. There is no criteria about religious persecution. If you want to make your argument that it aims to help the religious persecuted minorities then first tell the govt to add it in the law. Like seriously, the only valid argument against NRC are the documents. Even when we have a first hand experience of NRC in Assam where 29 people died in detention centers and some of them were later found to be Indians. Does loss of human lives, colossal waste of money and it's implementation shouldn't even bother us.The Seventh pointWhy not instead of urging me. You urge the HM, Amit Shah who has on more than one occasion given statements that certain religious communities shouldn't fear NRC.Why not instead of urging me. You urge the BJP IT Cell to stop spreading Islamophobic propaganda.Post CAA, BJP-Linked WhatsApp Groups Mount a Campaign to Foment CommunalismWhy not instead of urging me. You urge the Center over its dubious nature of implementation of NRC in Assam.Centre: Assam was told to free non-Muslims from camps | India News - Times of IndiaThe HM has openly lied about CAA that it will help lakhs and crores of people. Then he explains the chronology of conducting NRC before 2024. The Sadhguru who himself hasn't read the bill was explaining CAA to the audience. Then Modi said there is no talk about NRC in India even though there are detention centers being built all over India for the illegal immigrants. Then Amit Shah says that the draft of NRC isn't prepared yet. But the Central government also allocated funds for NPR which according to the government records itself is the first step towards NRC. HM Amit Shah says that NPR is just a regular census while other senior minister of BJP says that some data of NPR maybe used for NRC. And finally, NDA ruled Bihar passed a resolution in the parliament to implement NPR by the 2010 format. But if we are to believe the BJP supporters, then among all this cacophony, it's only the people who oppose it are the one's misleading people but not the government.Further point in the argument goes on to say, we Indians have given our land to “Muslims” for their independent functioning as a theocratic nation."We Indians have given our land to Muslims" - What do you even mean? Indians does not include Indian Muslims?Are you indirectly calling all Indian Muslims non Indians? What about Azad and Zakir Hussain? Do you even know about the contribution of Indian Muslims in India's freedom?This link would be helpful : 10 Muslim Freedom Fighters Who Fought For India's IndependenceThe decendants also have to face the brunt of the society they belong to, and thus we cannot show any concern for Muslims from Pakistan and Bangladesh.This statement has been written by a person who was calling me inhumane just few paragraphs above.The argument about Brahmin gaining reservation on economic basis is a naive argument. Reservation was introduced for proportional representation of depressed class. It was never introduced at economic basis at the first place. This argument shows the clear lack of knowledge about the purpose and intention of reservation.Apoorv Ranjan's answer to What do you understand by the term reservation?The Eighth pointYou didn't even consider or gave a proper counter argument to any of the points mentioned above. And of course, all those people who oppose the bill have vested interest and they have fooled lakhs and lakhs of people into protesting. Only those who can identify the arsonists by their clothes don't have any vested interest.India doesn’t need CAA-NPR-NRC: Over 100 retired bureaucrats write open letterInternational Protests: In Unison, The World Says NO To CAA-NRCThe Ninth PointI have already explained it in my previous point about how claiming India is only for Hindus is a baseless argument. Moreover, whatever the argument for the past was, the past is the past. We have the power to decide now what the future of our nation is. Do we want a secular nation or a theocratic state? Pakistan's origins are irrelevant to our current choice. What are we going to do now? Do we decide our ideals based on logic that we can review now or do we become a theocratic state? Our freedom fighters who fought and sacrificed their lives for our country wanted a secular nation not a theocratic one. And I don't even need to point out who was in coalition with the Muslim League.
