In one word answer- NOWhy?Anyone who has seen Amit Shah’s political strategy, it's purely based on polarization. Infact, after Britishers, its him who has perfected the art of DIVIDE AND RULE, which has helped BJP to gain inroads in many states where there were ethnic issues which he tried to drive to communal issues (which is far more emotional narrative than mere ethnic narrative).NRC is one such strategy of Amit Shah for two key purposesTo create a pan India narrative of Hindus vs Muslims (We vs They) strategy. Amit Shah is a master in this area. Infact, if there was a Nobel prize for this category, he would have won a minimum 4 Nobel prizes. I am sure, he is even capable to getting atleast 10 Ph.Ds if he makes a thesis on his own experiments in the division of electorate on the basis of communal polarization. So far its successful mostly in Gangetic plains and states like Maharashtra, Gujarat etc where there was a strong historical communal division. Amit shah used this strategy in the North Eastern States, which was terribly divided on the basis of ethnicity, if not religious. Assam was boiling since 1970s over this issue and the grand strategy of Amit Shah these days is to work on converting ethnic polarization into communal polarization in which he has a Ph.D. The Assam NRC has given some insights to him on this aspect, but he has certain limitations as the process isn’t fully under his control, rather under SC’s control which means he has to do lot of backend operations to achieve his target rather than the front end as in other cases. A national-level NRC is capable to use his best and most prized ability and skills at the national stage with front end operations and helps to save a lot of time which is now wasted in dealing with judges.Pakistan cannot help BJP every time prior to elections. Imran Khan has now many priorities, so as Pakistan Army too. They cannot sponsor shows like Pulwama each and every time and make themselves look a fool before the international community by allowing BJP to set new muscular narratives like Balakot etc. After all, that country is financially struggling, thus can’t spend money on huge fuel and defence bills, thus they too are avoiding even small scale ambushes or tit-for-tat replies. So Amit Shah, being a Chanakya, knows well that he needs some new stories to occupy electorate prior to 2024 elections. He needs a Plan B, in case Pakistan doesn’t provide a Plan A to help BJP in national elections. So NRC serves as serves a perfect tool to make people run behind it, forgetting the crucial real issues like unemployment, economic crisis, fall of every industry output and rising hikes in education and other sectors. An imaginary enemy is always better to manage than the real enemy.Why do I believe NRC is immoral?Imagine a fully packed bus running on the road. One passenger finds his wallet got stolen. He cries and the bus conductor stops the vehicle. A quick check is done inside and soon an empty wallet was found somewhere in the middle off the bus with no cash. The passenger was saying he carried 10,000 Rs of cash in the wallet. Now whats next ?In our Indian context, it would be like-the bus would be kept on hold.Police would comeEach passenger would be checked to see whether he carries an extra bundle of 10,000 RsUntill find the culprit, every single passenger is a suspect.There would be passengers who carry this sum in the pocket. They need to prove that the money is theirs thro’ any meansSome may not able to back up their sources well…. Ohhh!!! Potential Black money hoarders!!!If the real thief able to prove the money is theirs (even on simple means like a friend acknowledging he gave cash to him in morning etc), how to make him accountable?At the end, the police would simply file the case as Unsolved Case… What happens> The culprit gets scot-free, others may face a case of black money and the actual person who lost the money finds no reprieve.Isn’t the same format happened in Demonetization case?Isn’t the same now happened in Assam NRC case?So what's the objective of NRC?The problem of NRC is we the citizens of India has to prove our citizenship. It's not the Govt of India checking for the illegal citizens, rather every single citizen of this country has to prove, we are not illegal citizen…. Typical old school headmaster thinking!!!We live in a modern age with technology. Is it that hard for the government to check various govt records linked to a citizen? There are passports, AADHAR cards, ration cards, driving licences, land titles, bank account records, tax receipts etc. Develop a system to cross-verify multiple records, integrate them at the backend to verify and summon only the doubtfulRather what government does is so outdated Manu era concept of making everyone a suspect and finding a thief from this extraordinary large pool of suspects. In reality, to find less a few thousands or even a lakh of illegal residents living in India, nearly 1.33 Billion Indians (133 crore) Indians have to prove they are Indians at the first place. In Malayalam parlance, we can say “Burning a house to kill a rat”Stupidity at its best. Well, what more to expect from these kinds of people who were trained in drills camps in trousers rather in colleges!!!And what we actually do with Illegal residents?That's the big question which almost all dictators have failed.In Hitler’s times, this question became so famous titled as THE JEWISH DILEMMA!!Okay after NRC you find 1 Lakh or even 10 lakh illegal residents living in India. What you do with them?Put them in a ship and drop in mid-sea?Will, any of neighbouring country like Bangladesh or Pakistan or China or Nepal or Sri Lanka accept them back, if we able to prove, they originally hailed from these places?I would agree to NRC if India Govt makes a deal with all its neighbouring countries that they would take back these illegal residents from India if India could prove they originally hailed from these countries and illegally entered. So far, not a single country agrees on it. Even Bangladesh who is our close ally and a very friendly pro-Indian govt refuses to accept any Bengalis back into their country, even if they know well, so many people of their place have illegally infiltrated into India.'Bangladesh reassured on NRC, shouldn't make a crisis out of nothing'So what we do with these illegal infiltrators? Okay, develop another 1000 Goalpara like detention camps across India to put them.Then what? Should we taxpayers of India need to provide food, accommodation and other essentials for these healthy, robust community behind the bars forever? Even jail has a specific term of imprisonment, while what's there for detention camp? Lifetime?This government says they have no money to subsidize mere 352 crores per year for the education of our young generation in premier world-class universities like JNU. So how do you fund for these camps across India? Will BJP pay from its vast pockets? Or will their partners- Ambani-Adani duos sponsor it?Or are we moving back to Manu era of having personal slaves from these illegal residents who can work for free for legal citizens? Like this below pic?Com’ on use your brains…. We study Hitler’s follies and his Jewish persecution not because we have some free time and we need to study something for exams.Its to understand how idiotic those Fascists/authoritative regime was by introducing a citizenship law that stripped a huge segment of their own population and made them stateless overnight. And they thought they can get rid of them if they move away from their land. When that didn’t happen, they thought they can build thousands of concentration camps to put them there and make them work for the state. But again when they realize, it all adds costs back to the state, they had no other alternative, other than mass murders which resulted in FINAL SOLUTION to the Jewish questionAre we aspiring for that?The purpose of NRC is to prove who is the citizen of the country. Good… Its important for the state to know who are their citizensIt works well in a homogenous tribal society, say like Arab communities. Its easy to identify who are Saudis, who are Kuwaitis, who are Emiratis etc. Very specific tribes, very specific locations, mostly endogamous communities etc. And most important- very recent communities. An Emirati as such became the citizen of that country probably since the 1920s or 30s when they settled down in a place for the first time…How about such a diverse country like India which has cities with 4000 years of history, multiple lineages, multiple cultures, multiple family orders, multiple languages, multiple levels of literacy/ education, disparities in access to social rights etc? What essentially distinguishes between a Calcutta Bengali and Dhaka Bengali? What essentially differentiates between a Tuticorin Tamilian and a Jaffna Tamilian? Or a Lahori Punjabi and Amristari Punjabi? Nothing, other than an artificially drawn border over a piece of paper in 1947 or 1971.There are thousands of Sri Lankan Tamilians who live in India, married Indian men/women, have kids and probably grandkids. Do you think, Indian bureaucrats have time to sit, draw and understand family trees of entire 1.33 billion Indian citizens? These bureaucrats have no patience even to process a one-year-old tax receipt issue and we need to believe, they have time and energy to sit and hear migration stories of grandpas and great grandpas…Apart from the case of these migrants, the majority of our legal citizens don’t have proper documents to back up their citizenship. How can this set of people prove their citizenship?Just for an understanding purpose, India has approx 900 Million registered voters from its total population of 1.33 Billion. It means approx 430 Million people are out of the system.Voters card are created on basis of proper identification of residence, backed up with some sort of citizenship claims. 430 Million are not able to get Indian voters card due to many reasons. Okay, I can understand a very larger percentage of them might not apply for voter’s card in the first place, even if eligible. But still we are likely to have a population of atleast 200–300 million unable to prove their citizenship as they may be homeless, maybe destitute, maybe street urchins or tribals or similar.What we do with them? Pull their trousers down (THAT OPTION NOT AVAILABLE FOR LADIES) and then decide whether to put in detention camp forever or give citizenship?In short, a very large number of Indian citizens as of today finds hard to back up their citizenship claims, especially those in poor income and educational strata.And if we going to divide them on the basis of religion thro’ provision of upcoming Citizenship amendment act, we intend to create a multi-class society.Probably Amit Shah and his Nagpur bosses were aiming to re-create a Vedic society where we have multiple citizenry classes where unverified residents can eventually become DASYUS or live outskirts of cities of pure certified Aryans as Chandalas!!!!Maybe cities of New India be secured with high walls and security from these second class residentsA likely scene from tomorrow’s New India cities (Pic courtesy:- Lelia Web series)Sorry, this is not MY INDIA!!!!

The evolutionary and trajectory of this battle can also be traced in the transformation of the Pakistani passport.The cover of Pakistan's first passportIssued in late 1947, the cover of Pakistan’s first passport was largely beige in colour and only partially green.It had 'Pakistan Passport' written in three languages: English, Bengali, and Urdu.It had two Pakistan flags, one symbolising the country's western wing (West Pakistan) and the other its former eastern wing (East Pakistan). Inside, there was just the holder's name, address, profession, photo, and marital status.Pakistanis did not require pre-arrival visas and could get visas-on-arrival in any country they wished to travel, including India at that time of post-colonial era.By 1954, the colour green had ousted the beige. The two flags were still there, but the holder's name now appeared on the cover.In this the Bengali text had disappeared from the West Pakistani passport. Due to tensions between the state and the rebellious Bengali majority of East Pakistan, the federal government had introduced the One Unit scheme, which treated the ethnically diverse West Pakistan as a single province and the Bengali-dominated East Pakistan as the other province.Consequently, West Pakistani passports (like the one in the picture) had 'Pakistan Passport' written only in English and Urdu, whereas East Pakistani passports had the same written in English and Bengali.This was soon changed, but the rest of the contents remained the same: holder's name, photo, address, profession, and marital status.Pakistanis could still get on-arrival-visas in most countries, except Israel, the Soviet Union and Afghanistan – countries that Pakistan had developed strained relations with. However, India and Pakistan were still issuing on-arrival-visas to one another despite the fact that both had gone to war in 1948.Pakistani passport during Ayub's Green Revolution eraThe dark green passport lasted till 1960. In 1956, when the Constituent Assembly authorised and passed the country's first constitution, it declared Pakistan an Islamic Republic.It was also decided that the term 'Islamic Republic of Pakistan' was to appear on Pakistani passports by 1958. However, this never happened because in 1958, the country's powerful president, Iskander Mirza, and its army chief, Ayub Khan, imposed martial law for the first time in Pakistani history.Mirza suspended the constitution, terming it “the peddling of Islam for political gains.” Within the first 20 days of the coup, Ayub ousted Mirza as well and became president in 1959. He changed the name of the country to the Republic of Pakistan.The first passport issued by the Ayub regime was in 1960. It was light green in colour, symbolising the regime's modernist and moderate view of Islam. It just had 'Pakistan Passport' written on it in English and Urdu. The flags were removed and so was the Bengali translation (which had reappeared in the late 1950s). The contents inside remained the same.Pakistanis could receive on-arrival-visas in all countries, except the Soviet Union, communist countries in eastern Europe, and Israel. Afghanistan had begun to give on-arrival visas.The only communist country that gave on-arrival visas to Pakistanis was China. India and Pakistan still had on-arrival-visa policies between them.The Ayub regime had to issue new passports following criticismIn 1967, the colour of the passport was changed back to dark green.The Ayub regime had begun to face harsh criticism from opponents, especially after the 1965 Pakistan-India war had ended in stalemate and the once-booming economy had begun to retract.Trouble began to brew on the country's streets and campuses, and Bengali sub-nationalist separatists in East Pakistan became more hostile in a already volatile region. The passport turned dark green again and, once more, the words 'Pakistan Passport' began appearing in Bengali. The inside contents remained the same.Pakistanis still enjoyed on-arrival-visa facilities in all the countries, except in communist countries, barring China. However, from 1965 onward, India and Pakistan abolished their long-standing on-arrival-visa policies.In 1974, the passport became bluish green in colour and the Bengali text disappeared once and for all this time round.This was because due to the fact that on 16 December in 1971, East Pakistan had violently politically broken apart, parted ways and seceded away to lead and become a separate formal Republic of Bangladesh. West Pakistan simply rescinded as a single unitary form of entity and the term East Pakistan was made redundant respectively.Pakistani passports continued to use Bengali text in hopes of reconciliation, till she was finally pressurised into recognising Bangladesh in 1974 herself, and restored normalisation of diplomatic relations in 1976.Separatist rebel aspirant Independentist flag of Bangla-Desh in 1971.1971 میں بنگلہ دیش کے آزاد پرچم کے علیحدگی پسند بغاوت کے خواہشمند.বিচ্ছিন্নতাবাদী বিদ্রোহী প্রার্থী 1971 সালে বাংলা-দেশ স্বাধীনতাবাদী পতাকা।PROVINCIAL REGIONAL SONG OF EAST PAKISTAN: My Golden Bengal আমার সোনার বাংলা امر شونار بنگلہRegional patriotic anthem of Bengal, Nationalised and adopted in 1972.বাংলার আঞ্চলিক দেশাত্মবোধক সংগীত, জাতীয়করণ এবং 1972 সালে গৃহীত হয়েছিল।بنگال کا علاقائی محب وطن ترانہ ، قومی شکل میں اور 1972 میں اپنایا گیا۔Punish those who still love Pakistan: Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina | The Express TribuneThe Politics of East Pakistan’s Bengal Genocide of 1971Rethinking the big lies from 1971 | The Express TribuneBNP chief Khaleda doubts number of Bangladesh war martyrsIn the 50 yrs since the civil war, there have been efforts to bring the perpetrators to justice. The most recent attempt started in 2010 during her current reign regime, when the current dictatress government established two International Crimes Tribunals that together have convicted 26 people on charges of genocide and crimes against the then traitory Bengalis, now Bangladeshis. International human rights organizations have criticized the tribunals as falling far short of proper due process, but the trials appear popular within Bangladesh hyped with war-like hysteria. So far, four Pro-Pakistani men have been innocently executed, including three leaders from Bangladeshi Jamaat-e-Islami (BJI) and one leader of the main opposition party, the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP). Most of the others are on death row, awaiting the outcome of appeals. For many, particularly Awami League goon supporters, to allow any equivocation about the controversial numbers of victims in the 1971 war is to open the door to the apologists for Pakistan and the enemies of Bangladeshi rebellious separatist War of Independence. Some of the proposed offenses are so broad that they would significantly hinder free speech and stifle legitimate historical research. The proposal would outlaw the “inaccurate” representation of war history and “malicious” statements in the press that “undermine any events” related to the war and undermine Bangladeshi efforts. Efforts to “trivialize” accurate information related to the killing of civilians during the war would also be forbidden; this would almost certainly be used to prosecute ANYONE who EVEN DARED questioned the official death toll, according to its sources ONLY AND NO OTHER SOURCE. Many Pro-Indian Bangladeshis sincerely believe in the so-called three million figure, which symbolizes the huge sacrifices of the war. M. A. Hasan, convener of the War Crimes Fact Finding Committee, said, “The figure of liberation war martyrs is one such issue which NO ONE SHOULD EVER QUESTION.”More recently, a sedition case was filed by an Awami League activist against Khaleda Zia, the leader of the Bangladesh Nationalist Party, because of a speech she gave in December. “There is a debate about how many hundreds of thousands were martyred in the liberation war,” she said. “Different books give different accounts.” Where does the truth about the numbers lie? The three million figure was popularized by Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the leader of the Awami League in 1971, the country’s first president and the father of the current prime minister. Mujib, as he is popularly known, is a revered figure, particularly within the Awami League. But his biographer, Sayyid A. Karim, who was also Sheikh Rahman’s first foreign secretary, viewed the number as “a gross exaggeration.” In his book “Sheikh Mujib: Triumph and Tragedy,” Mr. Karim reported that the prime minister’s office told him the figure was taken from Pravda, the Soviet newspaper. According to the American writer Lawrence Lifschultz, a survey by the Mujib government that was projecting a death toll of 250,000 was “abruptly shut down.” A 1976 study in the journal Population Studies estimated that the number of deaths caused by the war was about 500,000, many as a result of disease and malnutrition. A 2008 article in The British Medical Journal concluded that the number of violent deaths during the war was about 269,000 (allowing a possible range of 125,000 to 505,000). For others, however, questions are necessary on this and other aspects of the 1971 war, including the widespread killings of members of the Bihari ethnic group, who supported the Sovereignty of Pakistan during the conflict, by Bengali rebellious separatist Terror-led nationalists and Guerrilla Militias. We ALL should question this because nationalist narratives is always ONE-SIDED & BIASED favouring one over the other? About the past often serve contemporary geopolitical interests, and we should also must be beware and war of such lies of an orthodoxy being used to silence dissent. Since the Awami League came to power again in 2009, it has tried to use the voting emotions surrounding the 1971 war to justify a move toward authoritarian one-party rule. In its version of history, only the Awami League is the party of liberation, and therefore of government, and opposition parties are branded as “pro-Pakistan,” and therefore dangerous and disloyal is actually pitiful. The proposed genocide law might work to the political advantage of the Awami League in the short term. But in the long term, curtailing free expression for sectarian political purposes is dangerous for democracy. Pakistani sources claim the number to be 300,000 though having not completely denied shameful rape incidents. During the war, there was also ethnic violence between Bengalis and Urdu-speaking Biharis.[16] Loyal Biharis faced reprisals from Bengali mobs and militias[17] and from 1,000[18] to 150,000[19][20] were killed. Other sources claim it was up to 500,000.[21][22] After the War the Newly formed Government of Bangladesh confiscated the properties in out of spite of enmity towards the Bihari Population grievances in acts of Vengeances and Retaliations Dis-respectively. The former Eastern Jamaat (BJI) were against Bangladesh becoming Independent and seceding from Pakistan as many Loyalists were under the impression and also they too thought it was against Islam. However the Jamaat were unable to stop Bangladesh becoming FREE of and from what was eventually left of Pakistan.Khaleda draws flak for martyrs remarkThe Liberation of Dhaka and the Whitewashing of Pakistan’s History · Global VoicesRiots in Karachi after Fall of Dacca/East Pakistan on Monday 20th of December in 1971 //Now BangladeshDetailed History Accounts (Pakistani Narrative & Perception) The Separation of East Pakistan | Great setback to Pakistan in year 1970Story Of Pakistan | Fall of Dhaka 1971A Tribute Emotional Song Dedicated to East PakistanBangladesh Pakistan and BangladeshParody Cricket Diplomacy between the former countrymen of Bangladeshis and Pakistanisبنگلہ دیشیوں اور پاکستانیوں کے سابقہ ​​شہریوں کے مابین پیرڈی کرکٹ ڈپلومیسیবাংলাদেশী ও পাকিস্তানি প্রাক্তন দেশবাসীর মধ্যে প্যারোডি ক্রিকেট কূটনীতি

From a bitter experience, my definite answer is Singapore.I know, some of you may disagree with me.My daughter is a post graduate in physics from a national Institute of India. Most of the students after the same course, join for PhD at universities like Oxford, MIT, Stanford, CalTech, Princeton, Cambridge, Harvard etc….As there was a gap of some eight months left before joining her PhD program, she applied for the temporary post (for six months) of Research assistant in a reputed university of Singapore. After an interview through video conferencing, she got selected for the post. Since it was her maiden travel abroad, and the university doesn't provide hostel facility, I had to accompany her, mainly to find her a suitable accommodation near the university campus.After confirmation of her selection through email, the university liaison officer sent her online forms to be filled up and submitted, along with her photo (according to their Singapore specifications!) and signature in digital format. These were the documents required to apply for the work pass, which would be forwarded by the university to the government. The university was satisfied with everything like her performance at the interview, her CV and other documents including passport and asked my daughter to wait till the work pass (no separate visa required) was ready from the government of Singapore .But to accompany my daughter , I need to posses a prior tourist visa (sanctioned for 30 days) before landing in Singapore . Indians come under assessment level 1 of those requiring a prior visa (no ‘visa on arrival' facility for Indians!). There are level 2 countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan etc as well.People from the European Union, Australia, Norway, South Korea, Switzerland, and the United States can visit and stay in Singapore for 90 days without any visa. Mind you, Singapore is not an European country, but a tiny Asian country (just the size of one of our districts in India)!Searching their website for visa, I could locate a travel agency in Thiruvananthapuram authorized to forward my visa application. They gave me a list of documents including my current passport, prior passport (at that point of time I couldn’t question why my prior passport was required for applying for a visit visa for 30 days?), my professional degree certificate etc.. along with a fees of ₹ 2750/-. But the executive dealing with Singapore visa at the travel agency reminded me of occasions of visa rejections from Indian applicants.As I couldn't afford to take a chance, I asked my daughter to send mail to the university asking for a letter from them to support my visa application. They promptly sent an offer letter, specifying the post for which my daughter was selected, monthly salary, date on which she was supposed to join etc.. Receiving the offer letter (confirmation of the appointment), my daughter was ecstatic, because she was about to go to a foreign country (a dream come true for her), going to earn her first remuneration, a chance to come across so many scientists etc..!!My visa was ready after 15 days of submission of application, and my daughter’s work pass would be ready within two weeks for sure, according to the university official. Everythig on track, it’s time for us to enter into the second phase of our preparations for the journey.First priority went to booking our flight tickets, as ticket details are mandatory for booking a hotel room. Comparing the rates, timing and different connection flights from different websites, I booked our tickets and of course, my return ticket as well.After searching on different websites we finally booked hotel room for seven days near the university.Then we went on a shopping spree for three full days to collect each and everything from toiletries, dresses etc..etc.. for six months to trolley bags.The next day my daughter received a mail from the university apologizing for the delay in getting the work pass, citing the reason that the application was initially rejected (not an unusual procedure) by the department of manpower , but they have appealed against the decision and they are expected to receive the WP shortly. Since the university was the applicant, we have no role to play.Our journey day was nearing!Five more days left. No positive feedback.Four more days left.Reminder sent to the university .Three more days left. Nothing happened.Two more days left.Reminder sent to the university again . They conveyed their helplessness in their reply.One more day left. We were in dilemma. We were unable to cancel the tickets either. We decided to hopefully wait till the last day.On the final day all the bags packed, dressed up we were still waiting for the final message any time, that my daughter’s WP was ready.As visit visa was obtained for me alone, we were unable to proceed with the journey without the work pass! We considered several options but nothing would work out. The experience after our scheduled journey time was utterly horrible. My daughter lay totally disappointed and dejected. I had no words to console her. After being selected by this university, there were offers from top ranking Institutes from India for similar assignments, but eyeing the offer from this Singapore university, she avoided them.The next day a message came from the university that the second apeal also was rejected!! They apologized for the inconvenience caused to my daughter. My daughter wanted to know why her application was rejected. The strange reply was that the government was doubtful about the qualifications!! Stupid fellows? Do they think that this university rank above Oxford, MIT, Stanford etc?? If they have any doubts about the degree or PG, they could have sought clarification from the university who selected her.It's either arrogance or ignorance. Dear readers, please judge and comment.In the process, a financial loss of nearly ₹200000/- from my pocket (cost if flight tickets, insurance, rent for hotel room for seven days, visa charges, foreign exchange commission etc..), wastage of precious six months from the career of my daughter, mental agony, utter disappointment plus a loss of ₹ 900000/- by way of lost salary were caused for none of our mistakes.The following two Indians ruled Singapore for a total period of sixteen years between them and still Indians are treated this way.Devan Nair (a Keralite)Term of Office:Oct 24, 1981 - March 28, 1985Mr Nair was one of the founding members of the People’s Action Party, and among the founders of the National Trades Union Congress.

Nathan (Sellappan Ramanathan) (a Tamil)Term of Office:Sept 1, 1999 - Sept 1, 2011Singapore’s longest-serving president, Mr Nathan - a veteran diplomat - was elected unopposed for two consecutive terms, as there were no other eligible candidates in the 1999 and 2005 presidential polls.
