Description: India’s new citizenship regime under the stewardship of its freshly re-elected rightwing government has been deliberately exclusionary and non-secular. The insidiously calibrated amendments to legislations pertaining to citizenship have taken a nefarious turn in recent years. Any veneer of equality and non-discrimination has been shed. The Supreme Court of India has played its part by providing judicial approval to government actions, at every step and, is facing a credibility crisis.
