Description: This chapter from the India Exclusion Report 2019–2020 conceptualises citizenship as a foundational public good, essential for accessing rights and entitlements and for preserving individual dignity. It argues that the National Register of Citizens (NRC) process in Assam — flawed in its design, implementation, and consequences — has led to widespread exclusion by destabilising citizenship. Drawing on empirical and ethnographic evidence, the chapter highlights how bureaucratic inefficiencies, lack of accountability, and institutional bias have produced uncertainty and harm, ultimately reinforcing socio-economic exclusion through the denial of stable citizenship.
