CAA supporters

CAA supporters refer to individuals and groups who support the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) enacted in India in 2019. This law aims to provide a pathway to Indian citizenship for non-Muslim refugees from neighboring countries—specifically, Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis, and Christians. Supporters argue that the CAA addresses historical injustices faced by these persecuted religious minorities. However, critics contend that it undermines the secular nature of India by discriminating based on religion. Overall, CAA supporters believe the act is a humanitarian measure, while opponents raise concerns about its implications for India’s founding principles.
