"India Enacts Controversial Citizenship Law Excluding Muslims"

India has announced rules to implement a controversial citizenship bill that excludes Muslims, providing a fast-track to citizenship for immigrants from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Pakistan, but not for Muslims. The bill, originally passed in 2019, has been heavily protested by opposition parties, claiming it marginalizes India's 200-million Muslim population. Critics argue that it reflects the Hindu nationalist agenda of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party, leading to religious divisions and persecution of minorities in the country.
