Thanks for posting this speech by Prof Niraja Jayal, among the finest that I’ve heard on the subject of citizenship.
Strongly recommended for any student of political science or law.
If PM can proudly announce to Indians in Australia that India is 2nd largest BEEF producer/exporter
— Why do his Go Rakshak Gangs go about killing Muslims on suspicion of beef?
India's Constitution was built on a simple idea: if you're born here, you belong.
Dr Niraja Jayal argues that principle is being quietly reversed — from a "presumption of citizenship" to a "presumption of alienage."
Foreigner until proven otherwise.

What? 🤮😡🔥
“India is now the second largest beef producer in the world”
Just see how Narendra Modi is bragging about it to audience in New Zealand .
Daily more than one lakh cattle gets slaughtered , Bharat an agrarian civilization has never seen this kind of violence against animals .. until now and he is proud of it 🤮
& he himself had attacked congress govt for beef exports before 2014..
This level of treachery with Hindus is unknown
Modi proudly highlighted the fact in New Zealand that India is the world's second-largest beef producer.
Yet back home, people have been lynched over beef allegations, while many of his supporters act disgusted at even hearing the word "beef." The hypocrisy is glaring.

Generations will remember this.
भारत में गौमाता के नाम पर तनाव और वोटबैंक,
न्यूजीलैंड में पहुंचकर बीफ-फिश पर लेक्चर!
ये वही लोग हैं जो घर में गौमाता, बाहर बीफ-फिश का ज्ञान बांटते हैं।
दोगलापन की हद है भाई! 😂
Citizenship in a constitutional democracy is meant to guarantee equal rights and equal dignity to every individual, irrespective of religion. Debates about competing visions of citizenship deserve careful public discussion grounded in constitutional values, historical evidence, and mutual respect. Whether one agrees or disagrees with Prof. Niraja Gopal Jayal's interpretation, the questions she raises about the relationship between ideology, citizenship, and the Constitution are significant and should be addressed through reasoned debate rather than polarization. A healthy democracy is strengthened when differing viewpoints can be examined openly and critically.
“कुछ साल पहले तक मेरे मन में बहुत था - हम ‘विश्वगुरु’ बनेंगे पर अब लगता है विश्वगुरु को Contradict करने वाली बातें ज्यादा हो रही हैं !
या तो विश्वगुरु-विश्वगुरु करना बंद करो या ये सब Nonsense बंद करो !”

Some of our sources within the system have informed us that plans are being made to disrupt the peaceful protest at Jantar Mantar by sending goons from outside ahead of our peaceful march to Parliament.
भारत में हो रहे SIR प्रक्रिया को लेकर संयुक्त राष्ट्र ने चिंता जताई है। यूएन ने चुनाव आयोग की इस प्रक्रिया के तहत मतदाता सूची से बड़ी संख्या में नाम हटाए जाने के आरोपों पर सरकार से जवाब मांगा।
Environmental activist and former IIT professor G. D. Agrawal died after a 111-day hunger strike in 2018, demanding stronger legal protection for the Ganga River.
Neither the media covered his protest nor did the government listen to him.
You hosted Sonam Wangchuk on your show @SrBachchan and said you felt proud while introducing him.
This same man has been fasting for more than half a month now.
If you have little bit of spine & courage left in you, speak up, for him, for justice & for students.
Day 17 of Sonam Sir’s Hunger-Strike.
He has started losing muscle mass and is in immense pain. Like everyone else, I begged him to end his fast.
He calmly replied, “Don’t ask me to end my fast. Ask the govt why they won’t even have a dialogue.”
