That is exactly what your "friends" want. They will drive out the minorities and come after them into your land.
You are also ignorant about the CAA laws.
For a person to qualify for CAA.
- The person should be a minority from Bangladesh, Pakistan or
Afghanistan, and have been living in India since 2014 or earlier
waiting to be granted citizenship.
-The CAA does not mean a person can jump over the fence and claim
citizenship. Full documents are needed to show that the person is indeed a Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Christian or Parsi (Jews and Muslims not allowed) , and was a resident of a verified address in Pakistan, Bangladesh, or Afghanistan. A police record showing persecution on account of religion is also necessary such as injury or loss of property during a communal riot.
Hindus from Pakistan, Bangladesh, or Afghanistan visiting India for pilgrimage are not covered by CAA because they are traveling on valid visas as citizens of their respective countries for pilgrimage only and not fleeing persecution. If they stay back and claim asylum they have a 5 year wait ( under CAA) during which they can't legally work, start a business, or buy property.
That is the law !
The CAA doesn't even apply to many of those Hindus arrested in the Assam NRC because they came after 2014, and those who were there before had been living illegally for so long in Assam, that they had no records from when and where they came from Bangladesh.
The Indian Muslims were needlessly getting worked up. Unless there is rank corruption and fascist style persecution no NRC process will ever be able to tell a Hindi or Urdu speaking Muslim resident of Jama Masjid or Lucknow that he or she is an illegal Bangladeshi.
Indian Muslims are far more careful than the ordinary Indian citizens and keep their citizenship documents very carefully. Trying to strip them of their citizenship is impossible. The only Muslims at risk in India are Bengali speaking Muslims of West Bengal and Assam living on the border of Bangladesh who have neglected to keep their land, schools, and other records and are day laborers. There are very few such persons. In 2019, both the West Bengal and Assam governments working officially, and through NGOs launched a massive drive to ensure Assamese Muslims and West Bengali Muslims got their personal records updated.
There
are Bengali Muslim Bangladeshi illegal migrants, who by the way are intensely disliked by their West Bengali and Assamese Muslim counterparts because of the trouble they are causing. How India will detect them and how they will send them back is unclear.
CAA ?
Try telling a Bhojpuri speaking Bihari Muslim he is a Bangladeshi, and see what you get ? Or try telling a Malayalam speaking Muslim from Cochin he is a Bangladeshi.
There are 200 million Indian Muslims to deal with. You will have to build a lot more detention centers.
