About Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA)
Under the CAA brought in by the Narendra Modi government, Indian Citizenship will be granted to refugee non-Muslim migrants — Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, Buddhists, Parsis and Christians — from Bangladesh, Pakistan and Afghanistan who had come to India on or before December 31, 2014.
There were massive protests in some parts of the country after the CAA was passed by Parliament in December 2019 and received the presidential assent subsequently.
