A clear, well-trodden path.

"Four years after it was passed, the BJP-led government has now notified the rules for the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) of 2019. This comes ahead of general elections to be held next month." Quint. "Sporadic protests have broken out across the country after the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government implemented the CAA on March 11. The law, which has faced criticism for alleged discrimination against Muslims, was put into effect just days before the announcement of the Lok Sabha Elections 2024." Mint. There were protests in Tamil Nadu, Assam and West Bengal. "The Home Ministry's March 11 notification,...has sparked a surge in fresh petitions filed against the CAA in the Supreme Court." "Over 200 petitions challenging the Act are pending in the Supreme Court since December 2019. With a substantial number of petitions lined up for review, the apex court is preparing for a thorough of the CAA and its rules." FM. Still preparing? The Court has not found time to judge a matter of such constitutional importance in 4 years. "If you hear comments from many parts of the world, it is as if the partition of India never happened, there were no consequential problems which the CAA is supposed to address," External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar. "Union Home Minister Amit Shah has reiterated that CAA is a law to provide citizenship rights and it will not snatch away citizenship from anyone." newsonair.gov.in. However, the biggest support for the CAA came from the Taliban. "In its first reaction to the implementation of the CAA in India, the Taliban's head of political office in Doha, Suhail Shaheen, said that any such law should be for all 'irrespective of religion', even as he denied that there was any persecution of minorities in Afghanistan." The Wire. That is hilarious, indeed. In 2022, "The Taliban has ordered judges in Afghanistan to fully impose their interpretation of Sharia Law," so that "Women in Afghanistan can no longer work in most sectors and require a male guardian for long-distance travel, while girls have been barred from returning to secondary school." CNN. "In Arabic, Sharia literally means 'the clear, well-trodden path to water'. Sharia acts as a code for living that all Muslims should adhere to, including prayers, fasting and donations to the poor." BBC. Since these rules are from the Quran and for everyone living in Afghanistan it means that minorities are being forced to follow Islam. All women must be covered from head to toe in a Burqa, including women of minorities, (BBC) even though their religions do not have any such provision. The Taliban should be careful. If India allows citizenship for Muslims, a large number of Afghan women might choose to escape to India. Their objection is a clear, well-trodden path for the CAA. Our government must be pleased.
