PULSE OF NORTH EAST
The states of the North Eastern India are up in arms against any imposition of the Citizenship Amendment Bill 2016, for giving recognition of people from Bangladesh specially who have migrated to the region. This runs counter against the protection of the North Eastern region of infiltration.The indigenous people of the North East, forming a minority in the overall population of India, would be further pushed into a minority corner, thus endangering the culture, the economy, the indigenous languages, the land and agricultural system and the various faith and religions professed by the original settlers. The entire matter is very sensitive, concerning the people of the North East. Several organizations, including student bodies of the North East Students Organisation, who have held several demonstration against the Citizenship bill.The various state governments in the North East, should also seriously consider this vital matter in opposing the passage of this bill,which could bring about bitter consequences.
