Some thoughts

Morning and my messages are bombarded by pictures of protests and live videos because I do have some friends and family members who are an avid part of the protest.

Good, I think.
Better than doing absolutely nothing.
Living outside of the country I'm also bombarded by different narratives of the same situation where most of my family and friends who fall to the left of the centre talk about things that are truly aggravating while news channels in the pay of the govt. give facts that are almost antithetical to what I'm being told.
One is propaganda and the other is anti propaganda propaganda and maybe if I were in the locus of it all I'd have a better understanding of the issue.
Perhaps I should just read the bill and make up my mind on it because no one is right on the absolute and I think the illegal immigrants living in our country for more than a generation now deserve to become a part of our country because where on earth are we planning to deport them?
They now have kids and a new generation and they all live as a part of our nation.
Yes there aren't too many of them but that doesn't mean they're nothing.
Also I don't understand why refugees from countries like Sri Lanka and Myanmar haven't been included in this amendment? Probably because there's a high chance that those refugees in question will be Islamic.
The only countries included are ones where the minorities aren't Muslims.
Someone told me that this is the first step towards ethnic cleansing and they pointed out how my name which lacks any surname will be looked on as doubtful and that I might have to start collecting documents to prove my nationality.

This is a bit disturbing to say the least but right now that so called law isn't being implemented and the one state that it was implemented which is Assam it was signed during the terms of the previous government.
Again, I can't say much because these are many different narratives and perhaps only reading news reports of certain minded newspapers isn't going to give us a clearer picture.

I do however hate the fact that students are facing violence and also I hate that there's a lot of harm caused to our public property.

Now these are smart tactics to keep the citizens occupied with such issues while the Govt. deflects from the main concerns which is rising unemployment and decaying economy.
We are regressing in terms of the last two and the govt. keeps us busy with Hindu Muslim issues so there isn't much for them to answer.

A silent round of applause to such think tanks.
