Immigration, Citizenship and Indian Laws: Domestic & International Prospective: 

The Indian Constitution was adopted the “We people of India” as declared by the Constitution of India. The Indian Constitution does not grant Supremacy of any community, sect or religion. It means it treats  with equality all inhabitants (citizens) of India as per the constitutional mandate. The Indian citizenship drives its power from the constitution through the Indian citizenship Act 1954.  Under the Citizenship Act there is provision of National Citizenship register of India (NRC) under Section 14 A (2,3 and 4) and National Population Register (NPR) according to Citizenship (Registration of Citizens and issue of National Identity Cards) Rules, 2003. The Government of India conducted NRC process in Assam, where many discrepancies came out and the outcome of the NRC process has not been accepted either State Government or the Centre government.

The Central Government brings the Citizen Amendment Act 2019 and proposes to conduct NRC and NPR National wide which was also announced in parliament. However, the current Amendment, NRC and NPR has been widely discussed among political and social sphere in society.

The aim of the proposed book is to come out with a clear understanding of Nationality law and implications of current legal changes on common citizens or illegal immigrants.  Further, what are legal and constitutional remedies for people affected by the NRC process and determination by the officials?
