What is Citizenship Amendment Act

Let us tell you that the Citizenship Amendment Act 2019 (CAA), gives Indian citizenship to minorities from three neighboring countries of India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh. Under this law, those minorities will get citizenship of India, who have taken refuge in India for a long time. These include Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Parsi, and Christian communities of 6 religions. However, the Muslim religion has been excluded from this law.
