One indication that the NRC and the CAA have so far not affected India-Bangladesh ties is that the border security forces of both nations held their 49th director- general level talks from December 25 to 30, 2019. India’s Border Security Force’s (BSF) delegation was headed by its DG, Vivek Johri, and Border Guards Bangladesh’s (BGB) delegation was headed by its DG, Maj. Gen. Mohammad Shafeenul Islam.

In the civilised world, the government has to prove that an individual has committed a crime. In India, the individual must prove that she must not be jailed. So this is what the National Register of Citizens, which Amit Shah will implement across the country, is about and this is how it is being executed.

Track record of NRC doesn’t bode well

To my mind, it is incorrect for the government to believe that the protestors do not know what they are protesting about.
