coming up in the program india. citizenship.

it's good to have you with us the indian government is on its way to changing its citizenship laws the citizenship bill makes it easier for refugees from of understand pakistan and bangladesh to in essence become india but there is a catch this new law will exclude muslim refugees. to refugee families about their search for a place to call home. j.m.p. mocking to india. how family fled violence and. they say they were targeted because they are sick. right there was always fighting there my sister was shot in the stomach my brother was shot in the foot both died we left everything behind in

flight here. after coming to india jan p. also lost her husband she now lives with her daughters in law and other family members in a small apartment in west delhi none of them have ballot papers a complicated application process for visas and citizenship has handicapped. the grandchildren don't have identity documents to get into school either even those who have been born in india are expected to obtain of gone passports but a proposed law that will grant citizenship to refugees like to empty my lot has found their hopes. they have gone sick community has campaigned long and hard for this they see that they are indian by headed to. these people haven't had an identity for years this is a big problem they don't have passports this new bill will benefit

a lot of people even the ones who have arrived more recently. but that doesn't mean all of gone migrants in delhi are celebrating. the bill eases the path to citizenship for hindus six christians but not muslims. that into the saigon a family who arrived in india in two thousand and eleven they were together in their fourth floor apartment to make of gone none. a taste of home for the thousands of fellow refugees in the city they say they feel far safer here in delhi then back in mazar e sharif. and they're grateful that india has taken them in but it hasn't been even . found to be couldn't get people for his first four years in india he waited a year to get his first visa which was valid for two weeks another years we've got him a twenty be permanent now finally he has an eight month visa. so

he wishes his parents did not have to work he says citizenship would ease access to jobs better incomes for him and his two brothers. but he's not talk for. the few of gone muslim refugees he knows who try to get citizenship what ejected. other people like in these people. here all the same situation they should write for the same level because all we are all a human being for now fadi hopes to find a way to migrate west to europe or the u.s. it has been seven years since he fled of const on but india does not feel like home either. for more the all sort of that report nima should just joins us now from delhi good to see you what really is the more behind the government amending the

citizenship act of one hundred fifty five. well british the narrative of the indian government is simple they are seen india stands by the fullest cicutto diligence minorities all of the countries off of ghana stunned bangladesh and pakistan just a few days ago we had prime minister intervened in would be at a rally saying that india will stand by the tortured children off mother india but there is a problem with this narrative claiming that everybody who is from these six non muslims religions can be assumed to be of indian origin also alongside that muslims are not possibly from india originally this feeds right into the hindu bias the policy of hindu bias that this nationalist government has been said to have over the last five years and this was see the slum for be a that has been seen in the government over the last five years again with the bigger actions coming up this could be

a move. to that hindu electorate but has there been any opposition at all to do moves by the government well yes there's definitely been opposition a lot of people have been critical of the fact that this move while it's that eye to equality in india and reckonings to be a secular country and granting citizenship on the basis of religion is problematic opposition parties including the international congress have said this however there is also a more complicated part of the question this is raising out in the northeastern states of india in assam for example there's a national registration of citizens over there does this some nationalism going on the people of assam are fighting this bill because they are saying we only want to keep people who were here before a certain cut off your and we do not care what their religion this that people ally hindus and allowing other diligence in will basically affect the demography of the northeast the criticism coming in from different sides but this government is standing strong on that support for the spill. on the jersey shore reporting for us

from turkey thank you very much. the indian government is standing strong on another key issue identifying under petrea ten rohingya muslims this against the things of the united nations which are stressed repeatedly that conditions in me and my aunt safe to return to india is increasingly taking the line that the rohingya are not cliff injuries but illegal immigrants hundreds of trying to flee to bung others to avoid detention or deportation but do not want to either. if you g.'s on the run again desperate not to be sent home over recent weeks hundreds of families have left india for bangladesh fleeing the threat of deportation back to me and. we escaped by secretly crossing the border. we had to pay traffickers a lot of money. it was very tough for us. it took eight to nine days to get into

bangladesh. well most ranger refugees sought shelter in bangladesh tens of thousands ended up in india can do you regard them as illegal aliens and a security threat and of called for mass deportations some forced to flee india say they'd been living in the country for years. doing great the police in india never bothered us then the government started trying to force us back to me and. if someone was unwilling they threatened to shoot us. many would be returning to this the united nations says myanmar is still too dangerous for egypt to go back to in ravager a kind state a military crackdown continues and i think violence is still rife. how could we go back with all the violence will go back only when this peace. and

estimated one point two million refugees refugees and now we are speaking to d.w. the country's foreign minister called on the world to share the burden is not our problem the problem with the global problem we are being affected today tomorrow if this problem. my fear that. affected particularly if the interest it would hard country if there is uncertainty it. you know instability the region and instead of the never is good for in the country. for now the ranger remained in limbo and wanted in neighboring countries and able to return to their own. to pakistan now where the death of a sixteen year old domestic worker house sparked a widespread outrage that made it all the way up to the country's warning brought
