What are NRC and CAA?

NRC: National Register of Citizens

There is absolutely no need for any Indian citizen of any religion to worry about Citizenship Amendment Act or NRC as well. Moving the question is it will NRC be for people of a particular religion? The answer to this is again no. The NRC-National Register of Citizens has nothing to do with any religion at all. NRC is for every citizen of India it is the Citizen register in which names of every Indian will be recorded.

3. Will people be excluded in NRC on religious Grounds or not?

And if you do not have the details of your birth then you will have to provide the same details about your parents but there is absolutely no compulsion to submit any document by the parents. Citizenship can be proved by submitting any documents related to the place of birth and Date of birth. However steps to be taken on search acceptable documents that this is likely to include your voter cards, Passports, Aadhar card, Licence, Insurance papers, Birth Certificate, School Leaving Certificate, Documents relating to home or Land or other similar documents issued by government officials. The list is likely to include more documents so that no Indian citizen has to suffer unnecessarily to the whole process is been simplified.

It was valid only for the Assam NRC which was based on the Assam accord and the directive of the Honorable Supreme Court. And most important for the rest of the country the NRC process is completely different and under the citizenship registration of citizens and issue of national identity cards rules 2003.

8. If it is so easy to true identity then how come 19 lakh people living in Assam affected due to NRC?

The next question that comes to your mind is that, if it is so easy to true identity then how come 19 lakh people living in Assam affected due to NRC?
The answer to this can be explained in this way, infiltration remember is an old problem in Assam. Now to curb infiltration there was a movement and in 1985 the then Rajiv Gandhi government to identify the intruders, how to agree to prepare NRC assuming the cut-off date of 25th March 1971.  

9. During NRC will we be asked to present old documents?

And the next question during NRC will we be asked to present old documents which are difficult to collect? The answer to this is there is nothing like that. Common or specific documents will only be required to prove identity. When the NRC or whenever the NRC is announced at the national level then rules and instructions will be made for it in such a way that no one will face any problem, any trouble. The government has no intention of harassing its citizens are putting them in trouble.  

10. What if a person is illiterate and doesn't have documents?
