The Citizenship Amendment Act, passed by Parliament on December 11, 2019, seeks to expedite the process of obtaining Indian citizenship for migrants originating from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Pakistan. These migrants belong to the Hindu, Sikh, Jain, Parsi, Buddhist, and Christian communities and entered India on or before December 31, 2014, fleeing religious persecution in their countries of origin.

Even after four years had passed since its approval in Parliament, the implementation of the CAA had not materialized due to the ongoing process of finalizing the associated rules and procedures.
