Injustice and harassment still continues after 53 years after the 1962 Border War

A few days ago, I was made aware of a situation currently in
India, which I was totally ignorant of. Since I left the country with my family
half a century ago, I was so eager to start a new life that I hadn’t paid much
attention to those ethnic Chinese who remained in India and had made India
their home. I assumed everything had changed for the better after the ’62 war
was long over. Apparently, I was wrong. Those Chinese born before 1950 that
hold Chinese passports, are still being denied Indian citizenship. They have to
renew their resident permit every year and pay around 10,000 rupees each time.
When they want to travel outside the jurisdiction of Kolkata, they are required
to obtain special travel permits. There is
something grievously wrong here. India prides herself of being the biggest
Democracy in the world. Where is the justification of this? How can the central
government allow this injustice to continue for 65+ years? I repeat. These
residents have been denied citizenship for 65+ years!! These residents are a
small minority and are getting smaller by the year. They have, by and large,
been too scared to speak up for themselves. This is a violation of their human
rights and needs to be rectified. |
