India has been at boiling point since December, when Mr Modi’s government pushed through an amendment to the country’s citizenship laws, laying out a fast-track path to citizenship for followers of all South Asia’s major faiths — except Islam — from three nearby countries. The government said the law was required to resolve the ambiguous legal status of people who had sought refuge in India from religious persecution in neighbouring Muslim-majority Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan. But analysts said India could have achieved the same goal with a carefully drafted, neutral refugee law that did not promise sanctuary only to followers of certain faiths. Many Muslims feel the law sends a clear signal that they are second-class citizens. Such anxieties have been reinforced by Amit Shah, the home minister, who has repeatedly promised to undertake a citizenship verification exercise in which all who cannot prove their eligibility will face deportation.
