High-Level Committee on Demographic Change (HLC-DC): Another Offensive on Indian Muslims!

Based on the hypothetical fallacy of large-scale Muslim immigration affecting demographic change, the discourse of this government, evident in the terms of reference of the HLC-DC defies figures and logic: In fact, indeed, the fertility rate among Hindus in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar is higher than the fertility rate among Muslims in many southern states. In other words, Muslim women in the southern states are, on average, having fewer children than Hindu women in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh.

Will recently amended Birth Registration law be (mis)used to curb voting rights, even launch the dreaded NPR?

After the Lok Sabha passed Bill (amendment to the 1969 Births & registration law) to create a National Database of Births & Deaths giving sweeping powers (and control) of birth, death registration data to the union government, its serious implications need to be examined. With birth registration already having severe loopholes (77 % of children in urban areas and only 56.4 % in rural areas have had their births registered) if a birth registration certificate is made a precursor to the right to vote, implications could be disastrous. And undemocratic.
