Watching PBS Newshour feature on immigration issues in Assam today. It is so heartbreaking. We complain all the time here about our US immigration woes and completely ignore the gut wrenching reality of people being made stateless for generations to come because they are too poor / uneducated to have papers? My parents don’t have a birth certificate either but never has their identity been questioned (well not yet I guess). This is so not the ethos of the country I grew up in.

Zoh 1 proving my point here.

My good Sir / Ma’am, Amna Nawaz (a highly respected journalist) was merely the presenter of the overall show. Please see below the link to the story with the names of the actual reporters on the story. Feel free to investigate all their uncles and aunts as well https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/indias-immigrant-crackdown-leaves-nearly-2-million-stateless

There is no point in responding. Peace ✌🏽

I guess I should specify that the country I grew up in is *India* (before I’m accused of being Pakistani which seems to be this bowls favorite response to any topic / comment that warrants self-reflection) 🙄

😀

The exact is happening in the US and has happened in the US. And I’m not referring to hypocritical patriots chasing green card. Given your strong ethos, you should move to Norway. Or your gut wrenches selectively?

Deloitte, what country are you living in ? And when are you going back to India ? Are you or your parents from Assam ? Are you Bengali ? Where was the outrage when it actually happened ?

Because I would find this issue maybe 200 in my list of issues with India. This is not even an issue for assam or West Bengal. But it will be number 1 in my list when it comes to USA, the country I’m dying to settle in like everyone on this bowl.

OP this is not the ethos of where you grew up in, I get it. We were also a diff country then. We are worlds most populous country now and have to feed the people. We can’t have illegal immigrants coming in and then having to support them. Unfortunately, they are primarily from a specific religion by virtue of our neighbors being Muslim majority. If we don’t feed the people then you’ll be the first one screaming that look at the top 5 economy of the world with such high poverty rate. That’s not how it works. It’s not black or white. Illegal immigration of any kind, irrespective of the religion, has to stop. These same countries on the name of religion can threaten us but somehow when it comes to immigration and managing their own population, India should shoulder the burden. GTFO

Op is resting for sometime now cause he is the same person who posted the 6-0 propoganda 😀
Don’t bother engaging him

Anyone struggling with imposter syndrome? When I worked for a very well known Fortune500 tech company I couldn't help but feel major imposter syndrome.
