 "Narendra Modi, Amit Shah")
This week Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president and Union Home Minister, Amit Shah will effectively launch the campaign of his party for the 2024 general election. He will do so by introducing the Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB) in Parliament. The Opposition is unlikely to have an effective counter-strategy and the six decade old Citizenship Act will be amended to the ideological will of the ruling dispensation.
The Modi government is fashioning something much more than an electoral strategy--- a system that is democratic but also majoritarian. It wants to dismantle multicultural democracy in India -- ironically, using democratic methods.
