In the wake of Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) UN High Commissioner, Michele Bachelet, has filed an intervention in the Supreme Court petition challenging the constitutionality of the Citizenship Amendment Act, as she is critical of CAA. Responding to her, India’s Foreign Minister S. Jai Shanker strongly rebutted her criticism, saying that the body (UNHCR) has been wrong and is blind to the problem of cross border terrorism. The issue on hand is the possibility of scores of people, mainly Muslims, being declared as stateless. The problem at hand is the massive exercise of going through the responses/documents from over 120 crore of Indian population and screening documents, which as seen in Assam, yield result which are far from truthful or necessary.
The issue of CAA has been extensively debated and despite heavy critique of the same by large number of groups and despite the biggest mass opposition ever to any move in Independent India, the Government is determined on going ahead with an exercise which is reminiscent of the dreaded regimes which are sectarian and heartless to its citizens, which have indulged in extinction of large mass of people on grounds of citizenship, race etc. The Foreign minister’s assertion is that it is a matter internal to India, where India’s sovereignty is all that matters! As far as sovereignty is concerned we should be clear that in current times any sovereign power has to consider the need to uphold the citizenship as per the principle of non-discrimination which is stipulated in Art.26 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political (ICCPR) rights.
Can such policies, which affect large number of people and are likely to affect their citizenship be purely regarded as ‘internal’? With the World turning into a global village, some global norms have been formulated during last few decades. The norms relate to Human rights and migrations have been codified. India is also signatory to many such covenants in including ICCPR, which deals with the norms for dealing with refugees from other countries. One is not talking of Chicago speech of Swami Vivekanand, which said that India’s greatness has been in giving shelter to people from different parts of the World; one is also not talking of the Tattariaya Upanishad’s ‘Atithi Devovhav’ or ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbkam’ from Mahaupanishad today.
What are being talked about are the values and opinions of organizations which want to ensure to preserve of Human rights of all people Worldwide. In this matter India is calling United Nations body as ‘foreign party’; having no locus standi in the case as it pertains to India’s sovereignty. The truth is that since various countries are signatories to UN covenants, UN bodies have been monitoring the moves of different states and intervening at legal level as Amicus (Friend of the Court) to the courts in different countries and different global bodies. Just to mention some of these, UN and High Commissioner for Human Rights has often submitted amicus briefs in different judicial platforms. Some examples are their intervention in US Supreme Court, European Court of Human Rights, International Criminal Court, and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights. These are meant to help the Courts in areas where UN bodies have expertise.
Expertise on this has been jointly formulated by various nations. These interventions also remind the nations as to what global norms have been evolved and what are the obligations of individual states to the values which have evolved over a period of time. Arvind Narrain draws our attention to the fact that, “commission has intervened in the European Court of Human Rights in cases involving Spain and Italy to underscore the principle of non-refoulement, which bars compulsory expulsion of illegal migrants… Similarly, the UN has intervened in the International Criminal Court in a case against the Central African Republic to explicate on the international jurisprudence on rape as a war crime.”
From time to time organizations like Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have been monitoring the status of Human rights of different countries. This puts those countries in uncomfortable situation and is not welcome by those establishments. How should this contradiction between ‘internal matter’, ‘sovereignty’ and the norms for Human rights be resolved? This is a tough question at the time when the freedom indices and democratic ethos are sliding downwards all over the world. In India too has slid down on the scale of these norms.
In India we can look at the intervention of UN body from the angle of equality and non discrimination. Democratic spirit should encourage us to have a rethink on the matters which have been decided by the state. In the face of the greatest mass movement of Shaheen bagh, the state does need to look inwards and give a thought to international morality, the spirit of global family to state the least.
The popular perception is that when Christians were being persecuted in Kandhmal the global Christian community’s voice was not strong enough. Currently in the face of Delhi carnage many a Muslim majority countries have spoken. While Mr. Modi claims that his good relations with Muslim countries are a matter of heartburn to the parties like Congress, he needs to relook at his self gloating. Currently Iran, Malaysia, Indonesia and many Muslim majority countries have spoken against what Modi regime is unleashing in India. Bangladesh, our neighbor, has also seen various protests against the plight of Muslims in India. More than the ‘internal matter’ etc. what needs to be thought out is the moral aspect of the whole issue. We pride ourselves in treading the path of morality. What does that say in present context when while large section of local media is servile to the state, section of global media has strongly brought forward what is happening to minorities in India.
The hope is that Indian Government wakes up to its International obligations, to the worsening of India’s image in the World due to CAA and the horrific violence witnessed in Delhi.
The couple have been identified as Neha Anjum and Pradeep, both hailing from Chitradurga.

2 incidents recently took place in Mangalore Muslim Girls married to Hindu boys, both of them came back their Husbands also embraced Islam. all knows that Islam only a true community rest all leads to hell fire and baseless
Infact she loved hell fire by loving a non believer of Allah who created all the universe. It's better for a Muslim man to marry a slave women instead of marrying a non believing women. Same way for a believing women it is better to marry a believing slave man instead of marrying a non believing rich person. May Allah give Hidaya to both.
MastAli , it's better than worshipping a child rapist
she has become blind in love, its okay no big issue, when the whole world is becoming Muslim, these incidents should not stop our spirit of sharing the belief of Islam. See the percentage of growth of Islam its higher than any other religion. Those who enjoying the news that Girl married Hindu remember my words Islam will enter every home, Truth will prevail and falsehood is bound to perish..
..powattt apara...attig pooith.....2 months l wapas bandaaal ....but it will b too late....
i am a muslim... i dont see what is wrong with this...so what?
she was told it is haram by her parents , yet she did... its her decision.
you all should start ignoring such cases and go ahead and get a life .
Proud indian...
Your view is only yours and it wont effect the one who created you & ME...and all that exists...
Before you mention such silly and arrogant things... Just look what ISLAM says about the CREATOR and the LIFE he had given us all, also in YOUR VEDAS.. which says NA TASYA PRATIMA ASTI... there is no image of God..
It proves that the so called GODs, YOU guys are worshiping in the form of Stones and others are NOT GOD its a man made stones which is LIFE LESS. and stones cannot help U or it will not reach GOD who created U & ME and all that Exists..
Atleast Use your God give intellect when you are worshiping the STONES, animals or even their shit...
The more U worship the created things, U hearts are becoming LIFELESS just like the STONES... Please look for TRUE GOD and Worship him alone ... which is a light for the HEART.
The Girl who run after many gods will not effect a bit for ISLAM.. the religion of TRUTH. please note that...
All the best!

Hidayath denewala Allah hai. Log kuch nahi karsakthe hain.
Congratulations to the couple. You married on your will. Wish you a happy married life!
She left her everything for you, Please take good care of her.
Have a happy life. All the best
She has taken very unwise decision by neglecting her parents. Since she has no respect to her parents, I am sure she will not respect any one else and she will bring more headache to her lover + his parents. However, I pray Allah to give her right way of thinking and let us come to know about her mistake and repent for it. Any how, we are not bothered about her as it is her will and none is going to force her to come back to her original.
what goes around will comes around. but at the moment let them both enjoy....
May Allah protect us from hell fire......Inna illahi wa inna ilahi rajiwoon. may allah guide us in a straight path.
Guys, take it easy. And dont post rude comments. Mistakes are done by everyone. It is better for her to repent. She may correct the mistake. we never know what is the future. Lets not judge anyone. Judgement is from the lord.
congrats... wish u happy married life :) ... she escaped from oppression and slavery ... even cattle lifter in particular community demand higga mugga dowry ... ... haha ...... education level saha hennu makkalalli jaasthi ide ... they dont want to become 1 out of 4 ... so they opt out for christains and hindus ... not only this case , like this many cases are underway ...
Hindu guys are looking for Muslim girls out there.. but forgot about our own sisters..please god gv sme good thnkng to our brothers.. our sister are getting ruined by caste system but these fellow mates are looking for others instead of searching inside.. I dnt knw wat will happen to our sisters
May Allah save all of brother and sister from the fitnah of Iblish... Yha Allah please we born as muslim and grant us death with iman Ameen
This is the result advanced tech. Parents has to check their all mobile nos which has fake names ie real boys name as girls names (dummy) names and incoming calls blocked by lovers. Only user will unlock during parents absence.
Several Muslim girls have married non-muslim men before also. No big deal!
And in all cases, the marraiges have failed and the girls have returned back to their families. This one also will return in a year or so.
parents are not much educated enough to the effect of Facebook and whatsapp. If you want to provide phone to your children give them simple phone where they can not download illicit apps
After getting bored with worshiping Cow, Monkey God and idols. definitely she will return back to the real God. Insha Allah
Ajmer Case is going to repeat again!
truth will prevail and evil will perish soon. In shaa Allah
Inna Lillahi wa inna illahi Rajivoon. Lack of follow ups by the parents and overconfidence of parents and Lack of God fear and religion of Islam leads to these kind of things.
chaddi dal i hate coz its doing wrong is not gud murthi puja is wrong way so i hate chaddi jihad
Congratulations Girl for the best decision.
This is the sign of qayamat, In Sha ALLAH, all this kind of girls will get big punishment.
happy married life, ishwar bless you both.
I am a proud kafir (Infedel) and will always remain so. Millions of girls worldwide - especially from islamic countries and turning to hindusim - one true religion.
I see alot of non-muslims are cursing Islam as always but let me tell you if you go through survey you will find out that most of Hindu girls have got married with Muslims men but we dont show off like you. ISLAM IS THE RELIGION OF PEACE and if you doubt it come to me i will clear your doubts. If you want to cross check what i have said then you better check my Past you ll find out how many HINDU girls have been my Gfs but ISLAM opened up my eyes and showed me the right path so i left all of them to live in peace and got myself prepared for the life hereafter.
I WARN YOU TO STOP ATTACKING ISLAM. TAKE MY ADVISE START LEARNING ABOUT ISLAM THEN COMPARE WITH YOUR RELIGION I ASSURE YOU LL FIND THE REAL LIFE.
Dudhka Dudh Panika Pani :)
