Illegal immigration is a threat to democracy and diversity

Democracy thrives when resources and opportunities are allocated equitably. Mlegal immigration disrupts this balance.

- SANTISHREE DHULIPUDI PANDIT

India’s democratic framework and its richly pluralistic society face an existential challenge from illegal immigration. A nation built on the principles of equality, justice, and the rule of law, India finds itself grappling with the strain of unauthorized migration. Illegal immigration undermines the very foundations of democracy, distorts resource distribution, poses a security challenge, and exacerbates cultural and communal tensions. The issue demands immediate attention, especially in light of India’s legislative efforts, such as the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and the mounting crises in neighbouring countries.

There have been attempts by some to say that the greatest Indian thinker of modern India, Babasaheb Bharat Ratna Dr B.R. Ambedkar was only critical of Hinduism and its caste system. But they are selective in quoting him; he was as critical of Islam and Christianity. One needs to read all his writings, especially “Pakistan or Partition”. This book has been ignored by the woke left liberal ecosystem. He was for complete transfer of populations during Partition and stated “Islam can never allow a true Muslim to adopt India as his motherland and regard a Hindu as his kith and kin”. He wrote this in 1945.
