What Is The Difference Between CAB/CAA and NRC

After the Citizenship Amendment Bill (CAB) is passed by Parliament, the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) has become law. Under the provisions of this law, the process of granting Indian citizenship to six religious minority communities from three neighboring countries, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan, has taken refuge in India.

The CAA (Citizenship Amendment Act) or The CAB (the Citizenship Amendment Bill) has created a nationwide uproar. Those opposing it are calling it non-constitutional while the government says that not a single provision of it violates any part of the constitution in any way. At the same time, on the allegations of discrimination on the basis of religion through this law, the government says that it has nothing to do with an Indian citizen of any religion.

However, in the midst of these complications, demonstrations started across the country and in many places it took violent forms. In fact, many protesters feel that this law will snatch away their Indian citizenship, while the government has made it clear many times that the law is for granting citizenship and not for taking away citizenship. A large population does not know the difference between CAA and NRC properly.

The process of identifying the intruders living illegally in India through the NRC or National Citizen Register is to be completed. Now, this process took place only in Assam and the final list of NRC has been released there. In Assam, this process has been completed under the supervision of the Supreme Court. However, the government says that it will implement NRC across the country. The government has also clarified that the NRC framework applicable in the country will be different from the NRC norms of Assam.

Q. What is CAA?

Under this citizenship amendment law, Hindus, Sikhs, Christians, Parsis, Jains, and Buddhists who have been tortured from Pakistan, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Buddhists will be given citizenship of India.

Q. Why are there demonstrations about CAA/CAB?

There are two types of demonstrations about the CAB/CAA. The first demonstration is taking place in the North East which is about the implementation of this Act that people from outside India will come and settle in Assam, which threatens their culture. At the same time, except North East, the rest of India is demonstrating that it is non-constitutional. Rumors have spread among the protesters that this law could lead to their Indian citizenship being taken away.

Q. Which documents are valid under NRC?

Keep in mind that the NRC list has been prepared only in Assam. The provisions of the NRC that the government is talking of bringing all over the country are yet to be decided. The government will still have to travel long distances to bring this NRC. It will have to draft the NRC and get it passed by both houses of parliament. Then the NRC Act will come into existence after the President’s signature. However, he was given a place in the NRC list of Assam who proved that he or his ancestors had settled in India before 24 March 1971.

Q. Will CAA make a difference to Muslims in India?

The Ministry of Home Affairs has already made it clear that CAA has nothing to do with any citizen of any religion in India. It has a provision of giving citizenship of India to those non-Muslim people who have taken refuge in India after being victims of religious persecution in Pakistan, Bangladesh or Afghanistan. According to the law, the tortured religious minorities of these three countries who have come to India by 31 December 2014 will be given citizenship.

HT Rewind 2024: Teja Sajja says HanuMan kicking off the year in style is the moment he’d been ‘waiting for’ | Exclusive

HT Rewind 2024: Teja Sajja says HanuMan kicking off the year in style is the moment he’d been ‘waiting for’ | Exclusive

In conversation with Hindustan Times, Teja Sajja decodes the success of HanuMan and other Telugu films, talks about his upcoming projects, and more.
When Prasanth Varma’s superhero film HanuMan, starring Teja Sajja, was announced to be released alongside big films like Mahesh Babu’s Guntur Kaaram, Venkatesh’s Saindhav and Nagarjuna’s Naa Saami Ranga in January this year, no one expected the underdog to emerge on top. And yet, the film, made on a budget of under ₹50 crore, managed to collect over ₹300 crore at the box office worldwide in 25 days, becoming one of the highest-grossing Indian films for the year.

Ask Teja about the moment he realised his film had not just fought against the tide but also risen to the top; he tells Hindustan Times in an exclusive conversation, “Since I returned to acting (as a lead actor after being a child artiste since 1998), this is the moment I’ve been waiting for. When everything from the HanuMan teaser to the songs was grabbing attention, we knew we had hit a gold mine. But I don’t think we imagined it would cross the ₹300 crore threshold. We were so satisfied with the opening numbers; everything else was a bonus.”

‘Success has given me fear of disappointing people’

Teja acted in Zombie Reddy, Ishq and Adbhutham before HanuMan, but they are what you would call ‘critical successes’, adding to his repertoire as an actor who can perform. But things have changed for him now, says Teja, who is being picky about the roles he says yes to. “Success either makes you overconfident or gives you the fear of disappointing people; I have the latter,” he explains.

Teja admits he wants to chart out his career in Hrithik Roshan’s footsteps, but not in the way you think. “I have such a fondness for Hrithik due to Koi Mil Gaya and Krrish. No matter how well he performed after that, these left a lasting impression on me; I’m sure 90s kids will agree,” he says, adding, “Similarly, I’ve realised that I have an audience in children now. I want to be conscious of that when I pick roles. I want to make films families can enjoy together.”

But despite people in places like Mumbai or Delhi recognising him, Teja says he’s clear that he wants to cater to the Telugu audience first. “I am conscious that I am making films for my playground – the Telugu states. This is the sensibility I have grown up with, and I don’t know if I can cater to everyone else. Will I promote my films in other languages? Sure. But I also can’t be part of films that aren’t authentic to what I know or understand,” he explains.

‘Rootedness has put us on the world map’

And authenticity seems to be the need of the hour. Be it Baahubali and RRR or the recently released Pushpa 2: The Rule, Kalki 2898 AD and Devara: Part 1, certain kind of stories seem to be finding success. “Rootedness and going local is proving to be such a boon for us, be it in Devara or Pushpa or HanuMan. Kalki 2898 AD was our version of a Hollywood film (the sci-fi concept) with actors from across languages in predominant roles; it put us on the world map,” reflects Teja.

However, the actor admits Tollywood went through a phase of Bollywood-inspired rom-coms and family dramas that worked in their favour for a while. “That wasn’t easy to replicate either, but it’s just that these local stories are what the audience seems most interested in now. It can’t just be chalked up to religion, too. It’s about the morals these films are hinged on, the fighting for righteousness, and how an underdog can find their strength. Introducing Mahabharata or Ramayana to a new audience in a cool way is just a perk,” he says.

And it’s this rootedness that Teja says his next films, Mirai and Jai Hanuman (the sequel to HanuMan), will also have ample of. “Mirai is also a superhero film that caters to kids, but it’s not an origin story like HanuMan. It has a pan-Asian and Buddhist touch because the story is based on King Ashoka’s ideologies. I hope that I will get to deliver something new to the audience again. I will only feel like I’ve arrived if Mirai is equally, if not more, successful,” says Teja.

Rishab Shetty will headline Jai Hanuman, but Teja also looks forward to shooting that. “I can’t wait to be on that set; it’ll be exciting. Now that we know India is ready to watch our films, I want to step it up. I want to shift gears and shoot for at least two films in 2025,” he says. As for what he will do next, Teja says he wants to up the ante. “When I got a SIIMA award for Zombie Reddy as a debutant, I remember telling Prasanth this would be the last award I get. But now that I won a Radio City Cine Award for Best Actor, I hope more awards will follow,” he signs off cheekily.
