SUMMARY:Law\, Citizenship\, and Dissent in India
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER HERE. \nThe past few years have been witness to a renewed interest in the question of citizenship in India. These conversations have taken on greater urgency in light of the latest amendments to the country’s Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) in 2019 and the announcement in that same year of plans for the implementation of a nation-wide National Register of Citizens (NRC). The CAA amendment of 2019 is the first time in the history of post-colonial India that religion is being used as a criterion for citizenship. The amended Act provides a path to citizenship for persecuted minorities from neighboring countries but excludes Muslims. The NRC creates challenging obstacles before existing citizens and residents of India to prove through documents that they meet its eligibility criteria. The countrywide protests against the CAA and NRC have led to robust debates about the intersection between law\, citizenship\, and dissent. This series of conversations and book discussions will critically analyze the present moment\, but also take a historical approach to questions of secularism\, citizenship and belonging\, hate speech and symbols\, and censorship. The discussions will feature perspectives from lawyers\, historians\, and anthropologists. \nTHURSDAY\, MARCH 2\, 2023 \nSession 1 (Louis A.
