It is one year since the NRC was published in Assam.

Nearly two million people were left quasi-stateless.

What happened to them?

@psychia90 has a series of reports.

One year later, those left out of the Assam NRC are yet to receive their rejection orders, needed to appeal against their exclusion in foreigners tribunals.

Life as an 'NRC reject' comes with social humiliations, legal deprivations.

Can't buy land or take up government jobs.

Weddings have been cancelled, membership to groups nearly revoked.

As @psychia90 reported earlier, NRC rejects are struggling to get passports.

“If a person is not included in the NRC, it is assumed that he is not an Indian citizen."

Even inclusion in the NRC does not guarantee peace.

Bengali-speaking Muslims in Assam thought NRC would be their shot at dignity. They were wrong.

“Nothing has changed, nothing at all."

The Assamese group that had driven the NRC process for decades is not happy: it had expected a higher number of people to be excluded.

Assam’s NRC failed to address the social and economic anxieties it was to resolve for good.

A history of traumas cannot find redress in a narrow bureaucratic process.

India is holding its first commercial coal mine auctions bang in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic.

Coal mining states stand to lose. Here's how.

#Thread
Loss of forest cover, communities face displacement, yet the coal mining states haven't been consulted – as Jharkhand has stated in a suit filed in the Supreme Court.

The coal mining states stand to lose even in terms of revenues.
Economic conditions are likely to depress the bid offers in the coal auctions – which makes it even more important for the Modi government to ensure the offers do not fall below a certain threshold by fixing an appropriate floor benchmark.

Here's where things get interesting.

Delhi Police wants you to believe that the February violence was the outcome of a sinister conspiracy by Citizenship Act protestors.

But where is the evidence?

#Thread
This week, Delhi Police filed an affidavit in court alleging CAA protestors were willing to “execute a secessionist movement in the country by propagating an armed rebellion against the lawfully constituted government of the day”.
This, after it said in many chargesheets that the worst riots in 4 decades in the national capital were "a consequence of a deep-rooted conspiracy which was hatched under the garb of democratically opposing the Citizenship Act.”

You've been reading about the purported WhatsApp conversations of Delhi rioters.

We took a deep dive.

#Thread
If accurate, the transcripts submitted by the police in court provide a vivid, chilling account of the way communal violence unfolded in Delhi in February.

@VijaytaL and @ShoaibDaniyal report

scroll.in/article/966775…
Purported conversations between the rioters shows that they consider the Delhi Police as an ally, rather than a force they should be fearful of.

“We don’t need the police. There are enough Hindu brothers to f**k their mothers.”
