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.

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."

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.
