Long before Supreme Court ruling, how Ambedkar grappled with Assam’s citizenship question
The Supreme Court ruled that citizenship status must be determined through a fair process, sending 27 cases back to foreigners' tribunals in Assam. This ruling echoes the debates from August 1949, when B R Ambedkar addressed Assam's migration concerns during the Constituent Assembly discussions on citizenship. Ambedkar's insights remain relevant as the country continues to grapple with issues of migration and citizenship.
