Citizenship Amendment Act: Why you need religion as a label to define and identify cruelty?


Citizenship Amendment Act, 2019 is providing a path to Indian citizenships to persecuted Hindu refugees. As a secular country, how it matters, one is Hindu, Muslim or any other religion.





Can't we coin the draft something like this:





Anyone who is prosecuted based on religion and has spent a minimum of 5 years in India can apply for citizenship. You can get your citizenship after the evaluation of the authenticity of your appeal.





It's a suggestion, and can also be further improved.





Policies are the mental models, it gives the guidance of how we think and operate, it should be precise and unambiguous without room for confusion, and should give an objective truth that doesn't change with time.





Allowing citizenship based on religion generates wrong mental models, and creates uncertainty for other religions. The first principle is don't allow cruelty, it doesn't matter whether you are Muslim or Hindu. Now, Hindus are being prosecuted by some Muslim countries, you never know in the future, it can be people with some other religion or way of living.





This is the definition of Refugee.





A refugee is someone who has been forced to flee his or her country because of persecution, war or violence. A refugee has a well-founded fear of persecution for reasons of race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership in a particular social group. Most likely, they cannot return home or are afraid to do so. War and ethnic, tribal and religious violence are leading causes of refugees fleeing their countries.

How refugee of one religion is different from refugee from other religion? Is it not utter discrimination and bias towards a particular religion (e.g. Muslims here). Isn't it unscientific to label and include people based on religion, where all refugee have the same or similar problem?





Excerpt from CAA




The law can also be interpreted as it creates a cutoff of 31st Dec, 2014, and law becomes inoperative after the date, and it decreases that lengthy time for getting citizenship for these religions. But the bias towards Muslim is apparent here.





Yes, they all will go through the process, irrespective of religion, there are lots of technicalities involved in it. It's the process that creates trouble, and the draft does nothing about it. The draft is unnecessary and meant to build chaos and confusion, instead, they should be busy planning and streamlining the process, defining the steps, using technology to increase efficiency, understanding their problem, if they are really interested in well being of Hindu or Muslim or any refugees. People are not going to get a good living just by getting citizenship.





If we had a fair democracy led by scientists and researchers, such law would never have made, and if there were a problem, it would have revised within an hour or kept in hold for collecting further evidence and solutions.

Bacteria and Competition: How it's similar to human? and Why we should have family planning?

Growth of the bacteria refers to an increase in bacterial numbers When bacteria is grown in a liquid nutrient medium, the population is counted at many time intervals, and we get a bacterial growth curve that represents growth of cells over time. Why bacterial growth curve is so important? It gives the idea to learn about the impact of competition in the simplest way. It gives the answer what happens to a population when resources are limited. Bacterial growth best suits even to describe the human population. In science, there are 4 phases, but for simplistic understanding, without any scientific jargon it can be three stages: Thrive, Survive, and Deteriorate Image from wikipedia (A: Lag phase, B: Log phase, C: Stationary phase, D: Death phase) Stage 1: Thrive In this phase bacteria has sufficient resources, so bacteria flourish, prosper or grow vigorously. In science, it's the lag phase and log phase. In the lag phase, there is no cell division, but cells are not dormant, they und...

A new fair democracy inspired by Delegated Proof of Stake algorithm

Preprint link: https://osf.io/82mpk/ dem·oc·racy [democracy democracies] 1) fair and equal treatment of everyone in a country or organization, etc, and their right to take part in making decisions 2) a system of government in which all the people of a country can vote to elect their representatives Yes, most democratic countries fulfill the second definition of democracy, but none to the first definition. Abstract: Democracy is about fair and equal treatment of everyone in a country. But it becomes unrealistic to achieve when political parties have their conflict of interest , and leaders don't have the expertise to make evidence-based policies and neither have the skill and manpower for solving problems that surround our society and ecosystem. The new fair democracy provides an elegant way of governance that separates the representative responsibility according to their specialization and can grow into any complexity. The governance is divided into various departments, and each ...
