NRC Turning Hope Into Despair: Process, Politics and the Marginalisation of Indigenous People in Assam

This book presents an authoritative assessment of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) exercise in Assam from 2015 to 2019, examining its historical reasons, legal foundations, procedural mechanisms and political context. Across thirteen chapters, the book traces the origins of migration from the present-day territories of Bangladesh into Assam over the last 120 years, its demographic and socio-economic impact on indigenous communities, especially on land, and the administrative and legal measures adopted to address it.Written by a Senior Advocate and a court commissioner to report on the Indo-Bangladesh border by the Supreme Court and a serving NRC administrator, this book offers an informed, ground-level perspective on one of India's most complex citizenship exercises.
