Whatever is your stand w.r.t. CAA (Citizenship Amendment Act), 2019 and NRIC (National Register of Indian Citizens) but first everyone needs to ponder about few things:-
1. An eye for eye makes whole world blind.
-Gandhi Ji.
I agree with your concerns but i will object the way you chose to show them. For those (police and public) who believe in violence.
2. Even rule of law is regressive in nature-
So raise your voice but not because Guha Sahab raised so you do. Because cost of violence is like GST (Regressive in Nature).(Poorest of the poor would suffer the most)
3. NRIC
Fear does not has a religious biased ness.
Proof of citizenship (proper documents) is nothing to do with religion. But yes definitely it has a bad romance with poor and elderly people. Therefore Hindus must be feared about NRC and at the same time Muslims or other minorities must not feel sole victim of NRC.
4. Northeast Indians and their agony
In my opinion (i may be wrong) first concern about CAA and NRC arose from Northeast India and upto a certain extent (not absolute) it is genuine and must be at forefront of protest even in Mainland India.
5. Know before action
Without knowing syllabus you can not clear exam. So CAA becomes CBI or CAG for a novice.This is the right time to feel the importance of history and knowledge. Do not become judgmental merely on some recent facts. For example everyone almost knows about the number of article but only few knows about what it actually says.
6. Don't behave lika a sheep.
I support CAA or I do not or why is s/he not standing with me or s/he is Muslim or Hindu so s/he is opposing or supporting the CAA respectively, are few mentalities which are roaming around all of us. If you are one of them then take a pause and think for a while.
7. In the name of community feelings
"First save us then save others." "Victims of long lasting historical persecution of minorities must be given some heed"
These two sentences are being used by two different groups. Now just think patiently who is 100% right or who is 100% wrong.
8. Today's opposition was yesterday's government and vice versa
If you are aware enough then no one can bake their bread through your aggression. Government cannot ignore you for a long time but violence will cost only your loss.
9. Know the chemistry of protest
Thekedar of religions are only catalyst, they will not directly take part in any chemical reaction but only would increase the rate of reaction. Ultimately your energy would be consumed.
10. Clapping requires both hands
Support CAA or oppose CAA but please take into account all above scenarios, because they will help you to come out from the walls of one sidedness.
Most importantly always remember a wise quote of Voltaire
"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."
So do not judge your friends, relative or even yourself just because of s/he is opposing or supporting the Act.
