On 31st August, the updated National Registry of Citizens was released in Assam aftera Supreme Court deadline..Of the 3.3 crore applicants, 3.11 crore figured in the final citizens' list, while about 19 lakh residents were excluded.

This led to protests about an uncertain future of such a large number of people.The government, however, has allayed all such fears, saying no person whose name is not there in he final list will be detained till he / she exhausts all legal remedies. The NRC exercise is the biggest in India, carried out under the supervision of the Supreme Court to weed out illegal immigrants, as well as their descendants, settled illegally in India. How and when did it begin? What is the criteria for identifying genuine Indian citizens and immigrants? And what was its need in Assam? These are some of the questions we'll try and find answers to IN DEPTH today.
