Bibliography

Expanding the "International reactions" section of the article

While the "International reactions" section of this article was interesting, I think it can be improved by a discussion of the implications of the international response to the CAA. Seeing all of the different country's responses is useful, but synthesizing overall responses and adding discussion and analysis would be useful.

Not mentioned, vs. Excluded

About the paragraph headed "Exclusion of Other Persecuted Minorities": Groups that are not mentioned cannot be said to be excluded. After all, they are not specifically excluded based on specific criteria, and hundreds of other minorities are not mentioned. Suggest changing the heading to "Other Persecuted Minorities". 23:16, 28 October 2023 (UTC) Sooku (talk) 23:16, 28 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

We use the language that reliable sources used when discussing this law, and to my knowledge such sources largely call it an exclusion. Vanamonde (Talk) 15:26, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not said explicitly who are EXCLUDED

Law never said who are excluded, but talks about communities that are covered under this law. So highlighting that 'Muslim are excluded' is WP:SYNTHESIS : this applies to 'not grant citizen to ATHEIST in these countries. So removed from the lead. Afv12e (talk) 18:34, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is written by summarising reliable sources. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 20:42, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
why don't you add atheists there? Afv12e (talk) 13:07, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
As Kautilya said, we summarize what reliable sources say about the topic. The exclusion of Muslims, including persecuted Muslim minorities, is mentioned prominently by the overwhelming majority of sources; the exclusion of atheists is not. Vanamonde93 (talk) 15:21, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Consensus for lead

Regarding this edit

■ "The law does not grant such eligibility to Muslims from these countries." - isn't it apparent from the preceeding sentences ie " It amended the Citizenship Act, 1955 by providing an accelerated pathway to Indian citizenship for persecuted religious minorities from Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Pakistan who arrived in India by 2014. The eligible minorities were stated as Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis or Christians." As I noted here, it need not to overstate as it is apparent from the preceding sentences. This law gives citizenship to minorities from muslim countries; Muslims are not minorities in those Muslim majority/ Islamic republics such as Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh.

I think after clarifying this we can move on to other edits I've done on this article's lead. Echo1Charlie (talk) 16:04, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
