The Big Fight | Citizenship Act: Fundamentally Changing India?

It's been another tectonic week in India. A week that has seen parliament pass the controversial Citizenship (Amendment) Bill 2019 that was signed into law by the President at midnight. The bill has opened two separate fronts in India. In the Northeast, there are concerns that 'outsiders' will take over their tradition, culture and livelihood. These concerns have sparked violent protests, particularly in Assam. On a bigger scale, across the country, not only Opposition parties but also many concerned citizens and even international community have flagged the concern about whether this bill actually runs contrary to the spirit of India's constitution. On The Big Fight, we debate: Is the new Citizenship Act going to fundamentally change India?
