"This Land Is Mine, I Am Not of This Land: CAA-NRC and the Manufacture of Statelessness" edited by Harsh Mander and Navsharan Singh, is a critical collection of essays that meticulously examines the controversial Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and the proposed National Register of Citizens (NRC) in India. The book delves into the theoretical, political, and deeply personal implications of these laws, particularly focusing on their potential to disenfranchise millions, especially India's Muslim population and marginalized communities. Through various contributions, it traces the evolution of citizenship in India, scrutinizes the peculiar case of Assam and the human cost of bureaucratic processes, and ultimately questions the constitutionality of the CAA and the superfluity of the National Population Register (NPR), arguing that the very democratic foundation of the Republic is at stake when a key value like citizenship is put into question.
