Episode 32: The NRC Quagmire: Why is Assam on Edge? - a podcast by Centre for Policy Research (CPR)

In the 32nd episode of ThoughtSpace, Yamini Aiyar (President and Chief Executive, CPR) speaks to Sanjoy Hazarika (Director, Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative and Honorary Research Professor, CPR) about the implications of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) exercise in Assam.

The passage of the CAA was met by a fierce reaction in the northeastern part of the country, particularly in Assam. Assam has also witnessed the National Register of Citizens or the NRC process. What were the reasons behind this process and how did it unfold? Why are the people of Assam protesting against the CAA and are these protests different from that in the rest of India? Are the CAA and NRC linked in any way?
