  नागरिकता संशोधन अधिनियम (CAA): भविष्य की दिशा नागरिकता संशोधन अधिनियम (CAA) भारतीय नागरिकता में एक महत्वपूर्ण परिवर्तन लाने का प्रयास है। यह अधिनियम बांगलादेश, पाकिस्तान और अफगानिस्तान से उत्पीड़ित शरणार्थियों को भारतीय नागरिकता प्रदान करने का उद्देश्य रखता है। विशेष रूप से, यह इस नागरिकता अधिनियम को संशोधित करने का प्रयास करता है ताकि भारतीय नागरिकता के योग्यता प्राप्त कर सकें हिन्दू, सिख, बौद्ध, जैन, पारसी और ईसाई अवैध प्रवासियों को इन देशों से। इस अधिनियम के तहत, 2014 के दिसंबर तक भारत में प्रवेश करने वाले प्रवासियों को त्वरित भारतीय नागरिकता प्राप्त हो सकती थी। इस संशोधन ने प्राकृतिकीकरण के लिए निवास की आवश्यकता को ग्यारह वर्ष से पांच वर्ष कर दिया। यह अधिनियम मुस्लिमों को इसके परिधि से बाहर रखने के लिए भारी आलोचना का सामना कर चुका है। इसके अलावा, अब नागरिकता संशोधन अधिनियम के नियमों को भी अधिकारिक रूप से लागू किया गया है। यह भारत की नागरिकता ढांचे में एक महत्वपूर्ण विकास की ओर संकेत करता है।

He wondered, “Why would anyone throw goodness into a river?” One day, as Kapil led a herd of sheep to graze near the riverbank, he noticed an old woman struggling to cross the fast-flowing stream. Her frail legs trembled, and her eyes pleaded for help. Kapil’s heart swelled with compassion. Without a second thought, he stepped into the water, supporting the old woman as she clung to his shoulder. Together, they crossed the river safely. The woman’s gratitude touched Kapil’s soul. As days passed, Kapil continued to help others. He fetched water for the we...
