Notes :
Ø  Foreign nationals who are currently residing in India and desirous of getting Indian Citizenship , will for getting “ Assessed / Scored “ as shown above
Ø  Such “ Foreigners “would need to apply , in a prescribed form to the designated officer in the   Home Ministry . Application will need to be supported by relevant documents
Ø  Their applications will be taken up for processing, on a “first come first served “basis
Ø  Home Ministry will appoint state-wise, third party Agencies to interview the applicants and fill up the above-mentioned, “ CITIZENSHIP ELIGIBILITY SCORE CARD
Ø  The total score will range from a minimum of 10 to a maximum of 50
Ø  The results of the SCORE will be published on the web site of the Home Ministry
Ø  The SCORE CARD itself will be a part of revised Citizenship Amendment Act ( to be presented to Lok Sabha by 01 April 2020
Ø  This revised amended CAA, will lay down the MINIMUM SCORE ( points ) needed for grant of Indian Citizenship to an applicant ( my suggestion > 30 + points )

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is only a CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK , primarily aimed at :

Ø  Clarifying the CRITERIA to be applied for determining the eligibility of a Foreigner

Ø  Making the process TRANSPARENT / UN-BIASED / SYSTEMETIC

Ø  Obtaining PRIOR CONSENSUS of all the political parties

Ø  Remove any MISTRUST from the minds of existing Muslim citizens of India



Dear Shri Amitbhai Shah,

With this, you can tell Donald Trump :

“ When it comes to giving EQUAL TREATMENT to both the majority and the minority , we are as democratic as your own country “
