The NRC in Assam Is a False Hope

The Assam accords promised some things but they were not able to deliver that and it's only from about 2005 mid-2000s that the talk of doing another round of the NRC comes back into circulation. A number of intellectuals of Assam of all political persuasions actually said that maybe this will allow us to put this question behind us but that is proved to be totally a false hope because what has happened is that you eventually have today about 1.9 million people who have not been able to prove that they are citizens.
