The National Register of Citizens (NRC) draft for Assam was recently released. While the state endeavors to ascertain sons of the soil, a handful of humans stare at the prospect of being rendered stateless. While my patriotic heart is elated at the draft list being out, my humane soul sheds a tear on the possibility of the innocent being shoved into turmoil. I describe this in my poem " Stateless" published on 10th August 2018, courtesy the Assam Tribune. The government has assured that no citizen of India will have to leave the country, and people whose names have been missing in the released draft list shall be given adequate opportunities to get their concerns addressed.
