The Citizenship (Amendment) Bill grants citizenship to the non-Muslims Hindus, Sikhs, Christians, Buddhist, Jains and Parsis — from Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh who arrived in India before December 31, 2014.
In other words, the CAB paves way for Indian citizenship to lakhs of immigrants, who identify themselves with any of the given religions, even if they lack proper documentation to prove their residency. It clearly means that any immigrant who is a Muslims will not be eligible for Indian citizenship under the amended bill.

Jinnah was not the first to propose the Two-Nation Theory, but with the creation of Pakistan, he converted it into a political reality. Before the partition of united India, there was serious apprehension among Muslims at the prospect of becoming a minority in a Hindu-dominated India.
Despite the Congress Party’s affirmations of its secular values, many Muslims were suspicious and fretted that the Hindu majority would seek to marginalise them. The two-nation theory is now taught to all school children in Pakistan and many see this as liberation from India, as opposed to freedom from the British rule.
