The National Register of Citizen is a list prepared by the government of India to separate illegal immigrants from legitimate citizens of Assam. According to officials, approximately 40 lakh people did not make it to the final list. The demand for updating the NRC in Assam is long-standing. Since the NDA brought citizenship amendment bill in 2016, the demand for the updated NRC started gaining ground once again and this time it is going more aggressively.
