    This thread is for Non-resident Indians in America that support the #CAA Today I want to tell you the story of a man called Bhagat Singh Thind. He was born in 1892 in colonial Punjab. In 1913 he went to the US for higher education and enlisted as a soldier for the US Army

        Bhagat Singh was a US citizen for precisely four days the first time he got citizenship after applying for it in 1918. Eleven months later he got it for a second time. However, US laws started denaturalizing Indian immigrants who had become citizens because they were "not white".

        Thind took his case to the US Supreme Court in United States v. Bhagat Singh Thind (1923). He argued that he was a high-caste Aryan blooded fellow and so this could be added to the classification under the Naturalization Act of 1906 under which only "free white persons" and

        Once they became "aliens" they were automatically subject to the California Alien Land Law of 1913 under which they could not own agricultural land but only lease it for three years at a time. In 1924 Vaishno Das Bagai was stripped of his citizenship and forced to sell his house

        As India moved closer to independence in 1946, public support for Indians in America grew especially because of their participation in the war effort in Europe. It was also widely seen that the Thind decision was racially motivated. And it took a lot of steam-rolling of Congress

        I will add one more crucial point. It is important to remember that what the #CAA_NRC_Protest are fighting for is to reclaim those very ideas that were the dream in 1946, the year the Luce-Cellar act was passed. The words of Gandhi, Nehru, Ambedkar, Phule, Tilak, Periyar

        So when you support the #CAA you basically tell every single Indian that is fighting for a secular and progressive India, that none of what happened back then mattered. But it did. Specifically, it mattered for YOU the NRI who is now marching about with his placard in San Fran.

        I should also add that personally I think Thind made an absolutely casteist argument in the US Supreme Court and obviously also reflects the current contradictions with the NRI community where they hold on to manuvaad while voting for democrats in the US.

        Clarification : Thind never killed himself. The protest-suicide in the middle of the story is by Vaishno Baiga who lost his citizenship retrospectively after the Thind judgment. He didn’t want to become a British subject and couldn’t get a US passport to travel.
