For those of you wondering ‘What is CAB?’ ‘Why are people of Assam protesting against CAB?’ This blog will give you a short glimpse about CAB. The  Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019  is an Act of the  Parliament of India  amending the  Citizenship Act of 1955  to give a path to Indian citizenship to illegal migrants who entered India on or before 31 December 2014.
