Abstract
The legal landscape of citizenship and immigration in India is explored in this dissertation, taking into account the overlapping and contested fields of the Citizenship Act, 1955, and its subsequent amendments, immigration enforcement measures functioning in Assam and the two landmark mass exercises of civic identification--the National Register of Citizens (NRC) and the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of Electoral Rolls. The questions are not just of academic interest. They have direct and significant implications for the status of millions of people, many of them long-time citizens of India and having strong family and cultural ties to the country, whose citizenship has been rendered uncertain, contested or precarious by a body of law that has undergone significant changes since the initial Citizenship Act was enacted.
