A Pakistan-born Christian man has become the second resident of Goa to gain Indian citizenship under the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). The man expressed immense joy and pride in becoming an Indian citizen, stating, “Happy I’m an Indian now.”
Faith and Resilience: Overcoming the Odds
The individual, whose journey began in Pakistan, had faced challenges tied to his religious identity. The CAA, which provides a pathway to Indian citizenship for persecuted minorities from Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan, enabled him to fulfill his long-standing aspiration to join the Indian community officially.
The Growing Impact of the CAA in Goa
This case marks the second time the CAA has benefited a Goan resident. The first instance, recorded earlier this year, also involved a Christian individual from Pakistan. Local authorities have acknowledged the positive impact of the Act in providing relief to those seeking refuge and a sense of belonging in India.
Gratitude and Aspirations for the Future
Expressing gratitude for his new citizenship, the man shared his hopes for a secure and prosperous life in Goa. He emphasized the sense of freedom and acceptance he now feels, pledging to contribute positively to the local community.
A Policy with Life-Changing Implications
The Citizenship Amendment Act continues to reshape lives by granting a fresh start to individuals fleeing persecution. In Goa, this legislation has become a beacon of hope for those seeking refuge and citizenship in India.
