The Assam Accord (1985) aimed to address illegal immigration, safeguarding Assamese cultural identity. It mandated detecting foreigners who entered the state after a certain cutoff date, leading to the National Register of Citizens (NRC) update. The Supreme Court monitored the exercise, verifying residents’ citizenship documents. While it attempts to identify undocumented migrants, controversies arose over arbitrary exclusions, limited documentation in rural communities, and humanitarian concerns. Political debates revolve around balancing national security with human rights. The constitutional dimension involves defining citizenship and the center-state dynamic on migration policy. The NRC exemplifies how national integration and local identity can clash in sensitive border regions.
