Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) does not mention the following country

The correct answer is Bhutan.

Key Points 

•  The Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), enacted by the Indian government in 2019, does not mention Bhutan.
• The CAA amends the Citizenship Act of 1955 to grant a swifter path to Indian citizenship under certain conditions for Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Parsi, and Christian migrants from Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan.
• It essentially allows these groups who came to India on or before December 31, 2014, due to factors like religious persecution, to become Indian citizens.
• Bhutan, however, is not mentioned in CAA.
• The Act does not address minority groups from Bhutan such as Hindus, Buddhists, Kirats, etc. or any other groups who may want to seek Indian citizenship.
• Therefore, despite having religious persecution or strife in Bhutan, migrants originating from this country do not receive the same fast-tracked path to Indian citizenship as specified groups from Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan.
• The omission of Bhutan (and several other neighboring countries) has drawn criticism from various parties and has been a subject of debate.
• Critics argue that the Act is discriminatory as it selects illegal migrants on the basis of religion and specific countries of origin.
• It should be noted that the CAA, along with the proposed National Register of Citizens (NRC), has been widely debated and has led to widespread protests in India and internationally due to concerns of undermining India's traditional secularism and concerns about discrimination against Muslims.
