GUWAHATI: Backing the Centre’s decision to protect Hindu immigrants through the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA), Assam Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma asked critics of the CAA to view India as a civilisation that started 6,000 years ago.
“Ours is a Hindu civilisation. India didn’t start in 1947 but 6,000 years ago. People who believe India started in 1947 find a difference between Assamese and Hinduism/Indians. Those who believe India started 6,000 years ago don t see that difference. That is the fundamental point of view. We want to fight the upcoming (Assembly) elections on that agenda,” Sarma said at the release of his fourth book titled “Eta Xopunor Pom Khedi” (Chasing a Dream).
