In the nearby eastern Indian state of Assam, Modi's right-wing government separately launched an anti-Muslim disenfranchisement campaign and stripped citizenship rights from nearly four million predominantly Muslim residents with a blatantly discriminatory law called the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) in the summer of 2018.

QUESTION: Was the CAA passed in 2019 rather than 2018? Worth verifying the date and scope of implementation.

XREF: Connects to broader literature on citizenship laws, religious discrimination, and populist disenfranchisement campaigns worldwide.
