Voices From Assam: India's Four Million Unwanted

Al Jazeera travels to Assam to speak to those facing an uncertain future and challenge the NRC on its citizenship list.

In the state of Assam, a sliver of India squeezed between Bangladesh and Bhutan, four million people are at risk of becoming stateless.

The local government has put together a draft list of those it considers to be "legitimate” citizens and four million of Assam's 32.9 million people didn’t make the cut.

The National Register of Citizens (NRC) lists those who can prove that they or their parents were in India before March 1971, when Bangladesh became independent from Pakistan.
