Obligatory remarks!

Ok, tell me what is one issue that is always present in Praful Bidwai's essays, regardless of the topic of discussion?

Hint: Praful Bidwai: A confused NRI policy

At work here are mutually incompatible, notions of inclusion and exclusion. How can we extend citizenship to foreign nationals, but deny elementary civil and political rights to those who we vehemently claim are our citizens -- Kashmiris from the valley, Muslims from Gujarat, and for long years, people from the Northeast?

Bonus points for those who can identify one truly oppressed group of Indian citizens that are living a refugee life in their own country, that Bidwai forgets to mention here.....

Update: Ashwini's thoughts on the subject (I don't think she is really happy about what he said)
