India has released the final result of a registry process it says aims to root out illegal immigration in the northeastern state of Assam.
The National Register of Citizens is a list of people who can prove they came to the state by 24 March 1971, the day before neighboring Bangladesh declared independence from Pakistan.
Now, nearly two million people are left out of the list and their fate hangs in the balance. New Delhi says these people have failed to submit the documentations required to show their lineage and are therefore regarded as illegal foreigners.
