The deeply flawed SIR process was already burdening citizens. Now a series of journalistic exposes raise questions on the intent, integrity and functioning of the Election Commission of India. In Conversation with South First’s Editor Anusha Ravi Sood, renowned political economist and commentator Dr Parakala Prabhakar deems the SIR exercise a bloodless political genocide, an attempt to exterminate citizenship. While Anusha insists that SIR is a backdoor attempt at NRC, Dr Parakala Prabhakar adds that the mass disenfranchisement of voters is a planned process towards the idea of “Hindu Rashtra”, one deleted name at a time.
