Nearly two million people have been excluded from a list of citizens in India's northeastern Assam state, raising fears they could be rendered stateless. The list, known as the National Register of Citizens (NRC), was published on Saturday after a years-long exercise aimed at identifying legal residents in the impoverished border state. A total of 31.1 million people were included in the final list, leaving out 1.9 million people, according to a statement from the Assam government. The NRC is unique to Assam and was first prepared in 1951. Work on the latest list began in 2015 and was overseen by India's Supreme Court.
