CAA has drawn different opinions from the common folks to influential Indians. Two comments are making news now- Satya Nadella, CEO, Microsoft and Nobel Laureate Amartya Sen have each given their views about CAA.
While in an interview with Buzzfeed News, Nadella said “ I think what is happening is sad… It’s just bad…. I would love to see a Bangladeshi immigrant who comes to India and creates the next unicorn in India or becomes the next CEO of Infosys”. He said this to Buzzfeed News’ editor-in-chief Ben Smith.
Satya Nadella also tweeted “Every country will and should define its Borders, protect national security and set immigration policy accordingly. And in democracies, that is something that the people and their governments will debate and define within those bounds. I’m shaped by my Indian heritage, growing up in a multicultural India and my immigrant experience in the United States. My hope is for an India where an immigrant can aspire to found a prosperous start-up or lead a multinational corporation benefitting Indian society and the economy at large.”
Amartya Sen said “ Unity makes protest easier. If there is no unity, protests won’t work. For protest to take place, unity is necessary. But I don’t believe that people should stop protesting due to lack of unity. That is not desirable. Unity is important if protest is for a proper cause. But if unity is not there, it doesn’t mean that we will stop protesting.
