India's immigration raids send ripples through slums and skyscrapers alike

The article discusses India's recent immigration raids that have sent shockwaves through both slums and affluent neighborhoods. In an upscale suburb, authorities have been rounding up some of the most marginalized residents, accusing them of being illegal immigrants. The crackdown has created a climate of fear and uncertainty, with many residents concerned about their future and their ability to remain in the country. The raids have also highlighted the complex and often contentious issue of immigration in India, where a large population of migrant workers and refugees reside. The article suggests that the immigration raids are not limited to any one socioeconomic group, but are instead affecting people across the spectrum, from those living in slums to those in high-rise apartments. This underscores the widespread impact of the government's immigration policies and the need for a more nuanced and humane approach to addressing the issue.
