“Glad that the #CAB2019 has been passed in the #Rajyasabha.

This tweet was made by the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi. In relation to this tweet, the man in-charge of the BJP’s national information and technology, Amit Malviya retweeted it. This is a great example of the social media activity that Prime Minister Modi has that can be compared to the article that we read about his journey to obtaining the Prime Minister position. In essence, he was one of the first big politicians to utilize social media as a tool to help spread his name and what he stands for so that he could connect with his voters and the people of India. To contextualize this tweet, the Prime Minister was sharing a recent law that just passed in India that made it easier for people to obtain an Indian citizenship. The reason that this tweet is so important is because of all of the refugees that are still fleeing Myanmar by the thousands. By passing this legislature, it helps for India to provide an easy transition for Myanmars that have fled the genocide in their home country and hope to find a more welcoming home. After understanding more about the Myanmar refugee situation, it is interesting to see India so accepting of migrants. Within other countries in Southeast Asia, it is almost obvious that they do not want the refugees because of the possible terrorist activity that may come with the insurgent groups within the larger migrating group. An example of this is Bangladesh and how they seem to be mistreating the refugees by turning off their wifi and supplying poor living conditions within the camp. I wonder as more refugees enter India, if there will be an increase in terrorist related activity. By retweeting the tweet posted by Modi, Malviya helps to bring even more awareness to the topic and this may result in even more countries helping in the same way that India is. It will be interesting to see where this goes but for now it is good that many of these refugees seem to be finding a place that is finally welcoming them.
