SIR is part of larger ploy to disturb ‘basic structure’ of Constitution: Linguist Ganesh Devy
Linguist G.N. Devy alleged that the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) process, which aims to revise the citizenship question in India, is part of a larger plan by non-state actors like the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) to disrupt the Constitution and introduce a new framework. Devy claimed that this effort includes manipulating census data, altering minority rights, and preparing historical narratives through the Bharat Bhasha Samiti to influence public understanding of culture and history. He also expressed concern about the potential impact on representation in Parliament for southern states and the possibility of using the SIR process to achieve "One Nation, One Election".
