An investigation reveals deeply flawed electoral roll revisions (SIR), with BJP workers submitting bulk deletion requests targeting minority voters in Jharkhand. Nationwide, SIR has disenfranchised 13 crore vulnerable voters by shifting the burden of proof, demanding difficult documents, and setting unrealistic deadlines. The author criticizes the Election Commission for designing a process that harasses, rather than cleans, rolls. The Supreme Court is also faulted for abdicating oversight, allowing institutional respect to become abdication. This "citizenship test" must not overshadow the EC and SC’s legacy, risking severe consequences for excluded citizens.
