It has been nearly six months since 41-year-old Muhammad Fakaruddin Khan was excluded from Assam's National Register of Citizens or NRC with around 19 lakh others. However, Mr Khan and lakhs of others like him have been waiting anxiously for the final list to be notified so that they can then appeal their exclusion to the foreigners' tribunals with certified documents. Mr Khan, a small-time businessman from Hojai district that has one of highest exclusions in the citizenship list, has land records, past voters' lists among other documents to show.
