The Indian cabinet has approved funds for a census and a population survey to be held next year despite weeks of protests over a citizenship law that critics say is anti-Muslim.

















Authorities say the ·¹Çø®Ä«±¸¸Å´ëÇà=·¹Çø®Ä«±¸¸Å´ëÇà
updated National Population Register (NPR) will be a comprehensive list of all residents.

However, critics say it will be a list from ÆÄ¶óÁ¡ÆÛ½º¿©ÀÚÁö°©=ÆÄ¶óÁ¡ÆÛ½º¿©ÀÚÁö°©
which "doubtful citizens" will be asked to prove they are Indian.

More than 20 people have died in protests over the citizenship law.

What is the NPR?
Authorities say the aim of the NPR is to ¿©ÀÚ·¹Çø®Ä«½Å¹ß=¿©ÀÚ·¹Çø®Ä«½Å¹ß
create a comprehensive identity database of every "usual resident" of the country.

A "usual resident" is a person ÀÌÅ¿øºÎµ¿»ê
who has lived in an area for at least six months or a person who plans to live in an area for the next six months or more. This means foreigners living in India would be included in the NPR.

After Tuesday's cabinet meeting, minister Prakash Javadekar said the government had allocated 39.4bn rupees ($553m; ¡Ì427m) for the NPR and that it would be updated between April and September 2020.
