India Grants Citizenship to 195 Pakistani Migrants
India gave citizenship certificates to 195 people who came from Pakistan.
These people are from Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, and Jain communities.
They came to India as refugees.
Out of these, 122 people got citizenship under a new law called the Citizenship (Amendment) Act.
The rest, 73 people, got their certificates because they applied for them.
A big official in Gujarat thanked the Prime Minister and another important leader for making this law.
This law helps people who came to India from other countries to get citizenship more easily.
The official said that it's rare to see so many people getting citizenship at once in other states.
He also mentioned that these people have been contributing to the development of the country after facing a lot of hardships in their home countries.

122 of these migrants benefited from the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA).
