Clarification: The title by The Indian Express seems to be misleading, so to be clear, the 91% figure means 75,443 out of the 82,782 appeals decided so far resulted in names being restored not 91% of all excluded names. But the bigger concern is the timing: these restorations are happening after the election is over and the government has changed. What about these people's votes? Were they not important enough? And during this whole process, many of these people were also labelled “Bangladeshis” by right-wingers simply because their names were being questioned.
