对选民名单修改的愤怒情绪已经爆发，引发了对纳伦德拉·莫迪印度教民族主义政府的危机。沙希达·法基尔出生于西孟加拉邦的一个小村庄，她一直认为自己的投票权是理所当然的。直到它被突然剥夺。她向官员出示了自己的印度出生证明以及可追溯至1962年的家族土地文件。
Anger at electoral roll changes has boiled over, sparking a crisis for Narendra Modi’s Hindu nationalist government Born into a small village in West Bengal, Shahida Fakir had always taken her vote for granted. That was, until it was suddenly taken away. She presented officials with her Indian birth certificate and family land documents from the village going back to 1962.
她的父母几十年来一直在选民名单上，因此她也出示了相应的证明。但当最终修订后的选民名单在四月公布时，法基尔的名字不在其中。
Both her parents had been on the electoral roll going back decades, so she showed proof of that too. But when the final revised voter list came out in April, Fakir was not on it.
