The Bharatiya Citizenship Act put forward by Vijay did not cause any waves among the people of this society because the bill had nothing to do with them; they were already citizens of the nation, after all. The European merchants visiting the empire for trade had some frequent discussions among themselves about the bill, but no one actually considered immigrating to Bharat. People like John Brown, who ignored traditional differences and were brave enough to travel from England alone to a foreign country, were rare. Hence, even though the merchants read the Bharatiya Citizenship Bill, they were not particularly interested. If they ever needed to emigrate somewhere, they would choose the Americas, since the people there were more similar to them.
Maybe the only person who was excited about the bill was John Brown. He was still worried he might have to pay the 30% extra for the ships he had ordered, but thankfully, this did not seem to be the case.
