South Asian Journal of Socio-Political StudiesSummary: Within the present citizenship debate, multicultural citizenship is one of the prominent nationalist theories that emerged as a consequence of human migration. Cultural diversity and minority rights have emerged as the rallying point for giving credence to democratic values by enhancing the monolithic version of citizenship and including the vast minorities and cultural groups into the mainstream, which modern citizenship fails to reflect. Multicultural citizenship appeared to be the most promising alternative to accommodate the issues and challenges facing a liberal democratic state due to increasing diversity. Primarily, the study examines how far multicultural citizenship is successful in addressing the immigration crisis in a liberal democratic state. While doing so, it argues that the replacement of universal rights with the rights of a particular group has an adverse consequence in the schematics of multicultural citizenship. The multicultural commitment towards the protection of minority rights has created a huge rift between immigrants and natives in many nations today. The fallout of multiculturalism in this regard has been fully capitalised by the right-wing populist parties in most democratic countries.- Reproduced
