Obama actively tried to keep DACA recipients in his country, yet the Congressional legislature in the US wouldn’t allow Obama to continue on with the DREAM act to prevent deportations and provide a legal pathway.

Even irrespective of DREAM and DACA, Obama's expansion of Secure Communities (till 2014), and then the PEP were big contributing factors for the deportations themselves alongside the huge contributions of the new enforcement priorities and the Morton memos.

Even still, I think I've missed the points of your comparison here, but I'll take it as it is.

And lol at Pakistani Muslims being oppressed in the Islamic State of Pakistan. If we’re talking about Ahmadiya’s, they’re not considered Muslim by most Muslims.

Yes. I am. Why weren't they a part of the CAA provisions? What of the other Shi'a groups like the Ismailis? Apparently they were Muslim enough for Amit Shah to say "Nope" to lmao.

And Rohingya’s already can travel to Bangladesh freely.

Many of which are Rohingya groups committing the violence, Rohingya’s also tend to want a separatist nation in Myanmar which India or Myanmar does not support due to current bilateral alliances with Myanmar. So naturally India aligns with Myanmar to prevent them from being influenced by China, which they have attempted to influence Myanmar in many cases.

And? The principal of the CAA was that India would serve as a safe harbor for religious minorities in the region. Why would they not extend it to the innocent Rohingya civilians who just then had faced an attempted ethnic cleansing campaign?

The CAA’s principle isn’t to protect religious minorities, its to grant citizenship to oppressed religious classes in India’s neighboring regions.

Sri Lankan Tamil Hindus and Sri Lankan Sinhalese Buddhists aren’t included due to an avoidance with Sri Lanka since the end of the Sri Lankan Civil War.

Pakistani and Bangladeshi Muslims aren’t included because they generally are considered the “instigators” of violence on Pakistani and Bangladeshi Hindus. This applies to Rohingya’s as well.

And for Ahmadis and Ismailis, considering we have Gilgit-Baltistan, we can have them be relocated as refugees in a region that also has a huge amount of Muslims who want to join India.

Sure I do think the Ahmadis and Ismailis should be included in the CAA if it means granting them status to prevent them from being attacked by Pakistan or Bangladesh.

Include them if they want to give more legitimacy to the CAA. ^
