Appointed by the union government, the administrator of the union territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu, Praful Patel, ordered two demolition drives over in Daman in 2023 to remove houses deemed to be ‘illegal encroachments’ on government land, latest in a spate of demolitions in BJP-run or controlled state and union territories. Some said they had lived there for generations and paid taxes for decades. Some homes were built under the PM’s flagship housing programme. Officials said most were ‘immigrants’ living in rented homes.

How slums in Delhi were flattened before the G20 summit
When residents of a slum cluster in New Delhi's Janta Camp area heard that the G20 Summit was to be held in the Indian capital, barely 500 metres from their homes, they expected it would benefit them as well. Instead, they were rendered homeless.

In many BJP-governed states, especially in northern India, demolition drives have not only become a common tactic to quash Muslim dissent, but bulldozers have evolved as a Hindu-nationalist symbol. They feature during election victories, in parade floats in both India and abroad, on packets of chips, and in several Hindu nationalist anthems.

Rage, Riots & State-Led Retribution: Reconstructing Haryana’s Week Of Violence
After six people in a religious procession—infiltrated by Hindu extremists wielding swords and firing guns—were killed in an attack by Muslims, four Muslims died in retaliation. As rioting reached Delhi’s doorstep, hundreds of Muslims fled or stayed away from work. Then, the State stepped in, detaining nearly 150 Muslims, including minors, and demolishing Muslim properties. Article14 visited a terrorised village emptied of Muslim men, while Islamophobic rallies continued unhindered, and the cow vigilantes who incited the armed mob stayed free, one facing charges of killing Muslims.
