Monu Manesar represents the rise of a militant Hindutva during the Modi decade

The rise of Manesar brings into focus a new facet to Hindutva mobilisation in India. State support for communal violence is not new to India. Despite this history, the open state support for a man accused of such gruesome crimes is still a fairly new phenomenon. Shoaib Daniyal writes.

The Shattering of the Muslim Hope in India

"I see and remember the face of Faizan’s mother. I see and remember the horror and the plea for mercy in the eyes of Qutbuddin Ansari from 2002; the tears in the eyes of the lady in Karnataka, who was forced to take off her burqa to enter the school where she had been teaching for years; the faces of the Muslims who have spent their entire youth in prison because of wrongful incarceration; and the pain in the eyes of fellow Muslims, every time I see them raise their hands in supplication." Salik Ahmad writes. (Article from March 2022)

2022: A year when Bulldozer became a ‘lawful’ means of punishment

Spearheaded by UP. Other BJP ruled states followed the footsteps.

The ideology behind demolishing homes of miscreants is ‘an eye for an eye’ but bulldozer injustice is leagues ahead since at the receiving end are people from marginalised communities and they stand to lose their homes over political vendetta. While these demolitions are posed as lawful demolitions of encroachments on government land or illegal constructions, the timing and targets of these demolitions have a different story to tell.

Behind BJP's Attempts to 'Distort' Sikh History, the Agenda Is Fuelling Anti-Muslim Hate

The fact that demands from Sikh bodies to mark 'Veer Bal Diwas' as 'Sahibzade Martyrdom Day' were ignored reflects the BJP-RSS's open disdain towards Sikh tradition.

What #IndianMuslims are witnessing is ethnic cleansing. Today they witnessed systematic destruction of not just their homes, but also businesses and religious places. This despite the SC stay order.
