Daman, Run By A Modi Aide, Latest To Deal With Trauma Of Forced Eviction

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.

Tribals Fight Illegal Deforestation, Government Inaction In Madhya Pradesh

In Burhanpur district, forest department staff have illegally demolished homes of Adivasis built on forest land, without serving notices, branding the structures as encroachments. The Adivasis, on the other hand, say forest department officials are protecting tree mafias who are alleged to be colluding with the local administration.

How India's Bulldozers Became a Vehicle of Injustice

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.

Demolitions as state-sanctioned collective punishment

Abandoning the rule of law for ‘bulldozer justice’ is the first step towards an authoritarian society where ensuring a person’s safety, life and liberty will be at the whims and fancies of state officials, writes Gautam Bhatia.

Demolitions As Collective, Illegal Punishment, With Mainly Muslim Properties Destroyed After Riots

Governments run by the Bharatiya Janata Party have demolished properties belonging almost entirely to Muslims after communal riots incited by Hindu extremists in four states over the past several months. Used as political capital, the demolitions are unlawful, denying as they do to citizens a host of rights, including the fundamental right to be heard. In most cases no notice is served, as many laws require and various court judgments have confirmed. (Article from April 2022)
