TheIndiaForum - The Shattering of the Muslim Hope in India

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)

Where do currently marginalised people fit into these utopian dreams?

We don’t 🙄

India’s National Human Rights Commission At Risk Of Losing Top-Level Ranking For Second Time Since 1999 — Article 14

India’s National Human Rights Commission At Risk Of Losing Top-Level Ranking For Second Time Since 1999

Lack of diversity in staff and leadership. Political interference in appointments. Involvement of police officers in investigations of human rights violations. Lack of cooperation with civil society. Insufficient action to protect marginalised groups. These are the reasons cited by a global alliance of human rights organisations in deferring, for the second time in nearly a quarter century, the accreditation of India’s National Human Rights Commission, for its highest rating.

In the name of the people

Fortune-tellers, snake-charmers, traditional healers, tightrope-walkers and others are just some of the hundreds of distinct communities that continue to be wrongly listed in the census. This injustice has robbed them of their identity and denies them access to state privileges due to marginalised groups.
