“There was a national *solidarity* that existed after #911… But the political leadership of the United States ensured that, instead of solidarity, there would be bloodlust. They explained 9/11 as the product of a violent pathology, afflicting not the American leaders eager to wage war, but everyone who looked like, or worshipped like, or came from the same cultures as these children.”

Courts Remain Silent Spectators As Minorities Remain In Fear Amidst Rise Of Illiberal, Communal Forces: Justice (Retired) AP Shah

Justice (Retired) AP Shah recently expressed concerns over the rise of ‘illiberal and communal’ forces in the country, fuelled by extremist ideologies, and the attendant culture of hate, polarisation, and vilification of minorities, particularly Muslims, taking root across the nation. He also raised apprehensions about the weakening of formal institutions like the courts in India as well as the erosion of public trust in them.

So #XiJinping went on a visit to #Xinjiang. And guess what? He called for even more #repression and #surveillance against #muslims aka #Uyghurs. He just happens to call it "control illegal religious activities".
Not that #China has been sanctioned for a #cutluralgenocide in Xinjiang or anything, right?
Shameless. And yeah: the only legal god in China is Baba Xi himself.

After Abuse Of Muslim Student In UP School, An Unrepentant Teacher & An Anxious, Fearful Father, Steadfast In Desire For Justice

A day after a video of a Hindu teacher instructing students to hit their Muslim classmate went viral, Article14 visited the village of the student and the teacher in the Uttar Pradesh district of Muzaffarnagar, where the dominant Hindu community insisted there was nothing wrong. Politicians made a beeline for the Muslim student’s house. A journalist tutored the boy’s father about what to say. As the unequal power dynamic between the victim and perpetrator became apparent, members of the Tyagi caste attempted to dilute the heinous nature of the attack on a child. Yet, the father told us he wanted legal action against the teacher.
