I spent a day in western Uttar Pradesh in a qasba where Muslims say they did not even come out to protest against the Citizenship Act – and yet they faced lathis and bullets.

Watch the women chillingly describe the police raids on their homes.

Two young Muslim men were killed in Nehtaur town.

One of them spent all his time preparing for the Civil Services Exam, his family said.

They showed me his room full of books and guides.

Here are some images from the homes of Muslim men arrested by the police.

Their families have questioned why the police felt the need to smash all their belongings – even a toilet pan – and one family accuses the police of stealing their money.

This is what a Jamia student told us over the phone:

"Girls have been shot at, girls are stuck inside hostels, the police has turned off the lights."

"A friend called me from J&K girls hostel and she said someone was asking for a dupatta because a girl had been shot."
"They were trying to take her to the hospital, but they are trapped, they can’t take her."
My colleague @sruthisagar who is outside the campus can hear continuous sounds of tear gas shelling and loud screams emerging from inside.

I really don’t get Amit Shah’s point. Because Pakistan and Bangladesh have treated their religious minorities badly, does India have to equalise things by replicating religious discrimination?
This dubious logic will of course make complete sense of those who want India to become a Hindu rashtra.
“Those feeling persecution are refugees, not infiltrators,” says Amit Shah.

What do you think Rohingyas are fleeing or Tamils from Sri Lanka?

#JNU The street lights were off on the main road outside the main gate. A few of us reached around 9 responding to a call to demand protection for the students inside. We spotted a couple of masked guys with lathis at Ber Sarai on our way. Thread: happenings outside JNU till now.
The JNU main gate was surrounded by right-wing goons. They were very angry, baying for blood. They chased us down the road, into gallis and threatened to run behind one of our friends and beat him up.
There were cops, who did absolutely nothing. The goons had free reign to do what they wanted. We hid in a dhaba. We came back our of the galis around 10 and slowly reached the main gate. We saw yogendra yadav getting roughed up. A journalist was beaten. Cops did nothing.
