I've been following the news from Uttarakhand. What allegedly started as a local campaign against a “Love Jihad" case in Purola is now a protest to evict minorities.
Hindutva leaders (Haridwar Dharam Sansad ones) have given the slogan, “Jih@di bhagao, Devbhoomi bachao.”
TOI report on the seriousness of the situation. ImageImage
Should the police not act equally swiftly against those who want to evict minorities?

Fifty-four-year old Zakir Hussain’s life suddenly turned upside down when he learnt that his son Salim had been abducted by masked assailants from his residence in Abu Dhabi four years ago, on July 21, 2019.
@DrSJaishankar Image
The next six months marked the beginning of the most testing pursuit of Hussain’s life.

Fast forward four years, all he knows is that Salim is in a UAE prison. What are the accusations? He doesn’t know. Image
For over three decades, Hussain has worked as a driver at the office of the British High Commissioner in New Delhi. He told TheWire that when he moved to Delhi from Hyderabad, the sole aim of his life was to toil hard enough to provide the best education to his children.

हल्द्वानी पर कई लीगल एक्सपर्ट्स ने काफ़ी अच्छे अंग्रेज़ी लेख लिखे हैं। उनकी ही कुछ बातों को
हिंदी में लिख रहा हूं क्योंकि हिंदी के पाठक तक वो सब बातें शायद नहीं पहुंचेंगी।
हल्द्वानी की गफूर बस्ती को उजाड़ने पर कई दलीले दी जा रही हैं। जो इसके पक्ष में हैं वो मुख्यधारा के मीडिया पर दी जा रही लैंड जिहाद जैसी ओछी राजनीतिक दलील को ही सही मानेंगे।

बाक़ी लोग पढ़ना जारी रखें।
एक सरसरी रीडिंग पर भी कोर्ट का यह ऑर्डर काफ़ी संकुचित दिखता है। इसमें हज़ारों गरीबों से किसी प्रकार की हमदर्दी नहीं झलकती हैं। मसलन लोगों को केवल “इंक्रोचर” और कुछ जगहों पर “वोट बैंक” की तरह संबोधित किया जाना भोंडा और क्रूर है। यह शब्दावली किस विचारधारा की उपज है, आप जानते हैं।

Compare Shahrukh's statement on religious intolerance from 2015 to his recent statement. There is consistency in what he's saying. However, he's more careful with his words right now.
There is a reason for that.

Thread
Some progressive commentators who have pointed out that Shahrukh's silence has enabled hate must acknowledge that when SRK said what he prophetically said in 2015, they were still in awe of Mr Modi. In fact they even criticised people for not giving him enough time.

You won't find any old tweets of SRK (or any influential progressive Muslim celeb) from 2012 or 13 cheering the BJP. There is enough stuff for introspection here. It's easy to delete old views but you can't undo how this optimism has influenced the course of politics in India.

Remember the Nandgram Gangrape case?

#Thread ImageImageImageImage
SIT investigated the case and found out that when it's a fake case. AS PER THE POLICE, the real cause of dispute is a property worth more than ₹ 50 lakhs.

A detailed statement by the police has punctured the whole bogey of #LoveJihad in this case Image
