Final phase of voting in Uttar Pradesh today. Sharing a🧵of my reports. First, a special series we started on #EverydayCommunalism in UP. Detailed ground reports to establish how large-scale riots have been replaced by low-key but sustained acts of communal violence and hate.
How BJP Youth Morcha office bearers used the death of a Hindu woman in Agra as a pretext to attack Muslims and damage their shops

I went back to Kasganj, to revisit how a minor altercation over a Republic Day celebration here turned into a city-wide riot. Local cadre or small players are used as the primary vehicle to dispense this violence, often leaving them reduced to mere pawns.

Remember the 'Covid Jihad' propaganda run by mainstream media? Muslims in UP suffered hugely as a result. From pregnant Muslim women denied hospital entry, to Muslim-run businesses taking a hit as they're viewed with suspicion.
#EverydayCommunalism report
Fauzia, a weaver in Varanasi, was forced to deliver outside BHU hospital, as they wouldn't admit her, accusing her of "bringing Covid". Finally, when the nurse agreed to do her stitches, the taunts continued: "why do you people keep having babies"

Story:

On Ahmad's first day out after lockdown, a group yelled at him: "Miyan, where are you going about spitting and spreading Covid?"

“After that, it became difficult to even stand at a non-Muslim shop worried about the kind of taunts that could come my way"

Today is my last day @ThePrintIndia. I spent 3.5 years here, covering politics, people, society and human rights. From the anti-CAA movement to the Delhi carnage, from multiple state elections to the tragic Covid-19 waves, I learnt essential ground reporting here.
Sharing some of my work here. My first major assignment here was co-leading a flagship project 'My543' in the run up to the 2019 elections— a 360degree analysis of India's 543 electoral constituencies and the work done by its MPs.

I also started a video series called #PoliTicker-- where I gave a summary+analysis of the most interesting political event of the day in under 1 minute.

Reporting from Agra: Amit Jaiswal was an RSS worker followed by PM Modi on twitter. The huge poster of Modi that had adorned the back of his car for many years is now gone. His sister tore it off the day Amit died of Covid after their pleas went unheard. theprint.in/india/rss-work…
"Amit ne poori zindagi PM modi ke liye nikal di. Modi ne uske liye kya kiya? Aise PM sahab ki humein kya zaroorat? Humne poster phaadh ke nikaal diya (Amit spent his entire life fighting for PM Modi. What did Modi do for him? We tore off his poster)"- Amit's family.
"If someone said anything remotely critical of about Modi-Yogi, he would threaten to beat them up"

Just months ago, Amit had also gone to Ayodhya to put free LED posters of 'Ram Janmabhoomi'.

This time last year, 19 people part of the #antiCAA protests were killed in Uttar Pradesh. I'd travelled to various districts of the state which saw heightened violence, police brutality, and mass arrests. Here are some stories that tell the horror. Never forget.

Thread. 1/n
20-year-old UPSC aspirant Suleiman was shot dead in Bijnor, along with 21-year-old Anas whose son turned seven months old just a day after he was killed. 2/n

That's Anas' father, Arshad Hussain, standing next to the spot where his son was killed. The bloodstains were still fresh. 3/n
