Long Read: Muslims in Assam are facing horrific circumstances.

(Dear Indian Muslims this is your real worry, so please pay attention.)

I've been reading numerous news sources to get a sense of the dreadful situation for Muslims in Assam.

According to recent reports, the situation for Indian Muslims in Assam, particularly those of Bengali descent, has worsened horribly in the last month.

The BJP government, led by Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, has increased eviction drives targeting alleged encroachments, disproportionately harming Muslim populations.

So let's go over key events and developments from the last month based on available sources:

1. Eviction Drives Targeting Muslim Communities:

A. Scale and Impact:

Over 3,500–4,000 Muslim families, primarily Bengali-origin, have been displaced across districts like Goalpara, Dhubri, Lakhimpur, and Nalbari.

This affects an estimated 20,000–24,000 individuals, with evictions involving the demolition of homes, schools, mosques, and other structures.

For instance, in Goalpara’s Paikan Reserve Forest, approximately 1,080–1,100 families were evicted on July 12, 2025, with 1,400 families displaced in Dhubri from over 450 hectares of land.

B. Conditions Post-Eviction:

Evicted families are living in dire conditions, often in makeshift camps with limited access to food, shelter, or sanitation. In Goalpara, 93 families are reportedly sheltering on a rented three-bigha plot.

Reports highlight a lack of proper rehabilitation, with some families receiving minimal compensation (e.g., ₹50,000 in Dhubri).

C. Resistance and Arrests:

Evictions have sparked protests, with tensions escalating in some areas. In Paikan village, Saminur Ali was arrested for allegedly inciting communal hatred during a protest, though locals claim he was questioning selective targeting of Muslims.

The All Assam Minority Students’ Union organized statewide protests on July 12, condemning the drives as “inhumane.”

D. Political Opposition:

The All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) and Congress have criticized the evictions as discriminatory, alleging violations of Gauhati High Court orders mandating temporary shelter and rehabilitation.

An AIUDF delegation was barred from visiting eviction sites in Goalpara, prompting further protests. Congress MP Rakibul Hussain has promised compensation for evicted Indian citizens if Congress gains power.

2. Forced Deportations to Bangladesh:

A. Pushbacks:

Since May 2025, over 300 Muslims from Assam have reportedly been “pushed back” to Bangladesh, with some sources claiming up to 1,200 individuals were forcibly sent across the border in May alone, including from other states.

These actions, often conducted by the Border Security Force (BSF), have been criticized for lacking due process.

For example, Shona Banu, a 58-year-old from Barpeta, was allegedly forced across the border on May 25 despite having lived in Assam her entire life and having an appeal pending in the Supreme Court.

B. Impact on Families:

Families report missing relatives, with at least 10 individuals unaccounted for after being pushed into no-man’s land. Some, like Bakkar Ali’s father, are reportedly in Bangladesh police custody.

The Bangladesh government has protested these actions diplomatically, noting the lack of legal process.

C. Indigenous Muslim Concerns:

Even Deshi Muslims, recognized as “indigenous” by the state, have been affected, challenging claims that only “illegal immigrants” are targeted.

CONT. 3. Political Rhetoric and Policy Changes:

A. Chief Minister’s Statements:

Himanta Biswa Sarma has framed evictions as necessary to “restore demography” and protect “indigenous” Assamese identity, alleging a “conspiracy” behind Bengali Muslim migration to Hindu or Assamese Muslim areas.

He has also linked evictions to clearing land for corporate projects, prompting accusations of favoring industrial interests, such as those of the Adani Group.

B. Legislative Moves:

The Assam Assembly passed a bill for compulsory registration of Muslim marriages and divorces, sparking protests from opposition parties like AIUDF, who see it as targeting Muslim practices. Sarma’s comments against “Miya” Muslims (a term for Bengali-origin Muslims).

4. Social and Political Backlash:

A. Community Response:

Thousands of Muslims are leaving the BJP in protest against evictions. Others highlight the humanitarian crisis, with families left homeless under plastic tents.

B. Opposition Allegations:

Congress and AIUDF allege that the BJP is targeting Muslims to polarize voters ahead of the 2026 Assembly elections. The Jamaat Ulama Council has called for a halt to “discriminatory” evictions.

C. Arrests for Dissent:

AIUDF MLA Aminul Islam was arrested for allegedly supporting Pakistan after a terror attack in Pahalgam, reflecting a crackdown on dissenting voices.

5. Trigger Event:

The eviction drives gained momentum after a terror attack in Pahalgam, Kashmir, on April 22, 2025, which was linked to Pakistan, reigniting anti-Muslim sentiments.

6. Corporate Interests:

Some reports suggest evictions are linked to clearing land for industrial projects, with accusations that the Adani Group is a beneficiary, though these claims remain unverified. (Adani name always seems to appear in all Sanghi persecutions)

How bad is the situation:

The situation for Indian Muslims in Assam, particularly Bengali-origin Muslims, is highly precarious and can be described as severe due to the following factors:

Humanitarian Crisis:

The displacement of thousands of families, coupled with inadequate rehabilitation, has created a humanitarian crisis.

Evicted families face homelessness, lack of sanitation, and limited access to basic necessities, with some living in makeshift camps or under plastic tents.

The psychological toll is evident, with reports of individuals attempting suicide out of desperation.

Horrifying Erosion of Human Rights:

The forced deportations to Bangladesh, often without due process, and the targeting of even “indigenous” Muslims like the Deshi community suggest a broadening of state actions against Muslims.

The lack of transparency in Foreigners’ Tribunals and the pending NRC reverification exacerbate fears of statelessness.

Political Targeting:

The BJP’s rhetoric, particularly Sarma’s statements about “restoring demography” and targeting “Miya” Muslims, has created a climate of fear and marginalization.

Policies like mandatory marriage registration are perceived as intrusive and discriminatory, further alienating the community.

Social Polarization:

The evictions and deportations, coupled with Sarma’s demographic claims, have deepened communal divides. Narratives framing Muslims as a threat to Assamese identity, is deeply polarizing the social environment.

Legal and Political Resistance:

While opposition parties and civil society groups are challenging the evictions through protests and legal action, their efforts have been met with resistance, including arrests and restrictions on access to eviction sites. This limits avenues for redress.

You should bookmark this post about Narendra Modi's lies and then thank me later.

Please share it with everyone.

So, on a whim, I requested @grok to list out Modi's lies. I started with the top ten and worked my way down to 50. Grok does not even refer to it as an exhaustive list. According to Grok, these are the top 50 lies told by Narendra Modi, the list may possibly extend to hundreds of lies.

Anyway Enjoy: 😜

1. Demonetisation and Black Money (2016)

Claim: Modi stated that the 2016 demonetisation would eradicate black money and terrorism funding.

Criticism: Reports later showed that 99.3% of demonetised currency returned to banks, per the Reserve Bank of India, suggesting little impact on black money. Critics argue the goalposts shifted to "digital economy" promotion when the original aim didn’t pan out.

2. Job Creation (Various Speeches)

Claim: Modi promised 2 crore jobs per year during the 2014 campaign and later claimed significant job growth under his tenure.

Criticism: Data from the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE) showed unemployment rising, with 50 lakh jobs reportedly lost post-demonetisation. Fact-checks dispute his claims of massive job creation, citing official statistics showing stagnation.

3. Congress Wealth Redistribution and Mangalsutras (April 2024)

Claim: During a speech in Rajasthan, Modi said the Congress manifesto planned to survey and seize private wealth, including women’s mangalsutras, to redistribute to Muslims, whom he called "infiltrators" and "those with more children."

Criticism: The Congress manifesto mentions no such policy. It only references redistributing government and surplus land under existing land ceiling laws, not private property or jewelry. This was widely flagged as a divisive falsehood.

4. Muslims and Resource Priority (April 2024)

Claim: Modi claimed a previous Congress government said Muslims have the "first right" to India’s resources.

Criticism: This distorts a 2006 speech by Manmohan Singh, who actually said minorities, Scheduled Castes, and other disadvantaged groups should have priority in development programs—never singling out Muslims for exclusive rights.

5. Aadhaar and Fake Beneficiaries (Various Speeches)

Claim: Modi claimed Aadhaar helped remove crores of fake beneficiaries from welfare schemes.

Criticism: No comprehensive data supports this scale of removal. Studies and government reports suggest duplicates were reduced, but the "crores" figure lacks evidence and is seen as exaggerated.

6. FDI Inflows (Various Claims)

Claim: Modi touted $130 billion in FDI over 2.5 years as a major achievement.

Criticism: Official data from the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade showed lower figures for that period, with critics arguing he inflated numbers by including reinvestments or commitments, not just fresh inflows.

7. No Terror Attacks Under His Watch (2019)

Claim: At a 2019 rally in Bangalore, Modi asked, “Was there even a single terrorist attack when your chowkidar was on duty?” prompting a "No" from the crowd.

Criticism: This ignores attacks like Pulwama (2019), where 40 CRPF personnel died, and other incidents in Kashmir during his tenure. His own government’s data contradicts this.

8. Electoral Bonds Transparency (2024)

Claim: Modi called electoral bonds a transparent system where “anybody could know from where money is coming and where it is going.”

Criticism: The Supreme Court ruled the scheme unconstitutional in 2024, citing opacity. Data revealed only after court orders showed BJP as the biggest beneficiary, contradicting the transparency claim.

9. Omar Abdullah Quote (2020)

Claim: In a Lok Sabha speech, Modi attributed a fabricated statement to Omar Abdullah, saying he’d predicted a massive earthquake after Article 370’s abrogation.

Criticism: Abdullah denied this, and no record exists of such a statement. It’s seen as a deliberate misrepresentation.

CONT. 10. Congress and Article 370 (Various Speeches)

Claim: Modi asked why Congress didn’t implement the Constitution fully in Jammu & Kashmir earlier, implying inaction.

Criticism: This overlooks the 1954 Presidential Order under Nehru, which extended most of the Constitution to J&K, contradicting Modi’s narrative of Congress neglect.

11. INS Viraat as a Personal Taxi (2019)

Claim: During a 2019 rally, Modi alleged that Rajiv Gandhi used the INS Viraat, an Indian Navy aircraft carrier, as a "personal taxi" for a family vacation in 1987.

Criticism: Navy veterans and official records clarified that Rajiv Gandhi’s trip to Lakshadweep was an official visit, with naval personnel and logistics planned accordingly. No evidence supports the "taxi" narrative; it was a misrepresentation of a state function.

12. Doubling Farmers’ Income by 2022 (2016)

Claim: Modi promised to double farmers’ income by 2022, reiterated in multiple speeches.

Criticism: The National Sample Survey Office (NSSO) data showed farm income grew marginally—far from doubling. Adjusted for inflation, real income barely increased, with agricultural distress rising due to costs outpacing earnings.

13. Covid-19 Management Success (2020-2021)

Claim: Modi claimed India’s Covid-19 response was a global success, citing low case counts and effective lockdowns.

Criticism: The second wave in 2021 exposed underreported deaths and a healthcare collapse. Independent estimates (e.g., The Lancet) suggest millions died, far exceeding official figures, contradicting the "success" narrative.

14. No Discussion on NRC (2019)

Claim: Modi said in December 2019 that his government had never discussed a nationwide National Register of Citizens (NRC).

Criticism: This clashed with Home Minister Amit Shah’s parliamentary statements and the President’s address, both referencing a nationwide NRC plan tied to the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).

15. Inheritance Tax and Rajiv Gandhi (2024)

Claim: Modi claimed Rajiv Gandhi abolished the inheritance tax in 1985 to save his family’s wealth, implying Congress wants to reintroduce it.

Criticism: Finance Minister VP Singh’s 1985 budget speech cited administrative inefficiencies, not family wealth, as the reason for scrapping estate duty. No Congress manifesto proposes its return.

16. Gandhi and Cleanliness (2019)

Claim: Modi said Mahatma Gandhi wanted the Congress dissolved after independence and that he (Modi) fulfilled Gandhi’s cleanliness dream with Swachh Bharat.

Criticism: Gandhi’s call to rethink Congress’s role is debated, not a clear dissolution demand. Swachh Bharat’s impact is overstated—sanitation improved, but open defecation persists per ground reports.

17. Rewa Solar Project as Asia’s Largest (2020)

Claim: Modi called the Rewa Solar Project in
Madhya Pradesh "Asia’s largest" upon its launch.

Criticism: At 750 MW, it was dwarfed by projects like China’s 2,200 MW Longyangxia Dam Solar Park. The claim was either ignorance or exaggeration.

18. Rafale Deal Transparency (2019)

Claim: Modi defended the Rafale fighter jet deal as transparent and cost-effective.

Criticism: The Comptroller and Auditor General flagged opacity in pricing, and the Supreme Court dismissed a review petition without fully resolving cost discrepancies compared to the UPA-era negotiations.

19. Nehru and J&K Integration (Various Speeches)

Claim: Modi often says Jawaharlal Nehru blocked full integration of Jammu & Kashmir into India.

Criticism: The 1954 Presidential Order under Nehru applied most of the Constitution to J&K, contradicting Modi’s narrative of negligence.

20. Agnipath Scheme and Jobs (2022)

Claim: Modi touted the Agnipath military recruitment scheme as a job-creation masterstroke for youth.

Criticism: Critics, including opposition leaders and ex-servicemen, argue it reduces long-term employment prospects, with only 25% of recruits retained after four years, clashing with earlier job promises.

So, in Lucknow, following Akbar Nagar, it's time for Pant Nagar (Rahim Nagar) Demolition.

Some might argue that illegal structures should be dismantled (Mostly Sanghis). Others may ask, "Where will these people go?"

While I vehemently agree that people should not be made homeless. I'd want to point out something else.

Because Akbarnagar was a Muslim majority region, simply look at the coverage in Hindi and English newspapers such as Dainik Bhaskar, Jagaran, Hindustan Times, and so on.

They had chosen a specific method to relay the news, referring to the structures and the colony as "Avaidh," implying that it was illegal hence should be demolished.

"Mandir-Masjids" were demolished, demonstrating that just and equitable measures were adopted.

Talking about "Tree planting and riverfront beautification."

However, because Pant Nagar is predominantly Hindu, the reporting takes on a different emotional tone.

Now they're siding with the people. For example, "Rote-Bilakhte parivar", "Panic among residents", "10 hazaar log honge beghar", and so on.

(I'll include screen shots in the thread).

This level of cruel, biased, prejudiced, and malicious manipulation is the hallmark of terrible Sanghi Media in India. The problem is the same, yet the portrayal differs simply because the residents' religions are different.

Even reasonable journalists and commentators rarely discuss the manipulation of exactly the same news like this.

This is how consent is manufactured in India.
This is how you absorb knowledge.
This is India's despicable Jounalism in a Nutshell.
This is why I have little respect for the majority of India's respected voices.

This, especially this needs to change. Because we are not being silent, anymore. Akbar Nagar Coverage:

🧵
I'll keep reminding you that India has only one problem: communalism.

Communalism allows a rapist to get away with rape.
A murderer can get away with murder by hiding behind communalism.
A deeply corrupt person can use communalism to further their corruption. They can get away with giving you no jobs, no medical facilities, no education because your hate needs immediate quenching. They will fan your hate to turn you blind.

You can be tuned into a slave if they control your hate.

🧵
This is not mediaeval times. This is the year 2023.

According to the Archbishop of Imphal, 249 churches in Manipur, India's Secular Democratic Republic, have been burned down.

Not 1, not 2, not 10, not 50, not 100, not 200, but 249 churches.
+++ 1. How can 249 churches burn down without mass planning?
2. In a place where 41% of the population is Christian?
3. Because 249 is such a large number, it requires the participation of thousands of people. It does not appear possible without state support. ++

🧵
Manoj Muntashir and Om Raut are a miniature BJP.

Please allow me to explain:
1. They promised the moon and delivered a pile of sand.
2. They exploited people's communal feelings to gain power.
3. They strike a powerful pose. 4. They attempted to sell hatred by vilifying and demonising Muslims. They did their best to make Ravan appear Muslim.
5. They are conmen who have no actual skill but act as if they do.
6. They are C-level people and D-level artists, but they have fantastic PR.

In Junagadh, Gujarat Police are publicly flogging Muslims.

I simply require clarification.

1. Which section of the IPC permits public flogging?
2. Do these videos ever make it to the Supreme Court of India's judges? I can't believe they don't watch these videos. +++ 3. Who decided these men deserved to be punished? Where is the due process? Have India's courts abandoned their objective?
4. Aren't these cops committing a crime in front of the camera?
5. Why haven't these cops been arrested yet?

On the morning of June 13, Mohammad Ashraf, a 41-year-old trader who has not been able to open his garment shop for over two weeks, because of an intimidating campaign by groups of Hindus to evict Muslims from their homes and trades in this town in Uttarkashi. Muslim families have reportedly fled the town in fear, since May 28, soon after Hindutva groups started taking out processions demanding the town be cleared of Muslims and eviction notices were pasted on shops.

Dear @INCIndia,
Uttarakhand gives you the option. It is now up to you to decide what you stand for.

Do you support an India that is pluralistic, diverse, secular, tolerant, and democratic?

And

Do you oppose a hateful, divisive, and homogeneous India? You may:

1. Organise meetings throughout the state to mobilise your cadre.
2. Talk to the people in the majority who are filled with hatred and try to fix them.
3. Hold road shows across the state with Muslim participation to demonstrate unity in diversity.

"What is happening in Uttarakhand is akin to Nazi Germany."

"No, it is similar to what happened to Kashmiri Pandits."

"Just like what happened to Sikhs in 1984 and Muslims in 2002."

"So you deny Kashmir?"

Nobody denies Kashmiri Pandits. The Sanghis are the worst...+++ Sanghis want the world to accept only their truth while rejecting everything else. Using Kashmiri Pandits as an excuse to commit atrocities and oppression against every minority, Dalit and Adivasi.
Kashmiri Pandits are merely a shield used to justify their sadism and bloodlust.

🧵
What is happening to Muslims in Uttarakhand is no different than what happened to Jews in Nazi Germany.

1. The Muslim traders are given a deadline of 15th June to leave the state.

2. Rampant fear and hate mongering accompanied by Hate Speeches by Right Wing groups. 3. Right-wing organisations, which are scheduled to hold a mahapanchayat on June 15, said they will not allow the Muslims to hold their meeting on June 18.

4. On May 29, the Right Wingers attacked shops and establishments belonging to the Muslims.

Isn't this a humiliation of the entire Dalit community? Why is it still a thing to eat at a Dalit home, why shouldn't it be normal? It shows deeply ingrained casteism.

S Jaishankar should invite Dalits to his house for dinner and use his kitchen and utensils the next time. ++ + Even tweets and news articles like these should be punished severely by the law and classified as discrimination.

Why does it not bother people to read such news? This is both infuriating and perplexing.

🧵
5 Irritating things about Umar Khalid:

1. "Hmm hmm" If he is listening to you, he will say "hmm hmm" at least 20-30 times per minute.
2. He has a habit of standing with one hand on his back, pressing down hard as if trying to straighten his back.
#1000DaysOfInjustice 3. Scholars cite sources in their books; he cites sources in casual conversations. Even if the subject is as stupid as Farts.
4. "However". Even when Umar agrees with you, he always manages to bring the conversation back to "However." (Those who know him understand what I mean.)

1. Manoj Sahni (53), the accused's name, is cleverly missing.

2. Saraswati Vaidya, his 36-year-old live-in partner, was murdered.

3. He dismembered her body with tree cutters in order to destroy evidence.+++ 4. Police discovered three buckets filled with chopped body parts and blood inside the flat's kitchen.

5. The accused boiled her body parts in a pressure cooker before putting them in plastic bags to dispose of them.

Here's a question I'd ask if I were making Kerala Story. If you have an answer, please let me know.

Assuming I'm a recruiter for ISIS. Why would I want to recruit a Hindu girl into ISIS when there are millions of Muslim girls and boys to choose from? Shouldn't Muslims be the ideal candidate for any ISIS recruiter, and in 20 crore India Muslims, they couldn't find not more than 100? And then they thought If indoctrination isn't working on Indian Muslims, why not try it on Hindu girls? Do you see where I'm going with this?

🧵
The Kerala Story will almost certainly be a hit. However, it is not an organic hit, and neither was Kashmir Files. The PM is pushing this propaganda piece.

It will be a success if your marketer is the PM. And this is where Mr @IAmSudhirMishra assessment falls short.+++ While I initially agreed with Sudhir bhai that Liberals don't come to watch films made for them. I realised it was a shallow assessment.

We must recognise that we are up against a well-oiled behemoth known as Sangh Parivar. There are millions of moving parts in this machine.

This is the Jaipur-Delhi National Highway. And because Jaipur is my hometown and I grew up there, I must have performed Eid Namaz on this very road for at least 20 years.

A simple question: Have you ever seen such reporting in the case of a Savarna criminal/Mafia?

Never, is the answer. While we are aware of the Savarna mafia, thousands of them have committed heinous r@pes, murders, and extortions that are worse or equal to these criminals! The issue can be divided into 4 parts.

Let us begin with the first section. Godi media reporters followed Atique's transfer from Gujarat to UP before he was murdered. In national media, jokes about "Kab Gaadi paltegi" were made. People were glued to their televisions.
