Housing Apartheid Reaches Rajasthan: Landlord’s Home Bulldozed After Tenant’s Son’s Mistake Is Given a Communal Color https://enewsroom.in/bulldozer-justice-in-rajasthan-udaipur-school-children-stabbing/
In Udaipur, tragic school stabbing sparks riots, arson and controversial demolition of innocent landlord's home
There’s a legal process for everything. It would have been better if due procedure was followed. “This is a dictatorship. Instead of investigating the issue, they saw the person was Muslim and demolished his home. The house didn’t even belong to the accused or his father. Even if it was encroachment, proper procedures should have been followed. Punitive demolitions, whether by any state government, are unlawful in India. Holding a father accountable for his son’s crime is against the law. The administration violated legal norms, which is why they’re avoiding questions,”
Hate crimes against religious minorities have increased in number and intensity in the past year and the violence is directed at Muslims, Dalits, Adivasis, and Christians amongst other minorities in ways that are systematic, vengeful, and going nowhere, a report by the Association for Protection of Civil Rights has found. https://www.thewire.in/communalism/apcr-report-communalism-anti-minority-hate-crimes-modi-third-government-first-year
The report is titled ‘Hate Crime Report: Mapping First Year of Modi’s Third Government’. It comes at the end of a year of systematic research on communal violence and inflammatory speech targeting religious minorities in India.
The Association for Protection of Civil Rights or APCR is a non-profit civil rights organisation established in 2006.
The group points out that despite the rising intensity and frequency of targeted attacks on religious minorities, there remains “no systematic or institutional effort to record or document hate crimes.”

On June 14, All India Lawyer’s Association for Justice (AILAJ), a progressive lawyer’s organisation, issued a statement demanding an in-house inquiry against Allahabad high court judge, Justice Shekhar Kumar Yadav for Islamophobic statements made in December 2024 at an event of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), a Hindu right-wing organisation. In the statement issued by the AILAJ National Committee, the organisation stated, “Bigotry is the antithesis of fraternity, and the judiciary must not tolerate it within its ranks”.

The demand comes in response to Justice Yadav’s speech made during a lecture on the “Constitutional Necessity of Uniform Civil Code” on December 8, 2024 in Prayagraj, organised by VHP. The speech markedly adopted a language that many characterised as a ‘hate speech’ against Indian Muslims.
