Asst Prof. DPhil from @MertonCollege @UniofOxford AMU (02-12) বাঙালী from rural Bangla. Writes on citizenship & conflict! RT≠endorsement

This piece I wrote with lot of anger, disappointment and sadness. I hope to visit Jahangirpuri someday soon to meet the relatives of my friends who suffered this injustice.
While trying to identify the perpetrators of the communal rioting on Saturday, Medha Lal used a common dog whistle, conflating Bengali and specifically the Bengali Muslim residents of Jahangirpuri with Bangladeshi citizens. By @adilhossain✍️ Read: https://t.co/EwPpyCYTe6

আপনাদের সরকার কি করছে? পুলিশ নেই? ইকোনমিক অফেন্সেস ইউনিট নেই? নাকি গরিব, অসহায় মানুষের এই ভয়টাকে কাজে লাগিয়ে ভোটে জেতার প্ল্যান করছে?
The picture used in the graphics of Zee 24 Ghanta is that of a slum in New Delhi. Godi Media is constantly spreading fake news that the slums in the sub-urban areas of Kolkata are full of illegal Bangladeshi immigrants.

✍️NEW: For long, Indians made peace with chaos & mediocrity. But after traveling to South Asian nations, they got the first shock of how much others progressed. This awakening from the great Indian delusion is now viral online. I write more on this trend. https://t.co/auAWgRtBae

The real Pappu has always been the Indian upper middle class. At least the ruling party & their pet media apparatus views them as complete idiots, given the lousy propaganda they consistently serve up.
Detailed report on Haryana women voters allegedly with picture of ‘Brazilian model’. When Indian Express met them, their voter ID has their picture NOT that of any model. And they voted ONLY once with it.

Then what’s the excuse ? They want to compete with Dravidian model of development and yet not even bare minimum effort.
Madhya Pradesh has been Congress-mukt for two decades. There is no border, no infiltration, no Mughals, no Nehru, no international conspiracy. From CM to local bodies, everything is under BJP.

My family’s in the top decile of this country from almost every aspect yet every day I'm getting calls from relatives terrified and confused about SIR. If this is how the well off feel, imagine what the rest are going through. It’s a humanitarian disaster waiting to unfold

One after another death in West Bengal. Hindus Muslims everyone. SIR in other states is totally different than in West Bengal. So sad to read about each case.
'Tarak Saha was anxious as he did not possess any old document to establish himself as a genuine voter,' a senior police officer said #WestBengal #SIR #Mushidabad

Everyone in Delhi does cycle , but just not the people you think. Those rows of Hero and Atlas cycles you see? They’re not used by the “urban cycling movement.” They belong to guards, delivery boys, and housekeeping staff ; people who can’t afford ₹60 a day on buses or ₹120 on

Zohran being the son of the person who wrote ‘Good Muslim Bad Muslim’ (a book dedicated to him as well) makes his win as NYC Mayor more special!

The entire state infrastructure and institutional machinery was put into this job to defame the Muslim residents of Seemanchal (Bihar), esp the Bengali speaking Shershahbadia Muslims.
It is official. Zero foreigners found in nepal bordering districts in Bihar @SANJEEVKJHA1 reports on what officials told him even as NDA asks people to vote against ghuspaiths or such infiltrators https://t.co/GesEw2kVPo

One deported, one dead. • Sunali Khatun, a pregnant woman deported despite her parents being on Bengal’s 2002 EC-issued SIR voter list. • Kakoli Sarkar, died by suicide fearing SIR-NRC. BJP’s SIR drive isn’t about revision, it’s about erasure. #SIR

Brilliant story on a Muslim ST candidate in Bihar elections!
In a rare instance, 28-year-old Saif is contesting the Bihar Assembly elections from Manihari in Katihar, a seat reserved for Scheduled Tribes. The only other constituency reserved for the ST community in Bihar is Katoria in Banka. @tnzl_ reports. Read:

20 percent of Muslims (almost 50 lakh) have left West Bengal in a week and crossed border to enter Bangladesh. Opposition leader can happily cite lesser number now after SIR would be completed.
According to BJP Leader Suvendu Adhikari, 20-25% of Muslim Population in WB has fled to Bangladesh in fear of SIR. So, according to his calculation, Muslim population in WB has plummeted to 20%.

Not a single Bangla news channel will highlight this news, such is their level of shamelessness.

They should tell us if they have followed the footsteps of Pakistani General Ayub Khan and banned this Rabindrasangeet “ Amar sonar Bangla Ami tomay bhalobasi” in West Bengal?
Listen to @sajalghoshofc who is a councilor of BJP in Bengal, where he is saying you can't sing #AmarSonarBangla penned by #RabindranathTagore in India ! Does he have the courage to say this for #PMModi who sang this song a few year back. #BJPIsAntiBengali

So question is, if some Matua become D voter after SIR & unable to participate in few elections seasons, so what would be their status in between? Hope the Minister replies. And if they go to work outside as migrant worker, who would ensure their safety from police officers?
Even BJP MPs have started publicly acknowledging that a Large Number of BJP Voters won't be able to Vote in 2026 Elections due to SIR. When the aim is to drive Muslims away, some Matua Namasudras can be sacrificed, I think 😉

A married Hindu woman from Titagarh, North 24 parganas, West Bengal has died by suicide over NRC fear, 4th suicide in Bengal in the last 96 hours. The woman originally from Bangladesh married an Indian in 2010 and was staying in Bengal. https://t.co/O60o5tzURG

Today, they are asking not to sing Bangladesh's National Anthem. Tomorrow, they will ask not to speak in Bangladesh's National Language. BJP is determined to attribute anything & everything of Bengal/Bengali origin to Bangladesh.
@_TheEnigmous But that's national anthem of Bangladesh, right? Why sing it at in Indian party's meeting, that too at a time when Bangladesh officially is publishing map showing whole of Assam as part of Bangladesh? What Assam got to do with that Bangladeshi national anthem no matter who wrote?
