"मियाँ मुल्ला रहित मोहल्ला": Following the Dhing rape case, 30 organizations in upper Assam demand Miya Muslims to leave within 7 days, labeling them a threat involved in crimes like rape and robbery; Congress MLA contests this sweeping accusation

In the wake of the appalling sexual assault on a minor girl in Dhing, Assam, a deep-seated unrest has taken root in the region.

This specific incident has markedly intensified the communal tensions, leading to severe backlash against the Miya Muslims.

"सरकार उनकी है तो क्या": In a startling revelation to the Supreme Court, the West Bengal govt admitted some Muslim castes were added to OBC list in less than 24 hours, while others included even before applying, exposing significant procedural breaches

In a recent development that has sparked significant controversy, the West Bengal government is facing intense scrutiny. The state administration under Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has been accused of improperly integrating the Muslim community into the Other Backward Class (OBC) quota. This move, allegedly done without thorough vetting, seems tailored to secure the minority vote bank for her party, the All Indian Trinamool Congress (AITC). This policy is not entirely new, as it appears to be a continuation—and an expansion—of the practices formerly enacted by the previous Communist Party of India (Marxist) regime. Currently, criticism is mounting against the AITC for hastily categorizing 77 castes, predominantly Muslim, under the OBC umbrella.
