Demolition (In) Justice: Punishing Muslims, the 'Other' ?

This video delves into the alarming rise of bulldozer demolitions across India, specifically targeting Muslim communities under the guise of "illegal structures" and criminal accusations. Beginning with the case of Javed Muhammed in Prayagraj in June 2022, we explore how his house, along with many others in Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, and beyond, was razed following communal unrest sparked by derogatory remarks against Prophet Muhammad. Between April and June 2022, Amnesty International reported the demolition of 128 properties, predominantly Muslim-owned, in Northern India. These state-driven acts have continued, from Nuh in Haryana (2023) to Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan (2024), with homes, shops, and even mosques being destroyed under questionable pretexts. We also trace the historical roots of such practices, examining the Babri Masjid demolition (1992) and linking these actions to broader global patterns, including Israel's demolition of Palestinian homes. The video highlights the systemic strategy of inciting communal violence, profiling Muslims, and using bulldozers as a tool for populist, anti-minority narratives. Through detailed analysis, we expose the weaponization of demolitions as a form of collective punishment, eroding housing rights, livelihoods, and dignity, while fostering fear and silencing opposition. 00:00 - Intro 04:41 - Filter 1: Chain of Demolitions in the Country 08:44 - Filter 2 : The Idea of Demolition: Concept, History and Practice 16:30 - Filter 3: Staging of Demolitions 18:38 - Filter 4: The Populism of Bulldozer 20:40 - Filter 5: The Aim Behind Demolitions 25:10 - Filter 6: Legal Measures #DemolitionInjustice #BulldozerRaj #BulldozerJustice #bulldozerbaba #TargetedDemolitions #HumanRights #MinorityRights #MuslimDiscrimination #BulldozerPolitics #AmnestyInternational #IsraelPalestine #CommunalViolence #ReligiousFreedom #HousingRights ​​ #MuslimActivist #Nuh #Khargone #Jahangirpuri #demolition #YogiAdityanath
