Assam Evictions: A Brutal Attack on Muslim Families

In Assam, 1,080 Muslim homes have been mercilessly bulldozed by Indian authorities, a cruel and deliberate act of dispossession. This act of violence, under the guise of eviction drives, targets vulnerable families, mostly of Bengali origin. These homes are not just buildings; they are the very homes and identities of those displaced.

On June 16, the authorities demolished 690 houses in Hasilabeel, near Goalpara, marking the second wave of these ruthless evictions. The destruction continues with five major eviction drives, leaving nearly 3,500 families homeless in just one month. The question looms: who is next?

Mizanur Rahman’s Heartbreaking Reality

Mizanur Rahman, a 28-year-old from Bidyapara, lost everything. “All three of our houses, including the pucca house, were razed today… we don’t have land anywhere else,” Rahman said, speaking for thousands who have nowhere to go. His family of eight is now destitute, with no place to turn. His pain echoes that of an entire community left with nothing but rubble.

A Pattern of Systematic Persecution

This is not an isolated incident; it is part of a broader ethnic cleansing strategy to erase the presence of Muslims in Assam. These evictions are calculated moves to dispossess people who have lived here for generations. India’s state-sponsored agenda seeks to undermine the very existence of its Muslim citizens. Bulldozers aren’t just tearing down homes; they are bulldozing the history, heritage, and rights of the people.

The Silent Suffering of Assam’s Muslims

For years, Assam’s Muslims have faced systemic discrimination and marginalization. But this level of brutality is unprecedented. These evictions are a direct attack on their right to live with dignity and peace. Houses are razed, families displaced, and futures destroyed, all while the world remains silent.

India’s Hypocrisy Exposed

The international silence is deafening. As Indian bulldozers wreak havoc on Muslim communities, the global community stands by, indifferent. India’s narrative of democracy and peace is a sham. These discriminatory policies are a direct violation of human rights.

A Call for Justice and Accountability

The world cannot allow this atrocity to continue. Mizanur Rahman and the thousands of families like him deserve more than just sympathy; they demand justice. The time for silence is over. India’s actions in Assam are a stain on humanity, and the international community must act before it is too late.

In this battle for dignity, humanity, and justice, the world must raise its voice against India’s brutal eviction drives. The world cannot afford to stay silent any longer. Assam’s Muslims deserve the freedom to live, and it is time for the world to help them reclaim it.
