• Émeutes du Gujarat en Inde : blocage d’un documentaire de la BBC sur le rôle du Premier ministre Modi
  23 février, par siawi3

  Pour rappel, les États-Unis ont refusé à Narendra Modi un visa pendant 10 ans suite à ces pogroms, au nom de « graves atteintes à la liberté religieuse ». Depuis son élection à la tête de l’État en 2014, cet épisode est devenu tabou en Inde.

• India: Release of culprits in the Bilkis rape case exposes the misogyny of the VHP-RSS & BJP
  26 August 2022, by siawi3

  Bilkis Bano is the victim of the RSS and the Modi government’s (when it happened, Narendra Modi was the Chief Minister of Gujarat) efforts to alienate Muslims from the mainstream of Indian society and push them to the periphery. The many lynching cases that have taken place since 2002 are testimony to the machination of the RSS and BJP to supress Muslims in India. Can we expect some relief for Bilkis Bano and the witnesses who testified against the accused and are today terrorised by the prospect of all 11 accused with evident links to the ruling BJP in Gujarat roaming around freely, specially after the rousing reception they received from their supporters, soon as they walked out of the jail together---hugs and sweets as if they were incarcerated for upholding some just cause.

• Israel’s identity crisis
  16 April 2021, by siawi3

  To coincide with Israel’s 73^rd independence day, some surprising new data on the country’s demographics has emerged. According to the Central Bureau of Statistics, Israel’s Jewish population has dropped below 74% for the first time since its founding is significant in 1948. As of this year, Israel’s population stands at 9.3 million, but only 6,870,000 of those citizens are Jews, compared to 1,956,000 Arabs and 456,000 other.

• India: “See to it that the fabric isn’t ruptured”
  24 August 2021, by siawi3

  Last week-end several Hindutva communal brigades and their promoters and organizers reached right up to that significant central spot of this capital city and rendered anti-Muslim hate filled slogans and speeches. In fact, this was a repeat of what took place a week back at Delhi’s Dwarka local. Mind you, a Muslim’s anger is not against the Hindu but against the fascist communal forces. I would go to the extent to say that whatever little chance of survival holds out for the Indian Muslim community is because of the liberal and progressive Hindus and Sikhs and Christians and Atheists and Parsis, who refuse to be part of the Hindutva brigades.

• India: The harships of inter-religious marriages
  29 October 2019, by siawi3

  People’s Union of Civil Liberties (PUCL) has strongly condemned the efforts by communal groups to communalize interreligious marriages as ‘love jihad’ while pledging support to unions between two consenting adults irrespective of their class, caste, race, religion, nationality or sexuality.

• Gujarat riots: India’s SC to hear petition on reversal of convicts’ release in Bilkis Bano gang-rape case
  26 August 2022, by siawi3

  The violence in Gujarat in 2002 was one of India’s worst religious riots and more than 1,000 people died, most of them Muslims. During the riots, the 11 men, all Hindu, gang-raped a pregnant Bano and her three-year-old daughter was among those 14 killed by a mob. Bano’s husband, Bilkis Yakoob Rasool, earlier said the courts and the government did not tell them the convicted men would be released and that it had shaken his faith in justice.
