  • Mau Violence
    An Exclusive Citizens Report MAU RIOTS: A REPORT Introduction: There is a lot of confusion in the media and at socio-political levels about the communal tension and widespread violence that began in Mau on October 13-14, 2005. Consequently, “Saajhi Duniya” considered it necessary to visit Mau and acquaint itself with the real situation. The first team from Saajhi Duniya visited Mau on October 20, when the city was under total curfew. Again on October 30 and 31, representatives of Saajhi Duniya went to Mau. This team comprised Prof. Roop Rekha Verma (social activist and secretary, Saajhi Duniya), Mr Vibhuti Narain Rai (president, Saajhi Duniya, litterateur and activist on issues related to communalism) and Mr Nasiruddin Haider Khan (journalist). Mr Jai Parkash Dhumketu (litterateur and activist) from Mau also joined the group. This team not only visited the riot-affected areas in Mau but also inquired into the causes of the violence. The team spoke to victims of the violence, social and political workers, the general public and officers of the district administration. The following report is the outcome of our efforts, over three days, to understand the recent riots in Mau. Mau (also called Maunath Bhanjan) has always been a communally sensitive district. Previously a part of Azamgarh, Maunath Bhanjan witnessed periodic bouts of communal violence every few years. The population of Mau is 18,53,997 with an urban population of 3,60,369 and a rural population of 14,93,628. Within this population, around 80.5 per cent are Hindus, out of which 90 per cent of the population is rural and approximately 10 per cent is urban.

  • INDIA | Hindu Radicals Disrupt Prayer Meeting
    7.9.18 INDIA | Hindu Radicals Disrupt Prayer Meeting A mob of 20 men attacked Yeshu Darbar Church in Pratapgarh District, Uttar Pradesh, India on July 2. The perpetrators were identified as belonging to Hindu Yuva Vahini (HYV), a youth militia group which defends the Hindutva ideology. The mob trespassed into the church grounds armed with sticks, firearms and shouting anti-Christian slogans while a prayer meeting was underway. The prayer meeting was disrupted when a gun was fired into the air. The mob then attacked the worshipers, including women and children, resulting in eight wounded, who were taken to a local community health center. Reports indicate that church furniture, sound systems, motorbikes, hymn books and Bibles were among the property damaged. According to a local monitoring group, a First Information Report (FIR) under the Indian Penal Code has been registered against the 20 perpetrators. The Hindu Yuva Vahini was founded by the current Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Yogi Adityanath, in 2002 and has been provoking communal tensions in Uttar Pradesh for more than a decade. In May 2017, a group of Hindu Yuva Vahini men killed a Muslim man named Ghulam Ahmad in Bulandshahr following allegations that he had helped a young Muslim man to secretly marry a Hindu woman. Since the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) victory in the Uttar Pradesh assembly polls in 2017, the Hindu Yuva Vahini have been emboldened, instilling fear among religious minorities and carrying out vigilante attacks, including lynching people for alleged beef slaughter. Dr. John Dayal, a civil rights activist and writer, said, “This is a case where social, political and caste entitlement and arrogance has reached its pinnacle.
