In this episode of News That Matters, Neeraj exposes the silent and systemic crackdown on Bengali-speaking Muslims across India — under the guise of identifying "illegal Bangladeshi immigrants." Based on a detailed Human Rights Watch report, this investigation uncovers how thousands of Indian Muslims are being arbitrarily detained, stripped of their citizenship, and forcibly deported to Bangladesh — without any due process, legal notice, or transparency. From Maharashtra to Gujarat, Assam to Delhi, the same pattern is emerging: sudden police raids, ID cards declared fake, families torn apart, and entire neighborhoods bulldozed in the name of “encroachment.” People are being thrown into detention camps worse than prisons, with no access to lawyers, education, or healthcare. In one shocking case, a schoolteacher from Assam was shot with rubber bullets and dragged across the border without a single legal hearing. We revisit the history of the Assam Accord, NRC, and Foreigner Tribunals — revealing how bureaucratic tools like spelling errors and missing documents have turned citizens into 'foreigners'. The story of Raheem Ali, declared Indian 12 years after his death, is a tragic example of a broken system. Is citizenship now just a piece of paper? Can a flood survivor, a migrant worker, or a daily wage laborer really prove their Indianness? Watch this episode to understand how identity is being erased, rights are being violated, and human lives are being shattered — all in the name of “national security.”
