In Assam, a large-scale eviction drive has unleashed a humanitarian crisis that goes far beyond “clearing encroached land.” Bulldozers, security forces, and mass displacement have become the new tools of governance. Since July 29, 2025, thousands of families—mostly from the Bengali-speaking “Miya Muslim” community—have been uprooted under the claim of removing “illegal settlers” from government and forest lands. But is this really about saving land, or about manipulating the voter list ahead of the 2026 Assembly Elections? Official data reveals a disturbing trend: over 15,000 families have been evicted since 2016, with nearly 70% belonging to the Miya Muslim community. Many have been pushed into detention camps, where deaths and inhumane conditions are reported. Others have allegedly been deported to Bangladesh without proper legal process. The Assam Chief Minister has openly stated that those evicted will be removed from the voter list—raising serious questions about the political motives behind this campaign. This episode of Facts and Figures by Hemant exposes the numbers, testimonies, and chilling ground reports that show how eviction has turned into disenfranchisement. From Golaghat to Dhubri, from detention camps to forced deportations, the story reveals a dark reality: when citizenship and voting rights are decided on the basis of religion and language, democracy begins to erode. Is this just an anti-encroachment drive, or a calculated attempt to weaken an entire community’s political voice? Watch this investigative breakdown to understand how land, law, and lives are being weaponized in Assam—and why this matters for the future of Indian democracy.
