Residents claimed that nearly 2,000 people from Assam used to live here. However, when The Wire visited, the colony was almost entirely deserted. Only around 10-12 women were present, who were about to visit their male relatives… With @shrutik_sharma m.thewire.in/article/commun…
What happened to maids and cooks?! We need our chores done!!! Who cares if their rights are being violated? Who cares if they are fleeing the city because the police is keeping them in "holding centres". ~Our apolitical elites.
“Maid and cook vanished suddenly. What’s going on [in Gurgaon]?”
इस बच्ची के सवाल का मेरे पास भी कोई जवाब नहीं था
Her fears and apprehensions are so real and hard hitting. They are living in constant fear, panic and anxiety. Their curse is that they are poor and Muslims 🥲 I hope State Govts are more empathetic and pro people. This Govt has made lives of the poor so damned miserable.…
“This is Like Living in Nazi Germany”: Mahua Moitra Condemns Detention of Bangla speaking Migrants in Gurugram
Cheap labour without political rights or social security – that’s what India’s dominant middle class wants its ethnolinguistic minorities to be reduced to. Once again, Assam was the earliest reflection of this perverse form of class-cum-ethnic majoritarianism.
“Maid and cook vanished suddenly. What’s going on [in Gurgaon]?”
For the first time, middle class Gurgaon is tasting politics of majoritarianism in the form of absent dog walkers, vanished maids, disappeared car cleaners and stinking garbage. What remains to be seen is if Gurgaonwallas will connect the dots and of they do then by when. If…

বাংলা থেকে ভিনরাজ্যে কাজ করতে গিয়ে সমস্যায় পড়লে যোগাযোগ করুন রাজ্য পুলিশের হেল্পলাইনে বাংলা থেকে ভিনরাজ্যে কাজ করতে গিয়ে অনেকে নানা সমস্যার মুখে পড়ছেন এবং হেনস্থার শিকার হচ্ছেন বলে বিভিন্ন সূত্রে আমরা খবর পাচ্ছি। কিন্তু যাঁরা ভুক্তভোগী, তাঁদের বা তাঁদের পরিবারের লোকজন এই…
' हमारे बेटे को पुलिस ने पकड़ा फिर बीस हज़ार लेकर घंटों बाद छोड़ दिया ' गुरुग्राम की एक झुग्गी बस्ती में रहने वाली ये महिला पश्चिम बंगाल के उन हजारों मुस्लिमों की मुसीबत के बारे में बता रही है , जो डरकर शहर छोड़ने की तैयारी कर रहे हैं . बांग्लादेशी घुसपैठिए है तो जरूर पकड़ो लेकिन…

गुरुग्राम में बांग्लादेशी घुसपैठियों के नाम पर पश्चिम बंगाल के मुसलमानों को क्यों परेशान किया जा रहा है ? भारतीय नागरिक होने के तमाम सबूत होने के बाद भी बहुत से लोगों को पकड़ा /पीटा जा रहा है . पैसे लेकर छोड़ा भी जा रहा है . ये वो लोग हैं , जो पश्चिम बंगाल से कई सालों गुरुग्राम…

پولیس کو شبہ ہے کہ یہ سب بنگلہ دیش سے تعلق رکھنے والے ‘غیر قانونی تارکین وطن’ ہیں، اس لیے انھیں ‘ہولڈنگ سینٹرز’ میں رکھا گیا ہے، جنہیں انسانی حقوق کے کارکن عارضی حراستی کیمپ قرار دے رہے ہیں۔ thewireurdu.com/110040/hundred… @alishan_jafri @shrutik_sharma
पुलिस को शक है कि ये सभी बांग्लादेश के ‘ग़ैरकानूनी प्रवासी’ हैं, इसलिए इन्हें ‘होल्डिंग सेंटर्स’ में रखा गया है, जिसे मानवाधिकार कार्यकर्ता अस्थायी डिटेंशन कैंप बता रहे हैं. @alishan_jafri, @shrutik_sharma✍️ thewirehindi.com/307504/hundred…
इज़राइल ग़ज़ा में जो अत्याचार कर रहा है - बमबारी में 60,000 से ज़्यादा निर्दोष लोगों की हत्या और अब फ़िलिस्तीनियों को भूखा मारना - — इसके लिए ‘नरसंहार’ या ‘क़त्लेआम’ शब्द हल्का लगता है। हम सब के सामने इसराइल नस्लकुशी को अंजाम दे रहा है। उनकी ज़मीन हड़पने के बाद, उनको विस्थापित…
Received this via a forward, written by @ezzingaza I swear to you. Before God. Before this wretched century. Before whatever last flicker of humanity may still remain in me, what I saw today was not life. It was the collapse of everything that ever claimed to be sacred. Once,…
Two years ago when Bengali Muslim workers had to flee Gurugram after the Haryana riots, RWA associations were upset because there was “no one to pick up our garbage now”. thequint.com/amp/story/news…
Major media channels are covering this mass exodus of Bangla speaking migrants as a garbage crisis, how residents of Gurgaon’s high rises are being troubled by the unbearable stench, how it can escalate into a health crisis. Not a word on the right of lesser citizens.
Health Danger! Sector 70 #Gurugram drowning in garbage. Breeding ground for diseases. @MC_Gurugram @cmohry. Pls Help ! Citizens' health at severe risk. #SwachhBharat #Gurugram #WasteManagement #Swachhsurvekshan @DC_Gurugram @SwachSurvekshan @OfficialGMDA @MunCorpGurugram
🚨New work: Dowry demands are killing women. This is the story of two women from UP who died from dowry abuse and pressure. While one family asked for a Creta car, 6 lakhs, the other demanded for a Flat. Watch how their lives were destroyed over dowry: youtu.be/VTAZ_XC0h3A?si…
Collateral damage of hating on powerless Bengali migrants.
Visited the same spot again, with a view to appreciate the civic agencies. Some efforts are visible, however the garbage is on the road and the animals are happy 😊 With a heavy heart posting my video taken today morning. @DC_Gurugram @cmohry @MunCorpGurugram
Severe crackdown on Bangladeshi illegals in Gurgaon? People across the city complaining about their maids, garbage collectors, etc fleeing the city/detained. Have heard this from too many folks already.
