Summary

India’s Supreme Court ruled that authorities cannot carry out instant property demolitions, often labeled “bulldozer justice,” against individuals accused of crimes without due process.

The court emphasized that only the judiciary has the authority to determine guilt, mandating a 15-day notice and a personal hearing before any demolition.

Critics argue that Prime Minister Modi’s BJP uses these “anti-encroachment” drives to disproportionately target Muslim communities under the pretext of removing illegal structures, raising concerns about religious discrimination and punitive actions.

    I’ll believe it when I see it. These so called governments have pervasively done this and will continue to. People, already destitute, having the very little they have crushed and ruined, are left to rebuild again from the broken bricks as the cycle continues. Hindustan is a broken nation, rife with corruption. They could be so much more, but continue to perpetuate one atrocity after another.

    Take care of your people. Stop crushing them. Learn love, tolerance, and cooperation. End the violence, discrimination, and worse.
